Gastronomical indulgence - A wonderful personalised tour tasting some incredible authentic and traditional foods with fascinating commentary by our accompanying chef Aditya. A wonderful way to experience and get to know Old Delhi as we also got to do a rickshaw ride and visit the spice market.

Very good tour old Delhi - Me and my friend had a Delhi food tour with Aditya. I was very impressed.
He took us to some brilliant places we wouldn’t have stopped at otherwise, and we enjoyed some delicious street food. Also had great knowledge of the history of the area, the food and ingredients.

Great tour with a fantastic guide - I've done several food tours in different countries, and this was one of the best. What really made it stand out was having Aditya as my guide. He's a professional chef by training, and you can tell he loves food. We went to some great places I would never have chosen on my own.
Also, he's a really cool guy who you can totally connect with. I've done some other tours before, and while the guides were fluent in English, they weren't people I could see myself hanging out with. This was like taking a tour with a friend.

Educational food tour! - Aditya was a great guide. He educated us on all the various dishes we tried, discussing the profiles of each and how the different flavors complimented each other.
I’ve taken many food tours but this one stands out. He followed up too with a list of the dishes we tried. Honestly we were sick of Indian food by this point but that’s because we were ordering the same dishes each time we ate our. Aditya exposed us to new dishes with very different flavor profiles that were different than what we had had and delicious. Thank you Aditya!

Fabulous Food Feast - In a trip full of surprises, great experiences and wonderful sights, our food tour with Chef Aditya was one of our best moments. The food was amazing (we did not get sick!!), and Addy was extraordinarily knowledgeable about the food we ate, the history of the places we visited and Indian history and culture.
