Throughly enjoyed my cultural immersion with Suraj as my guide. The rickshaw ride was wild!
I thoroughly enjoyed my cultural immersion with Suraj and would highly recommend. Rickshaw ride was wild!
Suraj was excellent he is so friendly and very knowledgeable he took us to see all the highlights of old Delhi and in just 3 hours we have experienced so many different things sights sounds monuments and temples it was a truly memorable experience
Rahul was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable, helpful, friendly!
Very unprofessional. We booked free walking tour with them on Freetour.com. The idea of free walking tour is tourists tip the guide based on tour quality. No fixed amount charged. But they asked me for 2000 Rs before the tour itself. Also asked for nationality beforehand which seemed unnecessary. And refused the tour later.
My guide vikram and driver dimble were excellent guides and driver. Vikram showed me much more than I was expecting and very knowledgeable.
Fantastic mix of sightseeing and off the beaten path experience. Shahbaz is so knowledgeable and has great stories! He is warm and very interesting. Our driver was expert at navigating the crazy traffic of Delhi. I highly recommend this tour and Shabaz!
I was looking forward to a good tour visiting all places mentioned on the itinerary but we only covered 2 - Jama Masjid & Khari Baoli spice market. My guide also insisted I paid 1000 rps to the rickshaw driver! Maybe it was the guide I had, he was a student and doing this in spare time. He kept trying to take me to different places to buy things and ignored the itinerary. It was a bad experience, and I was glad when it was over.
Our guide was super helpful and really knowledgeable. Ashish was really adaptable and let us decide what we wanted to do, as driving around he took diversions to shows us different sights. We went for lunch and he helped us order food he recommended which was brilliant.
Because it was for my friend such a totally different experience to anything else and our guide, Vikas, was very helpful and knowledgeable in explaining key features of the tour and responsive to our questions
A fantastic way to see the old town of Delhi. Our guide Suraj was a mind of information and steered us around the miraid of old streets in this area as well as taking us into the main sites such as the mosque and temples. Highly recommended
Javed is very knowledgeable person and so kind his knowledge was outstanding he is very professional about work thank you Javed
I just had a fantastic tour with expert tour guide Dave. I am a female travelling solo and I booked this tour to enable me to visit Old Delhi and the Spice Market in a way that I would not have felt confident to do alone. The tour exceeded all expectations. Dave was polite, courteous, spoke excellent English, and was unbelievably knowledgeable (he has a history degree!) and passionate about Delhi and its rich history. We visited multiple sites, all of which were fascinating, and enjoyed a rickshaw ride at the end. Instead of returning to the meeting point Dave also ensured I got back to my hotel safely since it was in the general area and by now, after sunset. I very much appreciated this. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. It is a jam packed, roller coaster three hours of brilliant Old Delhi exploration. Thanks Dave!
Suraj led us on a great tour of old Delhi. He provided a lot of great information about the areas that we were walking through and the sites we visited (multiple markets and temples). I highly recommend this tour and experiencing old Delhi on this guided walk
A great short tour with a knowledgeable guide. Travelled by car, train, rickshaw and feet. Tour filled with people, colour and sound.
Not sure…no on was there. Asked at United Coffee and was told no one was there. Why do I need to add more?
Sunny was a fantastic guide , I felt very safe as a solo traveler. Very knowledgeable, highly recommend! A super fun trip
We had a wonderful morning trip with our tour guide exploring Old Delhi. Definitely recommend this experience for female travelers looking to explore the busy part of town while still feeling safe 🛺 🇮🇳 🪷
Tour was a bit short; guide was not as knowledgeable as I expected; more time spent in places that took commission for sales than exploring; at least the haggling over rickshaws etc was avoided.
The rickshaw ride is really fun thru the chaotic streets of Old Delhi. We felt we were steered toward certain shops to buy things from specific vendors. It felt more like a sales tactic.
The tour covers Old Delhi which is important to do with a guide if you are unfamiliar with the city. Pick up was prompt and driver was very good.
Karan was an excellent guide. The temple was a great place to visit. I would recommend coming here and getting Karan as your guide.
Excellent tour! Our guide Nikhil was a friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful tour guide around Old Delhi. I would highly recommend :)
Nikhil was a very good guide, lots of interesting historical information and always happy to help with whatever we needed or wanted to do. Highly recommend!
Our driver arrived on time. Very polite & friendly. Our guide was very helpful, informative & friendly. We would recommend this service.
Great day with Gourav. Very informative and interesting, showed me the highlights of Delhi suited to me including the markets and mosque
Our guide have a truly personal insight into religions of India. Added humor made even more enjoyable. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Fantastic experience. Guide Sandeep was at the meet-up point as described along with driver. Went to the biggest Sikh temple in Delhi then by rickshaw through Chandni Chowk visiting Red Fort, Jama mosque, a walk through the chaotic spice markets with a stop for chai, and then onto Gandhi memorial garden. Could not have covered this many places alone. Don’t hesitate to book.
