An incredible must do street food tour whilst in Delhi! - Deepak was an incredible tour guide who took us to great street food spots we would not have discovered ourselves. He was extremely knowledgable teaching us about the dishes, culture and life in India. Would highly recommend!

Great personalized tour - Deepak was an excellent guide, from the moment he met us to the end of the tour. We expected to be taken to local places to try the food and we did! It was amazing and we totally felt safe trying these things as we trusted Deepak to choose the best things for us.
But we got more, he was so knowledgeable regarding the history, buildings, religion, etc of India and we learnt so much from him.
Deepak is a natural guide, articulate, witty and very charming. You cannot go wrong booking with him...

Amazing Food, Tour, and Guide - If you're having second thoughts about booking this tour then let this be your sign to book it! Deepak was very knowledgable, funny, and made my tour one of the smoothest that I had in India. As a solo female traveler in India I'll admit I was a bit scared to be traveling alone, but Deepak made sure I was safe and at ease. Thank you Deepak!

Great Old Delhi experience - I had a great pleasure to experience the vibrant Old Delhi with Deepak the tour guide. Deepak was very friendly, well organised and knowledgeable about the area we visited. The local food was very tasty but mostly the people and the place itself are unforgettable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone travelling alone, couples or small groups.
