Highly recommended tour and nicely done services - Highly recommended tour and nicely done services. We were picked up in time from our hotel and the car was brand new along with a friendly driver. Our host facilitated our entry into the synagogue and prior appointment for the same was already taken by the operator. This tour is not a typical touristic tour and entry is reserved. The efforts of our operator are commendable since they prearranged our visits and ensured ease entry into the sites. One suggestion: typical tourists stay away from this tour as this tour is a religious one with a very specially designed route.

Great afternoon tour of Jewish New Delhi - What a great afternoon! We visited Chabad and had a delicious lunch, went to the Jewish Cemetery and saw graves of Jewish New Delhi people, including officers who fought for India. We also saw the Jewish Synagogue next door and got to meet the lay leader Ezekiel Malekar who’s family has been in India for 2000 years. The Jodhi gardens are beautiful and Jai was a great and interesting guide, with lots of info about Jewish Delhi and India and India in general.

nice guide with luxury transport - Professional and humble guide. "Jai" seems to respect the traditions and customs of every faith including Jewish One. While in the cemetry He advised u to not to click photos as t was a community cemetery where blessed souls were resting in peace.

Quaint synagogue and green corners of delhi - Synagogue was located in a plush green corner of delhi and the Rabbi Mr Malekar was the gem of a person, he told us about a lot of Jewish Heritage of India and many Jewish personalities who contributed a lot to the Indian society. The Lodhi Gardens part of the tour was also fantastic as it was green clean and so oxygen rich

History and heritage - enroute to lodhigardens, we found this gem of a place. although the synagogue was closed due to some reasons but we indeed visited the adjoining cemetry housing various jewish personalities who served india out of sheer sense of service.

Jewish Heritage Sites - Happy to visit this small synagogue in Delhi. The rabbi was quite welcoming. Sadly: no photos of the cemetery were allowed. Also had a very nice visit to Chabad.

Utterly deplorable - This is no reflection on the guide. He did his best. How can you provide such incompetent guides. Poor English . Didn’t know where we were going, had to ask on many occasions, passer byes directions. Got lost several times. As such he really had no knowledge of the tour. Shame on you for the standard of guide. Very angry, total waste of money.
