I initially booked a shopping day tour with a female guide via Get Your Guide . I was struggling to find a female to show me around Delhi . The host it transpired , was Tariq shamim from IndiaO who contacted me straight away to see if he could help me further . Tariq asked me what my interests are , and what I’d like to achieve during my 3 and half days in Delhi . I couldn’t have anticipated just how fabulous the bespoke tour he created would be . I couldn’t have asked for more ! History , culture, heritage , spirituality , people , photography . I experienced it all , and so much more thanks to the expertise of Farheen my lovely lady guide , and expert driver Adeel . I have had the best time in their kind , friendly company and can’t thank them enough for taking such good care of me and ensuring that I had the best possible ( flexible ) experiences during my stay . It will be all be etched in my memory forever ! I can 100% recommend Tariq ( IndiaO) , his communication was impeccable and prompt. He provided the safe and personal experience that I sought with the help and support of Fahreen ( and for one day , Sweeta) .

Amazing tour and very recommended. Tariq is an excellent guide and has great knowledge about the history of India and Delhi as well. We have learnt a lot with this tour!
We had the Chandni Chowk walking tour with Tariq. Due to the excellent experience we directly book this tour and asked for some changes. We want to see some other parts of Delhi. It was phantastic again. Two highlights: Mehrauli Archaeological Park, Lodhi Art District. Tariq guided us with knowledge, humor and flexibiliy. We saw other parts of Delhi and we loved this. When Delhi tours, than Tariq and his company
Old delhi was an amazing experience from the people, to the markets, to the spices, to the jewelry. The tour guide was energetic, informative, and encouraged us to try new experiences. He also could read our minds if we needed water or shade. Overall, I would completely recomend this tour It was so good, I used the team two days later.
This is my second tour with Tariq and I couldn’t be happier. He is informative, kind and funny. I have felt safe in large crowds and comforted by his ease of dealing with them. After having many tour guides and I can feel confident saying Tariq is the best, and I will use no other company for tours in India. With excel india I know I will have a great time, learn a to , and stay safe! I highly recommend a tour with him and his company!
We had an amazing day with Tariq exploring old Delhi and eating amazing food! Tariq has such a wealth of knowledge about Delhi and we learned so much! My favorite part was exploring the old Delhi market and eating all the amazing food. We are vegetarian and he brought us to all the amazing vegetarian spots. Best advice is to pace yourself with the food, so you can enjoy it all! I also really enjoyed the spice market and got some delicious spices! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!
The tour of the temples with guide Aldeen was spectacular. His car was pristine and his knowledge of all of the sites was very in depth. We did two tours with this company whilst in Delhi and highly recommend them to all Aussies travelling to India
Wow! Spending the day with Tariq was amazing. He’s informed of course and has plenty of energy, but he felt like a friend before the end of the day. Navigating the temples, traffic and markets was smooth in the middle of chaos. Loved seeing him negotiate for us on the spot…including when some locals asked for my picture, and I said only for a fee! 😂 And one more thing — Tariq has great character. I loved the story of why he became a tour guide, and we respected him even more.
Tariq is a very kind and excelent tour guide! He helped me a lot with personal shopping, left me to visit the Bird´s Hospital and Temples! He is fantastic!
I did a one day tour with Tariq in October 2022. We visited a range of historic sites to the South of Delhi. Tariq was an extremely knowledgable guide, providing historical commentary of each site, and taking a load of photos of me...which was very nice as I was on my own! He tailored the tour, as there was a festival in the small streets of Old Delhi, so we couldn't go there, but the monuments visited were very interesting, and made more impressive by his excellent commentary. We did the tour in Tariq's nice clean, air conditioned car. The tour finished with him dropping me at the airport.
