Description
Delhi is known for its rich & yummy food culture from centuries, we are fortunate today that this rich food culture is preserved in form of small food joints by some thoughtful people for generations. We have designed this experience with an intention to take you to these places for food tasting. 1. We will begin exploring the local delicacies of Delhi on this food walk, you can witness the preparation, get an in-depth understanding of local food culture and the things that influenced the development of these cuisines.

Where to start? Well, after reading other reviews saying that the guide didn't even show up and they wasted tuk-tuk money to arrive at the start point, we tried to contact the guide and company 2 days beforehand. They confirmed 3 hours before the scheduled start. The tour started off well enough, as the guide showed up 25 minutes early and was polite. However, things quickly went downhill and we realized he may have showed up early because he wanted to finish early. During the food tastings, the guide was on his cell phone talking with other people while we were eating and provided NO INFORMATION at all about the foods or history of them unless we asked questions in between his phone calls. We ate a total of 4 foods over the course of about 55 minutes, and then our guide told us, "Okay, that concludes the foods that you have paid for during the tour. We will now do a walking tour through Chandni Chowk." We promptly told the guide that providing 4 tastings was ridiculous for the amount of money paid for the tour, and since he was providing no information at all, that we would be able to walk through Chandni Chowk on our own. After requesting a refund online, Yo Tours (tour operator) only provided a 25% refund. I contacted Yo Tours directly via phone and they hung up on me on at least 8 separate occasions on purpose. I filed a further reimbursement request with Viator and they were able to give another 25% refund after Yo Tours refused to do so. I truly believe we deserved more of a refund, but here we are. Please save yourself the time, energy, and money and book a different tour. I really hope that Viator does not do business with shady operators like this in the future, and that they also have a more efficient way for travelers to communicate directly with them in the future for refunds, as it took almost 2 weeks.
We waited for 25mins. Guide did not show up, phone number did not work. After 30mins, we received a WhatsApp message saying the guide was stuck in traffic and would be another 5mins. 5mins later the guide called (& background noise sounded like office not traffic) & said he would be 45mins. We were not prepared to wait in cold 1hr 15 after booked time. Were told we’d get a refund but nothing received & now WhatsApp not delivering to number we communicated with. Unfortunately this seems an unprofessional company who have taken our money for no service. Would not recommend!
Short and Sweet.. They didn’t turn up! No refund for taxis or phone calls that were all to a number unknown?? Very disappointed
We had a great and delicious Tour with our Guide Sachin. We tried a lot of different foods and Sachin told us many things about the meals.
Food was delicious and guide provided history of location and ingredients used for each dish. Can recommend this tour.
We waited at the meeting point for 40 mins, but nobody showed up. They ignored our messages and texts.
Dear grace thanks for your feedback, we are very sorry to hear this, we checked with the guide and she was waiting at the meeting point, she could not reach you on your international number, we will be completely refunding you for this since the activity did not take place.
Great tour around old dehli! Very interesting ! Will do it again next trip! The area is a bit chaotic but it’s good for people watching
The guide tried to change the time of the tour with 15 mins notice wanting to delay the start by an hour . That didn’t suit us as we were there early and had plans later. I’ve no idea if the tour is good or not as the guide didn’t turn up on time and we left. Have applied for a refund but not particularly hopeful about that
dear Micheal thanks for your feedback we feel very sorry for your experience, you will get full refund in 3-4 working days we apologise again for the experience this is not what we stand for, we feel very bad accept our apologies, we are escalating this matter to ensure this does not repeat.
Good basic food tour. Perfect for the amount of time and energy we had. We did 5 food and beverage stops, plus a spice/tea shop.. The guide pointed out some key things about the area without going into large amounts of heavy detail (my preference) Walked away very full of tasty food.
The food walking tour was canceled 1h before the meeting time. I couldn't reschedule the tour before leaving India.
Dear guest thanks for your feedback we feel really sorry for the cancellation it was due to an unavoidable situation, this is a rare occurrence, we feel sad that you missed the experience.
