Lareb was a great tour...

michellesandor, Feb 2025
Lareb was a great tour guide. He arranged my tour last minute and made sure he could accommodate my timing after it wasn’t available. He also organized transportation making it easy to get there. He was informative and an entertaining guide. He went over and above to ensure I was not alone in Old Delhi. He stayed an extra hour and dropped me off my next activity so I didn’t have to navigate old Delhi alone.

Excellent tour. Lareb was...

Excellent tour. Lareb was a fantastic guide and made exploring the chaotic Old Delhi streets much more manageable. A great way to explore the old part of the city.
