Great Old Delhi experience - We had a great morning with Prakeet and his intern. Old Delhi is a very eclectic mix of foods and religions. We sampled many of the foods and were taken respectfully into 5 or 6 different places of worship. Prakeet is very knowledgeable about the history of India, the history of Old Delhi and all of the various religions. We got a lot out of our tour and, although it was conducted at a relatively gentle pace, we were glad to get back to our hotel for a rest!! Prakeet also recommended some local restaurants and we had a lovely meal this evening “downtown”.

Old Delhi Faith and Food tour - Vaibhav (also known as “V”) and his apprentice Nishtha were our tour guides for the Old Delhi Faith and Food Tour. We sampled food and snacks from many street vendors and visited temples and places of worship from many different religions in Old Delhi. Vaibhav was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Old Delhi and what it has to offer. He knew all the food vendors and we were confident that we would have no stomach issues. He was eager to share his knowledge with us and gave us a lot of insight into the religions cohabiting in Old Delhi. We really enjoyed having Vaibhav as our guide.

A good combination with a helpful guide - Vaibhav led us on this tour and was a charming and helpful guide. We went to places we would not have tried without his guidance and learned a lot. The combination of seeing several different religions' places of worship and eating different dishes as one proceeds on the tour works well. We were glad we took this tour.

Wonderful introduction to the food and culture of Old Delhi - We had a wonderful, fun tour with Priansha who combined visits to a series of fascinating food stalls and shops in Old Delhi that we would never have found with visits to Jama Masjid, Hindu, Jain and Sikh temples, and a church which drew out the history and culture of Delhi. Highly recommended.

Making friends on the other side of the world - Prateek is an amazing human as well as a perfect match for me. He was great to get to know as a person on top of his amazing memory and ability to call on his wealth of knowledge. I plan on staying in touch with him after I leave India. Though we did pivot from our tour this morning due to weather, I enjoyed our tour of the national museum and then our visit to the market. I think Prateek has changed the way I will tour museums in the future, in that having someone as knowledgeable as him accompany me while looking at various historic pieces adds a lot to the experience. 10 out of 10

Highly recommended in Delhi - We had a wonderful time with Prateek as our guide in Delhi. He shared amazing stories of the city, we felt very knowledgeable by the end of out trip. Our tour inside Old Delhi was memorable for all of our family, we loved the spice market and took a great picture on a rooftop. It felt like we would never would have been able to find these places by ourselves. Highly recommended.

Unique Old Delhi culinary/cultural experience with tour guide Vaibhav - The Old Delhi Morning "Food & Faith" tour was really an extraordinary experience. Each of the 5 street food samplings were delicious. After tasting one of the samosas I don't think I'll be able to enjoy a US Indian's restaurant's samosa again. The visits to the Muslim, Jain, Sikh and Hindu sanctuaries were really eye opening. And the highlight had to be the rickshaw ride immersing us into the Old Delhi world. Vaibhav was our tour guide and you'll be lucky if you have him. He gave us really interesting insights and historical context for the religious sites as well as modern day India.
