Wonderful tour of Old Delhi - I highly recommend this tour. Impeccable service, Guide and drivers very helpful and prepared. The car was cozy, clean and, the driver had a calm and safe Guide, which is rare in India. We visited all the major attractions of Old Delhi except the Mosque as it was a day of prayer. So Balwinder, the driver and wonderful forgiveness, I proposed to see India races. We have lunch in a nice restaurant with great food. Thank you.
