Old & New Delhi Day Tour - Shamim was an excellent guide with a deep knowledge of historical details. He also had a friendly and engaging personality. When it came to shopping for souvenirs, he directed me to places where I could pay local prices rather than inflated rates for tourists, which was a refreshing change from my previous experiences with other guides.

Wonderful one day solo trip in Delhi - Zayn is friendly and kind. He shows me the history, religions and architecture of India. And he accompanies me to the Spice market and try the local masala tea which is much better than I had in hotel. I really appreciate it.

Best tour ever - This tour was perfect. our guide faiz was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we felt comfortable and enjoyed ourselves. we began by visiting Jama masjid and faiz provided us with fascinating insights that made it feel like an insider's tour. Then we hopped on a tuk-tuk and explored Chandni Chowk, stopping at a spice market where the owner gave us a tour and explained all about the spices. Since I was keen on buying spices in Delhi, this was exactly what I was hoping for.
