Recent visit to Old Delhi and Masterji Kee Haveli walking tour. - The tour provided a good overview of a traditional Indian market for our kids growing up in the U.S. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and courteous. Some of the markets such as the spice market are interesting to see. The vendors and the rickshaw drivers are very respectful. The lunch at the Masterjii Kee Haveli is a treat, this home is well-maintained and the homeowner is very hospitable. The owner makes an effort to be sensitive to accommodate the needs of the visitors. The family has tried to retain the ancestral home as a representative of the traditional culture which is a cultural experience in itself. Our kids loved the home-cooked meal and enjoyed the visit. Wearing full-sleeve shirts and long pants on this tour is helpful since the market is crowded to protect oneself from flies or mosquitoes.

Well worth it, superb. - Our day in Old Delhi was fabulous- the tour well worth it to be taken to see the real ‘locals’ in the city- it is crazy, hot and noisy and so interesting. We saw our breakfast puri bread being made in a huge pan as we sat with locals, watched a street seller making chewing tobacco, Rode on a tuk tuk and rickshaw, visited a Sikh temple where they feed thousands a day with volunteers and local donations. Ending with a fabulous meal in a private Haveli- still owned by the same family 5 generations on. (She let me have her recipes too 😀). I can thoroughly recommend this tour.

We loved it! - Ram ram!!! I highly recommend this tour to everyone visiting Delhi. Our tour guide Anju showed us historic areas, temples and Haveli where most of tourists cannot step in. It was an experience, not just a sightseeing. The favorite part of my kids was feeding cows and monkeys! The tour ending with an incredible meal in beautiful Haveli. Anju and a gentle host Dhruv treated us like friends with respect. We thank Anju and Dhruv for your hospitality! We loved the tour and we’ll be definitely do it again with my daughter and husband who couldn’t join this time.

Must do this! - Such a lovely day in Old Delhi with Masterji Kee Haveli Tour. I couldn't ask for a better way to experience Delhi than having Angi and the team with us. Delhi is full of beauty, history, taste, smell, culture and warm people in every single corner. Seeing Delhi through Angi's eyes (and steps) was such a joy and fun experience. If you are a curious person and looking for a top-notch genuine experience to explore Delhi, this is for you. I am already planning my next adventure w Angi. Thank you so much.

A thoughtful, tailored service; the best way to experience Old Delhi - This was the second time I took a tour with Anju. I could not more highly recommend the thoughtful, tailored service that Anju and Dhruv provide with Masterji Kee Haveli Tours. The walking / breakfast tour of old Delhi is just like spending the best kind of morning with your favorite auntie while she shows you her favorite spots and introduces you to her friends and you eat something delicious at each stop. A truly magical way to experience Old Delhi. I will be back for another adventure soon.

A trip through the real Delhi - We had a wonderful trip, guided by Raj throughout old city, who had brought his own camera to make sure we got good pictures 😊 We really felt like we saw the real Delhi - Ramram

This is the real Old Delhi Experience - If you want an experience of the real life in Old Delhi then this tour is a MUST. Raj was an amazing, knowledgeable and authentic guide as he is a resident of the area. His thoughtfulness, hospitality and generosity was exceptional. We were even entertained for lunch by the company owner Dhruv in his own home. A beautiful meal (all safe and no tummy issues).. We can't recommend this company highly enough for their service, care and the whole experience. One of the most fascinating days I've ever experienced. Not to be missed.

Wonderful insight into the sights and sounds of Old Delhi - The walking tour around Old Delhi this week was expertly hosted by Vivian. He took us on a great tour around the streets and alleys that make up this fascinating part of the city. Lunch at the Haveli was really enjoyable, cooked with all fresh ingredients. Very good.
