Colorful experience - This was one of the best things I did in India! I attended the Experience with my friends at Host's home in Delhi. Nidhi and Roopak are very welcoming and I learnt a lot about Holi Festival while celebrating it. They went above and beyond before, during, and after the Experience by providing me with information about the Festival. They organized a simple mini Quiz and even shared Recipes of different items which I was served during the Experience. I would recommend this Experience to anyone looking for participation in authentic & local Holi Festival in Delhi in a welcoming home!

5 stars tour - This was a great way to celebrate Holi with locals in Delhi. Everything was very well organised and I was well taken care of. I met several other Guests from different parts of the world for the event. I felt safe and comfortable and served snacks & Lunch during the Tour apart from celebrating the festival itself with abundance of colours. I particularly liked the fun games organised by the Hosts around the theme of Holi. I highly recommend this Tour with the Hosts.

Wonderful, Must Do - It was an exceptional Experience and I am glad that I did this one after researching a lot of similar types. This Experience is organized by a local family and therefore I got personal attention right from the time I booked it. I attended the Experience on the day of Festival itself and was totally satisfied. I celebrated Holi, got drenched in colours, danced on music and had a wonderful meal. Nidhi and Roopak are very kind & warm Hosts. They gave me a lot of info about Holi Festival and I felt totally comfortable while celebrating the Festival with them. I highly recommend this Experience for Holi Festival in Delhi. Look no further, book it if you wish to enjoy Holi Festival in India. You can thank me later!

Beautiful Holi Experience - Beautiful Holi Experience It was awesome to celebrate Holi with a beautiful local family - Roopak & Nidhi and their 2 adult children. They offered a lot of snacks pre-celebration, including the best masala Chai I've had during my travels in India. Everything was well-organized and they provided a lot of fun & useful information. They welcomed us to their home as if we were family and the community we celebrated with was also very welcoming. I recommend this colorful experience with Roopak & Nidhi.

Holi Festival with Roopak’s family - This was a wonderful Experience with Roopak's family and a big community on Holi Festival. This was a complete colour riot and the food was amazing with plenty of options. I also got to learn about the Festival in a fun Quiz from the Host. My colored clothes are now my most prized Souvenirs from India. I enjoyed the Experience thoroughly and highly recommend it to Guests visiting Delhi in March.

A Lovely experience - This was such a fun experience with Roopak & Nidhi at their home in Delhi. I got to eat lot of snacks and sweets besides playing Holi with several international Guests and local community on the Festival day. Roopak was super excellent in communicating with me immediately after I had made the Booking and answered all my questions. As a female solo traveler, I felt very safe with the family during the celebrations. The Experience ended with a delicious Lunch together with Gulab Jamun - my favourite Indian dessert. I highly recommend taking this Holi Experience since it is organsied by Roopak & his family at their very home giving the Experience a personal touch of Indian hospitality. 10/10.

Friendly, welcoming, unique! I met a guy from Singapur and a couple from Japan together with Roopaks Family! - This activity was actually for Diwali - Not Holi! However it was recommended to me by a friend that visited Roopaks place two days before me. We had a pleasant time and the family was very welcoming. The place is neat, original and has a good vibe to experience a real local feeling. The instructions of coming there were plenty and clear, also providing us with WiFi and such. If you want to get to know more about Diwali, you came to the right place. And i am sure, if i'd be around in Dehli for Holi, i come again :-)
