Thank you Sanjay. Fabulous food and Old Delhi adventure today. From the Metro to the streets of Old Delhi we were treated to the sights and smells and noise of old Delhi. The food we experienced was sensational and new to us. Being a very hot day we were kept well hydrated. We will definitely recommend this trip to our friends back home in Australia. We felt looked after and safe. One of the highlights at the end was our rickshaw ride back to our hotel at the end of the tour. Nothing gives you Indian food like India. Thank you for giving us real India today.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We are delighted to know that you enjoyed the Old Delhi food and cultural experience with Sanjay. It’s great to hear that you felt safe, comfortable, and well looked after while exploring the vibrant streets, flavors, and history of Old Delhi. The rickshaw ride truly is a fun way to end the adventure! We really appreciate your kind recommendation and look forward to welcoming you or your friends from Australia again in the future for more memorable experiences.
On the day of the tour they cancelled it because the guide had fallen ill but instead they gave me another tour of Delhi and its main attractions
Really enjoyed the tour, Danny was a great tour guide and very informative. Great way to experience Delhi, food was delicious also.
Amazing guided tour through old Delhi - perfect food spots! The guide Danny did a great job and it was perfect for our first day in India!
Had amazing time with the best quide Danny. The food was delicious and it was really interesting to see and hear about the local life!
The trip was really good! We got a nice experience of the old town and the vegetarian food was just amazing. We learned a lot from our tour guide and he was really nice!
Danish was our guide for the Old Delhi street food tour, he was a brilliant guide and helped show us the magical old Delhi area and markets. We had lots of incredible foods and Danish shared his knowledge of the area and history. Walking through the Old Delhi spice markets is sensory heaven and makes you feel like you are transplanted straight into a novel, this tour is a must for when you visit!
This tour was is the perfect way to spend your first day in India. I was guided by Dannie and he made me feel very comfortable within the choas that is called old Delhi. They will take you on the metro and you will have a Riska ride so you can feel the streets of old Delhi. They will not only show you the food strip but also show you the markets. I really enjoyed all of the food we tried and we finished with a non vegeratian diner (and no Delhi belly!). I would highly recommend to get a food tour so you know for sure the food you are eating is safe as a foreigner. Thank you all and I will be back in the future!
Amazing foodtour and city tour. Our Guide danish was very friendly and humble. You get so much information and food over the Day. I recommend it!
