After lots of researching we came across Understanding India Tours on the internet and this company seemed to be just what I was looking for. I contacted Ravi (one of the owners) and within a very short time we were emailing one another to come up with a tour that met my requirements. Ravi was very responsive from the start and took time to understand my requirements. He made some helpful suggestions and he was happy to make any changes I requested until I was totally happy with the finalised itinerary. Only a deposit is payable once the tour is confirmed in order for the hotel rooms to be reserved, the balance is payable during your stay in India. Ravi himself and driver Sandip gave us a very warm welcome at Delhi airport then Krishna (company guide) and Sandip was with us for the entire tour with local guides in each cities. Both really looked after us, ensuring that we were comfortable, had ample time at the sights. The car was very new, spacious (there were 5 of us), spotlessly clean. It was also air conditioned and had wi-fi. Towards the end of our tour we again met with Ravi and I have to say he comes across as a businessman with real integrity. He genuinely cares about his customers and wants them to have a great experience in his country. I have no hesitation in recommending Understanding India Tours.

Ravi led us through a remarkable array of bustling, chaotic, amazing, and delicious experiences in Old Delhi. Wow. As a guide Ravi is clearly expert, knowledgable, organized and constantly tending to our welfare. But best of all he is enthusiastic and loves his city. Very strong recommendation.

My husband and I signed up for a group tour and ended up being the only 2 on our tour. Ravi was our guide, and was super informative. The food we tried was SO good (my favorite was the aloo chaat and my husband's was the fried chicken), and it was nice to not be worried about the hygiene of the places we were going. We specifically wanted to do a street food tour because we wanted street good but weren't sure of where to go to ensure not getting Delhi Belly. :D On a personal note, we also enjoyed talking to and getting to know Ravi. Great guy, great conversation, super kind and helpful. I would highly recommend this company and this tour to anybody interested!

Great 4 hour food tour with guide ravi. This man took us all over parts of new and old Delhi by rickshaw. Food was lovely. Best stop for me I think was the fried chicken. Thankyou again ravi for giving us the food tour. Chris n nikki x

Our trip with Ravi through Delhi, Agra & Jaipur has been amazing. He has arranged all type of activities and guide tours in order to know in the best possible way all the cities and villages of the region. Ravi has been really patient, watchful and he has explained a lot of things of the authentic indian culture, history and traditions. I think is a really good experience also for families with teenagers. Understanding India Tours help you find real and authentic experiences. All the hotels that they had recommended us were perfect. I totally recommend this trip with Understanding India, the service they provided us was perfect.

It was our first time to India and needed some guidance. We got referred to this company by a friend. I take time now to make sure you use this company if you are looking for safety, care, service, advice and help. Do not hesitate. We kept this service over a 3 day period and did various tours in Delhi, including Taj Mahal. No regrets, extremely satisfied. Excellent drivers, very caring attitude and understanding foreigners needs. Well done Ravi. Keep up the good work

We went on the 4 hour food tour with our friends and enjoyed every minute of it. The food was amazingly flavoursome and unique. It was a very well researched tour; our guide Jitu was interesting and knowledgeable. We saw a part of Delhi that we would’ve completely missed out on otherwise. As a bonus, we were also given names of the best restaurants to go to in other parts of India.

We've just returned from an 14 night tour of Rajasthan that was put together with the help of Ravi. We had been to India before so had an idea what we wanted to do and Ravi gave us advice on places to go, timings etc. His communication was always clear and very helpful. The hotels he booked for us were just incredible and comfortable. We knew from experience that a good tour escort and driver was vital to the success of our holiday and are pleased to say that the our company guide Amar was excellent along with all local guides in cities. Amar was always polite, helpful and punctual and was good company throughout the journey.

Brilliant tour of Old Delhi. The food was amazing and mainly vegetarian - although a chicken dish is also served. Plenty of food to fill you up and you can eat more than one serving if you want to (we didn't as there was already lots!). Ravi was an EXCELLENT tour guide, talking to us about history as well as food. I would recommend this tour to everyone and I will be bringing others on this tour when the visit Delhi.

I'm pretty picky about tours especially food tours but I really enjoyed this one. Old Delhi came be overwhelming to navigate so I really appreciated the guidance and organization of this tour. I was impressed with not only the amount of food-- I think there were seven stops, but everything we tried was unique and delicious. Also our tour guide Amar was great-- he was funny, educational, and went the extra mile. It was one of the highlights of my trip. I highly recommend!

We had a really great time with Ravi, the founder of the company. He showed us some nice places and has a big knowledge. This Old Delhi tour was for sure a highlight for my travel through India. Would recommend it to anyone.

My friends and I had a smooth trip of Old Delhi with Abhishek and wonderful assistance by owner of company (Ravi). Bookings were so easy and met other staff during tour, they both were very friendly. I will always use Understanding India for booking my trip to India.

We only had one day in Delhi and I chose to spend it with Understanding India and Ravi. I think we got to see more and do more on this food tour than we could have possibly done ourselves. We spent time at a Sikh temple, went through old Delhi, and finished with delicious sweets. Ravi managed to work in trips to local sites like the sikh temple and spice market or bringing us to some of the most delicious food we had in India. He made our trip to Delhi perfect and we absolutely recommend it!

This tour was such a wonderful way to experience a unique part of Delhi while having some delicious food at the same time. Ravi was amazing. I really wanted to see old Delhi, but wanted some structure, and this was the perfect way to do so. Highly recommended!

We were welcomed at the metro station by Ravi, founder of Understanding India Tours. He introduced us to the Amar, our guide for the day. Before starting the walk he gave some good instructions for entering the Sanjay Colony slum, Because both grew up in the slum they knew everything and everyone, not only about the present but also about the past of the slum. Besides the knowledge he had, he was super kind! In 2 hours he took us on a relaxed pace through the slum, we had plenty of time to enjoy and interact with people in community. Highly recommended to this amazing company.
