      Temple Tour
      Lovely tour in comfortable small SUV. The temples are soactacukar and guides knowledge was good, though his English was a little hard to understand. But he also spoke Soanish, so we used that too.

      Informative and interesting tour
      Very interesting. Well informed guide who was flexible, knowledgeable and honest. We also spent time in the Sikh temple which was something we would not have considered or been brave enough to go by ourselves.

      Temple tour
      The tour guide, as well as the driver, were very accommodating considering we were travelling with a small child. The Akshardham temple has very elaborate marble works. A must-see. Be prepared to remove your shoes in these places of worship, and in most of them, you cannot take photos.

      Temple tour in Delhi
      Karam was a good guide, maybe more information and more attendance to the guest would be nice, he knows the city but needs a bit more experience. He will get it with time but overall it was really good

      Excellent trip
      Such a good trip. Our guide, Neha, was brilliant. She was very knowledgable both of the history and the area. She brought the trip to life for us. We particularly enjoyed the trip to the spice market. So chaotic and colourful. Highly recommended.

      Busy Sunday afternoon at Delhi temples
      Had a nice tour with guide Nikhil on a busy Sunday afternoon to some Delhi temples. He knows a lot about the temples and the history, I really enjoyed it. The driver picked me up on time at my hotel. I would recommend to not visit the temples on the weekend since it is very busy (many locals), try to go Tuesday-Friday if possible.

      A must see Tour if you get the chance
      There’s no “Tech” allowed, such as phones, smart watches or even air pods, for example, so it’s something to bear in mind before entry. (My guide and driver took care of these, so had absolutely no issues or waiting) My guide Neha was amazing, really brings you at ease and is really knowledgeable about the temple, and Delhi as a whole. She made the experience so comfortable (Thank you) not forgetting our driver who was just as courteous and friendly. I was in safe hands, with knowledge and professional friendly people…. What more would I want. Made my experience all the worth while.

    There were some minor problems in the beginning (driver did not show up), however all was solved perfectly and I ended up having a great tour, seeing many parts of Delhi I would otherwise never have visited as a solo traveler. Tour guide was nice and very knowledgeable. If you don't have much time for your Delhi visit, this half day tour (including Red Fort visit) is what I absolutely recommend :)

    Three friends and I took this tour, also a lovely couple from Monrovia joined the tour. Our guide, Anshul, met us promptly and after introductions we were off!
    We began with a metro ride. A few stops later and we were in Old Delhi. The area was bursting with life. People walking. Bicycles. Rickshaws. Hand trucks. People coming and going, loading and unloading goods. People living life on the streets, cutting hair, getting a shave, sewing clothes, ironing. The colors. The wares. The sheer number of people. The sounds. The horns. The smells. Wow!
    Anshul did a wonderful job of explaining the history of the area, as well as what’s current in an interesting and relatable way. He skillfully guided us through the streets, and a few alleys. We went to the Jama Masjid Mosque, a Sikh temple, Kinari Bazaar, and the spice market. Along the way we sampled daulat ki chaat, and had wonderful chaayos. Plus we had a birdseye view over the spice market from a rooftop. Besides the metro ride, we also rode a rickshaw. All-in-all a very enjoyable tour. After the tour concluded, we mentioned that we were going to try and reverse our walking path back to our hotel. Anshul offered to walk back with us and help guide us. His helpfulness was much appreciated.

    Suraj was very friendly and knowledgeable, we really enjoyed our tour, especially seeing food being prepared at the Sikh temple. The tour has given us more confidence to travel around Delhi- Suraj very kindly showed us how to use the metro and got us into the right trains. Would highly recommend this tour!

    Old Delhi can be a difficult place to navigate. We are so glad that we had a guide who was able to show us around. Our guide, Isha was fluent in English, confident, and knowledgeable. She showed us all the important sights, carefully navigating through the narrow streets. As part of this tour you will visit multiple religious establishments. Make sure everyone in the group is dressed conservatively.

    Our tour guide, Suraj, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions. The tour itself was very informative and fun. We got to explore different areas of Old Delhi! I really enjoyed the Spice Market. I felt like I was able to get an authentic experience of India.

    Amazing tour! I really wanted to see old Delhi but was as a solo woman was uncertain about going alone - this tour with Suraj was the perfect mix of being part of the crowd and feeling secure and learning about Old Delhi! I loved visiting the religious sites, especially the Sikh temple. Thank you Suraj!

    I was picked up by Akansha who greeted me & made me feel at home. I enjoyed my first ever ride on metro & Akansha filled me knowledge about culture & history. The visit to Mosque & Gurdwara Sikh Temple was just an amazing experience ! I learnt so much from these holy places & amazed with the architecture. The wedding shops & spice markets were impressive. So many spices ! The food at restraunt was just delicious, yummy. If you like a great tour of Old Delhi then this is the tour ! Thank you Akansha, definitely like to recommend you !

    This tour really covers a lot of ground. Our guide was knowledgeable and helped us buy things we spotted along the way. The tour was well organised and informative. We really enjoyed it! The only hard part is it moves quickly through very crowded areas. If you have someone in your party, as we did, who can’t move at quite that pace, it can be a little tough as the guide keeps it moving. But we did enjoy it very much, even the less mobile person in our party. Certainly recommend!

    Isha was such an energetic guide, full of useful information and made the tour really interesting! Would recommend for those wanting a look at some of the more traditional and raw places in Delhi. It got busy and hectic at times, great to have someone like Isha who was very calm and organised to guide us through.

    I took the 3 hours Old Delhi tour and to my surprise I was the only one, so a private tour which I was very pleased with.
    The tour is nicely organised with parts of waking and parts of rickshaw and parts of walk.
    My tour guide was a lovely hound lady called Neha and very accommodating too.

    You have to pay for rickshaw rides which are each around 20-40 rupees. I didn’t have any cash with me due to change of plans and she was so nice to pay for me and then takes me to the ATM.
    She also took photos of me in different spots which was really nice.

    We finished the tour in 2.5 hours which I think was just enough length.
