You are told at the beginning that you are with a local friend, not a guide - and walking around Old Delhi with Varun felt like that. We sampled delicious foods and treats, walked through the narrow streets, visited several houses of worship, and gained wonderful insights about local culture and history. Our tour was just two of us - one who had spent a lot of time in Delhi, and the other who was new, and we both enjoyed it and learned new things. Definitely recommend to others! The best tour for curious people. :)
The tour for t he beginning til l the end was great, full of experiences only local person can provide. I had a lot of fun and I have learn a lot about the culture habits and history. Highly recommend
We had wonderful tour of Old Delhi with Raj. He took us right into the thick of things, provided us with fantastic photos to remember the day, and was very hospitable taking us into the haveli for a meal. His personal experience of this amazing area of the city was invaluable, and certainly gave us one of the highlights of our stay in India. Thank you, Raj!
The tour was very interesting. The guide having grown up in the area made the tour much more personal. Definitely a tour worth considering, and you get to see a part of Old Delhi that is not often visited by tourists.
Fabulous experience wandering the lane ways of old Delhi, curated beautifully by Dharuv and Varun. History , culture , incredible street food & a wonderful surprise at the end ….. loved every minute 🙏
We were part of small group of 10 & had an amazing tour of Old Delhi with Varun. He was so thoughtful, energetic & knowledgeable about Old Delhi. Throughout the tour we tasted LOTS of street food & NO ONE became unwell. We were in amongst all the noise, smells, chaos & all that Old Delhi had to offer. We loved it all + had a ride on the bicycle rickshaw + the iconic green & yellow tuk tuk. A fantastic tour & at all times felt very safe. We ended with a beautiful home cooked meal in a private home. Highly recommend this tour with Varun.
A wonderful experience if you want to know and experience old Delhi from a local. Raj is a master sharing his stories and his story, making this a highlight for anyone looking to have a deep and beautiful contact with culture, history, and food...
It was really aan interesting sightseeing and a great guide, and in the end a visit to a private house with lunch Thank you very much
Amazing tour! Highly recommend this tour to anyone - Varun was phenomenal in guiding us through old Delhi, providing wonderful cultural and historical background along the way. He kept us, and our young kids, engaged the entire time. Highlight of our trip to Delhi !
We had a fantastic experience with Masterji Kee Haveli and would highly recommend it. The food was a highlight—everything was delicious, authentic, and we felt very comfortable trying it all. Our guide Varun was wonderful and went above and beyond, even taking great photos for us throughout the tour. They also made my birthday feel really special, which we truly appreciated. Ending at the haveli with hospitality from Dhruv with a home-cooked meal was a perfect touch. Overall, a memorable and very well-organized experience.