Wow what an amazing experience!! The beautiful sights were made even more amazing by having the best guide ever, Nikhil! This is a must see and must do
Manish took my 74 year old father to be scammed by local fake pashmina vendors and did not warn him. The tour was supposed to last 3-4 hours and included a visit to Jama Masjid, spice market and all… but it only lasted 2 hours plus the car ride, and Manish had said they couldn’t enter Jama Masjid which I know to be untrue. Only some areas are restricted there for Muslims. Ridiculous and untrustworthy. Cannot recommend and will not use this your provider again.
Karan was very patient and answered all of our questions. He was thorough with his explanations and we were grateful for his insights.
This was our first tour in India and in Delhi. I was pretty disappointed that we did not see everything that was listed on the itinerary. Our driver was good but the local tour guide seemed more intent on selling us a carpet than anything else. He planted the seeds early and instead of taking us to the sites we were supposed to see, we saw a few things in Old Delhi and then he detoured us to New Delhi, eventually taking us to a "demonstration" and sales pitch to try to get us to buy a very over-priced and not well made carpet. We did not buy - and neither should you. After experiencing more tours and learning to tell the guide early "we do not want to see any demonstrations or be taken to any stores" other tours went much easier. Generally, I would not recommend this tour. I gave it three stars because we did get to see a bit of Old Delhi.
Our tour was canceled at the last minute by an email. Given that you all had our phone number and sent a text the day before to remind us of the tour, a call should have been placed to cancel it. Sending an email that morning is not good. I checked email at 7am, 3 hours before the tour and nothing. Then we got ready and left home to travel to Rajiv Chowk. We waited around there for a while, before finally checking email and seeing that an email came with the cancelation notice that morning around 7:32a. Given that the tour is at 10a and we had to travel to get there on time, we left. home well before the 10a deadline.
This has been one of the highlights of our indian adventure so far. Nikhil was a great guide and provided us with great memories. The rickshaw ride was so much fun and the jalebi, samosa and chai along the way were great. We just got to the the jamma masjid in the evening before it started closing which was a great sight with the lights.
We had a fantastic time exploring old Delhi with Suraaj. His English was perfect and his knowledge of old Delhi was incredibly insightful. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to adventure through the streets of old Delhi and feel the safety of a guide.
Abby was excellent. We had a great tour. We saw many sites including Sikh temple and walking tour of busy old bazaar area and thrilling rick shaw ride. We highly recommend this tour
We had a wonderful experience walking the streets of Old Delhi with Suraj. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to explore the old city by foot and get a taste of a bustling market that is not cattering to tourists. Suraj is an excellent guide and I highly recommend him and this tour!
Great experience going through old Delhi markets and eating the street food. Very knowledgeable tour guide and would recommend again
Anes was SUPER helpful and knowledgeable on how to navigate the market and Mosque. Would HIGHLY recommend asking for him to help you along the way with your tour!
Rahul was patient, kind, flexible, and very knowledgeable! He often asked what my preferences were and tailored the tour to suit my wants. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe. I highly recommend!
Dashrath was very polite and kind, he took us to all the places we wanted to visit including the dropoff location. If you want to buy particular something, you can ask him in a way like “Where can I find ** ?” He’ll take you to the right place.
Rahul was extremely patient and understood what we wanted. Very happy with his services. We got a very good tour of Old Delhi ! Couldn’t be happier!!!
Rahul was excellent . Very happy with his service. Very knowledge about old delhi. He was very friendly. Took.us to really cool.places.
Nikhil guide was great! Very knowledgeable about the local food and history. Nothing seemed too much trouble. An honest guide who was trustworthy and happy to take us to the best spots in Old Delhi.
Nikhil guide. Great to be shown around Delhi without having to worry about where to go and what to eat. Nikhil was very knowledgeable about the history and things in the area. Fun way to experience busy Delhi.
Suraj, our tour guide was relaxed, flexible, friendly and organised. From beginning to end our tour was easy. If you haven’t been to Old Delhi before and you want a basic overview of its history, seamless transportation and want to relax without having to organise everything- this is your tour.
Shaily was exceptional. I didn’t make it on time and she did everything to find me so I could be part of the tour. I highly recommend
I am a solo female traveller and booked this tour to see old delhi, the tour guide Shailja was amazing, she made this 3 hour tour into a full day tour, was completely committed to show us delhi and keeping us comfortable, I can’t express how happy and satisfied I am, and would definitely recommend everyone to book this!
Very nice trip with Krishna, our guide. He explained everything to us and solved every question and every problem we had. No doubts to look for him if we come back too India
