Just completed an amazing morning with Rahis to Old Delhi. As a solo female traveler in the busiest part of Delhi, Rahis made me feel safe and comfortable. He explained the full history of the area, giving me key facts from different social and religious perspectives. He pointed out ancient religious and commercial sites, treated me to the best jalebi on earth and was of course always willing and able to photograph my journey!! The visit to the spice market was especially exhilarating. Get ready to sneeze but it’s worth it!! All that plus a comfortable smooth ride in his pristine vehicle made this morning worth every penny! I highly recommend this tour and Rahis as the perfect guide.

Highly recommended Delhi tour experience! Pickup and drop-off from the airport were seamless. I loved exploring Old Delhi street food like samosa, jalebi, paratha, and masala chai, which were all delicious. Shopping in Old Delhi was a highlight, I found better-priced jewelry here than in Jaipur. Rahish is extremely knowledgeable about history and shared some insights on Delhi’s past and present while we visited India Gate and Humayun Tomb. He captured really great photos for me too! Capped off the tour with a really good butter chicken and craft beer. A perfect way to experience Delhi in one day!
Thank you for the lovely review! We’re happy you enjoyed Old Delhi, street food, shopping, and Delhi’s history all in one day. It’s great to hear the airport pickup & drop and overall experience were seamless. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back!

I had a great tour with Rahish around new and old Delhi. He offered lots of fantastic historical and cultural insight and as a young female solo traveller k felt very safe and respected. Rahish is good company and showed me some of the must see spots in Delhi as well as lots of hidden gems! A highlight of the tour was visiting the Sikh temple where Rahish taught me more about the religion, he has lots of knowledge which I found very interesting. I would 100% recommend this tour to everyone! Great food, great company, great sights. I will certainly be reaching out to Rahish again for tours in the future. Massive Thankyou!
Dear Leanne It was pleasure to meet you, thanks for your review. We wish you best for your all future endeavors in India. Regards
Our guide RK was on time and picked us up at the hotel with a very good car. On the way to the city he explained the first things to us. Once we arrived at the center, we went further into the city center on foot. Here, too, RK has explained a lot and offered things to try. It went through narrow streets, past various shops, right through the life of Old Delhi. A tour entirely according to our ideas. Wishes on our part were taken into account and fulfilled by RK. Back to the car we drove the TukTuk, which was a great experience. Clear recommendation from us to all who are thinking about doing the tour with RK.
Hallo Antje, vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Wir freuen uns, dass Sie mit unserem Guide zufrieden sind. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen. Viele Grüße!

Perfect afternoon in Old Delhi! Rahis was right on time meeting me at my hotel. He was informative and showed me the great market areas. Then a late lunch of butter chicken was delicious. Thank you for taking care of me during my short stay in Delhi
Hi Amelia Thanks for review. Hope to see you again in coming winters, cheers !!
My wife and I toured the “Old City” of New Delhi, after a direct pick up from IGI Airport. Our arrival was about 3:00pm, with RK meeting us at the Airport and giving us a recommendation to tour the Old City rather than going to our hotel and then touring the city in the early evening. We went with his recommendation and we’re glad that we did - traffic was extremely heavy and saved a lot of time with his advice. We received highlights of the route along the way, passing many national landmarks, and government sites. We parked in a secure, guarded location, so our luggage was safe, and then proceeded on our walking and Tuk tuk tour. RK’s advice on local food that can be sampled by tourists like us was appreciated - we had no problems enjoying baked goods, teas, and other goodies along the way. The visit included stops at multiple historic, architectural, and religious sites, along with an acclaimed local jeweler and spice vendor. Our timing was perfect as the afternoon turned to early evening to see the changes from day to evening activities in the old city. Our one mistake was that we didn’t stay (as recommended) through dinner (to avoid rush hour) so our travel back to our hotel was in VERY heavy traffic. RK was great through the whole experience and we’re very grateful! Happy Travels to all!
Dear Laurel, Thanks for your kind words. As a local of the city our guides know the best & glad to see that you follow advise of him. Hope to see you again & our recommendation among your social circle
