Awesome experience - We booked private Hidden Jewels tour and it has to be hands down one of the best tour experiences we have had in Delhi. We covered different hidden historical sites that were accompanied with storytelling. The tour was far more enriching than visiting the famous sites surrounded by hordes of people. Since we started early morning we had all sites to ourselves. Both Abhi and Anil were excellent tour leaders. Right from the time of enquiring till end of tour everything was top class. Cannot recommend them enough. The best outfit in India.

Well planned and perfectly executed - The whole cycling tour was a lot of fun and a great way to seek respite from your daily city routine. I found The Bike Tribe on Instagram and really appreciate their efforts to put this tour together. The meet up point was hassle-free and easy to locate. Sabyasachi, our tour guide and the founder of TBT, was extremely patient, cooperative and friendly throughout the journey, along with his other team members. Everything was nicely planned and well executed, including the bikes which were top quality. Do give them a shot if you want to see the natural beauty of Delhi with a hint of its archaeological history.

A Delhiliteful Adventure ;D - I personally experienced a real treat going with the Bike Tribe. I'm not much of a cyclist but I found the ride to be very easy. What's helpful is when you're about to go uphill or downhill, they inform you when you to change gears. Now for the adventuring part, I got to see soooo many historical monuments as far back as the Mughals! I'm a history nerd so learning about stuff like this peeks my interests. Our tour leaders were very well informed on the sites too. They do provide snacks and water on the journey but you will have to bring your own bottle. Waking up early is rough but I'm glad we did it because it wasn't that chaotic cycling around and we got to see some wildlife along the way. If you want an escape from city life and get out in nature for a few hours, then this is your trip.

A nature getaway! - It’s crazy to think that such beauty is right here in this massive city! My husband and I aren’t expert cyclists but we had a blast. We saw a lot of wildlife along the way and from the hills we could see the Qutab Minar. Halfway through, you’ll stop for some chai and delicious samosas. Our cycle leaders were very helpful especially Sabyasachi. He got to inform us a lot of the history behind the monuments that we saw. If we made any stops along the way, there would always be a leader staying behind to watch over our bikes. Even our group was fun. None of us really knew each other but we got along really fast and cheered each other on to keep going. Definitely would do this trip again!
