The Best Food Tour! - This tour was definitely one of the best things I did in India. The guys at Lost Compass are amazing!!!
Firstly I needed to reschedule my booking a couple of times and Raghu was so helpful and accommodating. Then there was Stanley who took
me on the tour around Old Delhi…I had just the best time. Stanley was interesting to listen to and easy to understand. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the food places we visited. The food was cooked fresh as Stanley ordered it and just so delicious. No delhi belly here! As mentioned in other reviews there is tons of food to eat on the tour and I must admit I couldn’t get thru it all but don’t let that put you off. Also got a good look at the markets, saw spice shops, wedding dress shops, jewellery and much more. There is no shopping on this tour which I thought was a great idea. Just concentrate on the fabulous food.
DONT HESITATE TO DO THIS TOUR. Definitely 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Incredible food tour! - We booked this tour quite last minute and we were so happy that we did. We were immediately contacted by the team giving us great tips and instructions for before the tour. Our tour leader was Sonali, she was INCREDIBLE! Sonali has a wealth of knowledge of Indian food and the area. Navigating us through the small streets and tasting a vast amount of incredible different foods was really great, and with every corner we turned came an amazing story. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Just fantastic! - Loved everything about this tour! The food of course, which was amazing and very diverse, but also the guides that provided super interesting content and were very knowledgeable about India's culture and history. Plus it's a great opportunity to visit Old Delhi, which might not be the easiest to discover on your own but is definitely worth seeing
I'll recommend it to anyone thinking about going to Delhi!

Amazing experience to get to know Old Delhi and taste amazing food! - We booked the tour quite spontanously but in no time we were contacted by someone from the Lost Compass providing all the information needed. We highly recommend the tour! Our guide Sonali was extremly helpful and knows a lot about indian food and the history of the area. The food tasted on this tour was delicious and absolutely safe! We also enjoyed that the tour gives you an insight on indian life, as you ride with the metro, a tuktuk and a riksha. Especially for first time visitors like us, it was very nice to get the opportunity to experience this crowded area for a first time with a local. Thank you to Sonali and the whole team at The Lost Compass for this amazing experience!

A MUST DO tour in Delhi! - Unforgettable street food tour hosted by Sonali and Parul, who were both excellent hosts from the start, helping us navigate the hectic streets of Delhi to sample traditional street food.
Huge amount of food / variation (I counted at least 10+ different things overall, each and every one was tasty! The streets of Delhi can be overwhelming, I wouldn’t have known where to start / which places to visit without this tour - they have clearly taken the time to ensure food safety standards at the more hygienic places and displayed an extensive knowledge of everything we sampled! The tour also lasted over 5 hours, so was great value for money.
If you’re interested in trying street food in Delhi, then look no further than this tour, thanks Sonali and Parul!

Absolutely fantastic tour- don’t hesitate to book! - The hustle and bustle of Old Delhi. The people, colours, smells & tastes of wonderful authentic food made this tour the perfect starting point for our 7 day India adventure.
Our guides Stanley and Ayushi were knowledgeable, and spoke perfect English.
Our group consisted of all women aged 14yrs-70yrs and we all loved it! The balanced combination of history, culture, walking and eating made the afternoon a fun memory we all enjoyed. We loved the tuk tuk and rickshaw experience and watching the markets change through from daylight to nightime.
This tour really is fantastic and I would hesitate to book it. If I come back I’ll be sure to book again!

Not just a tour it was an experience! - The Old Delhi Food and Heritage Walk was more than just delicious street food it was an experience. This was so much more than we expected with the appreciable insights into the culture passed onto us expertly by our guide Parul. This is a must do, something you couldn’t possibly achieve on your own.

Amazing Food Tour - I did the Old Dehli Food and Heritage Walk with Sonali and had an amazing time. She was very knowledgeable and showed us all around Old Dehli, taking us to places and food stalls and restaurants that I would never have known about otherwise. My favorite dishes were the kulfi, kachori, and nihari with khamiri roti.
If you want to see different parts of the city, learn a thing or two, and eat delicious food, look no further! Oh, and don't eat beforehand. You're gonna be stuffed!!

Delicious and enjoyable street food tour - I really recommend this street food tour to experience the sights and flavours of Old Delhi! The guide Stanley was very knowledgeable and brought us to lots of great places to try different snacks and dishes, as well as told us about the history of the city. The information before the tour was all very clear so I felt very safe and relaxed for the whole time. Thanks for such a good experience on my first day in India!
