This has been one of the... - This has been one of the highlights of our indian adventure so far. Nikhil was a great guide and provided us with great memories. The rickshaw ride was so much fun and the jalebi, samosa and chai along the way were great. We just got to the the jamma masjid in the evening before it started closing which was a great sight with the lights.

Insightful walking tour - We had a fantastic time exploring old Delhi with Suraaj. His English was perfect and his knowledge of old Delhi was incredibly insightful. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to adventure through the streets of old Delhi and feel the safety of a guide.

I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to explore the old city by foot and get a taste of a bustling market that is not cattering to tourists. Suraj is an excellent guide and I highly recommend him and this tour!

If Old Delhi is what you are looking for; maybe look some place else - This was our first tour in India and in Delhi. I was pretty disappointed that we did not see everything that was listed on the itinerary. Our driver was good but the local tour guide seemed more intent on selling us a carpet than anything else. He planted the seeds early and instead of taking us to the sites we were supposed to see, we saw a few things in Old Delhi and then he detoured us to New Delhi, eventually taking us to a "demonstration" and sales pitch to try to get us to buy a very over-priced and not well made carpet. We did not buy - and neither should you. After experiencing more tours and learning to tell the guide early "we do not want to see any demonstrations or be taken to any stores" other tours went much easier. Generally, I would not recommend this tour. I gave it three stars because we did get to see a bit of Old Delhi.

Tour canceled at the last minute - at the very least a call should have been made! - Our tour was canceled at the last minute by an email. Given that you all had our phone number and sent a text the day before to remind us of the tour, a call should have been placed to cancel it. Sending an email that morning is not good. I checked email at 7am, 3 hours before the tour and nothing. Then we got ready and left home to travel to Rajiv Chowk. We waited around there for a while, before finally checking email and seeing that an email came with the cancelation notice that morning around 7:32a. Given that the tour is at 10a and we had to travel to get there on time, we left. home well before the 10a deadline.
