A+++ excellent tour - I would highly recommend this tour as an essential value add when visiting the Old City. I explored the area before the tour started, and I really struggled to make heads or tails of it, even as an experienced traveler. The tour did a fantastic job explaining the contours of the Old City and its place in Delhi, and in India. Great insights, great food, great company.

Such a Special Tour! - Wow! I loved this tour with JD so much! It was truly magical to be guided through the streets of Old Delhi and into temples and through the mazes of the Chandni Chowk. We sampled so much food and sweets and saw cool views from the roof of the spice market. Book this tour if you like unique, local and special experiences. What a great way to explore this part of Delhi! I wish I was in town longer to do more tours with JD. He is a bright light.

JD gives the best tours! - JD gives the BEST old Delhi tour. He really wants us to have the full India experience. You see culture, religion, food, and laugh along the way. He really knows what he is talking about and any time people come in town, HE is the one I recommend. You can't go wrong with JD.

Highly Recommend - Great tour, well curated. JDs a great guy to talk to. If you’re checking out Chandni Chowk highly recommend, the alleyways seem like it could be confusing without a guide.

You just have to tour old Delhi with this guy, he’s the best - Friendly and informative; we had the best afternoon. Our guide navigated the best food stalls to visit, & sample their delicacies, without fear of the consequences for we sensitive-stomached- oldies. He’s the best.

Great experience with JD in old Delhi streets- food and culture - Traveling in India alone for the first time and in such a crowded place can be scary and even intimidating. JD made this experience easy and fun. He demonstrates great knowledge and conveys it in an understandable way. Recommended as a start for anyone traveling alone.

Best way to experience culture shock in India! - I’ve been on dozens of experiences in the past few years, but I feel that JD’s tour in Delhi is an example of precisely what a guide should drive to imagine, create and execute. In a mere 3 hours you feel as if you’ve experienced several varieties of the sorts of lives that intersect in Delhi. JD accomplishes through visits to several houses of worship and the sharing of delicious morsels of local food. It’s hard to imagine how this tour could be improved. Heartily recommended!

Great walking food and temple tour!! - This tour with Jd was incredible. He made the markets and temples manageable as foreigners and personally selected each food spot, making it safe to taste everything. He put a lot of thought into the tour and made sure everyone felt comfortable. I highly recommend this experience.”
