Nikhil was an excellent guide and host. He is knowledgeable and informative. We also had a lot fun looking around Old Delhi with him. Like you will find generally with these kinds of tours they take you to places to buy from associates and it can add up quickly, so don’t be afraid to say ‘no’. Products were good though. I would recommend this tour. Great driver as well with Manoj.

Spent the day exploring Delhi and Chandi Chowk with tour guide Nawin and driver Raj! They both took care of everything from start to finish so I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Nawin was extremely knowledgeable and was able to tell me so many facts about the places we visited which included Qutub Minar, Lotus Temple, Jama Mosque, and Humayun’s Tomb. I truly had a great day seeing new sights and am grateful for both Nawin and Raj for their time! I highly recommend working with them both if you’re visiting Delhi!
Great tour through New and Old Delhi. My tour guide and driver were super friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. The Old Delhi part was a cool experience as we walked and took an auto through the narrow winding streets. The main markets were closed on Sunday (if you want to see the spice markets definitely take the tour any day but Sunday), but the streets were still busy with informal and colorful markets. In New Delhi we saw many of the large attractions and were able to skip the big lines as foreigners. The tour was super flexible and tailored for my interests.
This day long tour of Old and New Delhi on 17 Mar 24, was excellent and struck just the right balance between sharing detailed historical knowledge and explaining life in present day India. We see our guide Nick as a friend and hopefully he will keep his promise to come visit us in Newcastle Upon Tyne sometime. We highly recommend this tour guide service. David & Jane Miller.
We had a wonderful day with our guide Manu and driver Raj touring both the Old and New Delhi. Everything worked well with the logistics, from the pick up at the hotel, and morning rickshaw ride through the old city, and it continued throughout the rest if the day. They made accommodations on our request, and tailored the tour cor us on the fly. In particular, we really appreciated that they respected our request not to visit any stores or factory outlets, since we made it clear from the beginning that we are not looking to buying anything, and want to spend the precious time we have on more genuine experiences. Manu is a good and engaging guide, and excellent photographer too, so we leave with a lot of great memories, both in our hearts and on our phone. Thanks, Jojen & Peter
Our trip with Mr Ali and our driver Mr Shaid was outstanding. They are extremely knowledgeable, professional and courteous. They made our trip easy and extremely productive by taking us to the most important locations as well as specific places that we wanted to visit. I would recommend them highly to anyone. Thank you for an amazing trip and experiences.
An amazing tour with Ali and Shaid who took us around must see monuments of Delhi filled with history and charm. The lotus temple,India gate,spice market etc…highly recommend.
Great work! Lots of information about New Delhi. Asim was awesome! I recommend doing this tour anytime. They will pick you up and drop you off.
SALAMAT was the best person to help me with all my needs for my trip to New Delhi. She provided excellent service with unbeatable prices. Salamat, listen carefully to all of concerns, she handle everything under the time frame, and added details that I would have missed. I can not express enough gratitude towards her outstanding service!
it was a very nice tour, very impressing was visiting the heart of old-delhi and the spicemarket as the big mosque and the graveyard of the emperor built by his wife
This is an excellent trip and I highly recommend it. I loved Old Delhi. My guide, Raj, was smart, intelligent, well informed and delightful company.
High quality and professional The car is nice, very knowledgable guide, we learnt a lot about Delhi and India during the day Lunch was at a good quality restaurant, very good Indian food We booked this travel agent a private trip to Agra, it was so satisfactory experience so we came back to book a day sight seeing in Delhi Might be a bit expensive but it worths every cent Highly recommendable.
Salamat was very cooperative in changing the tour to be just a half day. Our guide Ash and driver Prabhash were very good and gave us a good introduction to the old and new areas of the city. Just being driven through the busy areas of Delhi is a memorable experience.
This is a good tour to take if you have a limited time in Delhi. I was promptly picked up at my hotel by Birender and met up with Raj, the tour guide. Raj was very knowledgeable about the city and he provided a good overview and highlights of the old and new Delhi. We also went to the Gandhi museum which was an enlightening experience.
After doing the Taj Mahal tour the day before, my companion and I immediately knew it would be significantly more efficient, informative, and fun to traverse Delhi with a guide. Ankush was a wonderful tour guide who was patient and knowledgeable and made the day memorable and fun. Considering we set the tour up with such little notice, we were grateful and beyond thrilled with our experience!
This tour makes Delhi a delight to experience! I was picked up (and drop of) at the airport, perfect for my 14h stopover on my way to Sri Lanka. The car was nice and w AC. The driver made all the transport hassle free. I got to see all the stops, and the house with Gandi memorial as a bonus. It was a really unique experience to see "wedding street" from a bike-taxi. Also I shopped some spices in a shop with large selection. The guide has extensive knowledge about historic events and the sights. Hi is happy to answer any questions, and to costumize the trip. Ankush my guide and gopal my driver
Picked up on time from hotel. As a more mature lady I was a bit concerned about being out alone but the driver and the tour guide put me at ease right away. Kishor was informative and liked to be asked questions. Had the most amazing experience. I knew it was going to be that I had to pay for monument entrance fees but wasn't aware that UNESCO sites charge a wee bit more. Had to stop at an ATM. Having been to Mumbai, earlier that week, it was not an issue so be aware to carry some rupees. My disappointment was at the end of the tour when I was taken to a factory, that sold everything Indian. The staff were all over me like a rash as I entered. As soon as I said I hadn't come on the trip to by a $1500 dollar rug, they dropped me like a hot potato. I did buy some gifts but they basically turned the lights off as I left. When I entered, they told me I would be met on each floor, by a friendly member of staff to show me their various gifts etc. When I left they never even looked at me when I said thank you. Spoiled a brilliant day :{ Maybe I am picky....if you want to buy your gifts it is a good opportunity and good prices, but as I live in Asia, I do not want, or need, to buy from them. If you are travelling from overseas this place may be just what you are looking for. Unfortunately it wasn't my cuppa tea.
Enjoyed this wonderful city tour with guide Ankush. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Amazing personality and you can see and hear the love for his country in the stories he tells. Our driver Narinder was prompt and made us feel safe and pampered. We will recommend your services to friends who come to India.
<p>Great tour. My guide RK and driver were very nice. They were right on time to pick me up and dropped me at a location i desired right on time too. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The driver was very experienced too. I saw many different and contrasting aspects of Delhi. I learned quite a few things on this tour. I enjoyed myself very much and felt safe at all times despite being a single female on my own. All in all, I had a great experience thanks to these guys.</p>
<p>We had a great time on this tour! Our driver Salamat was timely and patient as we drive through the traffic of Delhi. Our guide Ankush was extremely informative and told us interesting little facts at all the sights. He had all the answers to our questions. He was very calm and made our as really enjoyable. Overall a great day and a great way to see all the major sights of Delhi.</p>
