A fantastic tour with a friendly, experienced guide (Zain) who ensured we were well looked after. Would very much reccomend.
Zane was an excellent guide. Felt very well looked after. The driver was perfect with timings
Good transformation great guide
Sometimes a few words say everything. We're delighted your tour was both enjoyable and well guided. Wishing you many more memorable journeys ahead.
Our driver was very kind and kept us cool! Mathur (our guide) was really knowledgeable! He was great with showing us good spots and helping to take really great photos of both us and the monuments!
A comfortable ride and a guide who knows where to stand for the best photos can make a surprisingly good combination. Mathur clearly made sure you left with both great memories and plenty of pictures to match. A good photo has a way of bringing the whole day back.
I really enjoyed this tour!! My guide, Raghuveer Singh Rajawat, did a great job showing me around and explaining the history. I am a solo female travel and initially felt nervous about coming to Delhi by myself, but I felt completely safe on this tour. All in all I am very glad that I chose this tour for my day in Delhi. Thank you!
Travelling solo in a new city can feel like a big step, so it's great to know you felt comfortable and well looked after throughout the day. Raghuveer always enjoys helping guests discover Delhi while sharing the stories behind its landmarks. Confidence is the best souvenir a traveller can take home.
Excellent tour. Neeraj is a wonderful tour guide, very insightful and answered all my questions. All the admission fees were paid for and sorted which removed all the fuss. A perfect way to see Delhi if you only have a sort amount of time. I really enjoyed this and would recommend to others!
Having the admissions, planning, and guiding all taken care of can make a huge difference, especially when time is limited. It's great that Neeraj could help turn a short visit into such a rewarding experience. Delhi has a lot to offer, even in just a few hours.
Have a nice tour experience with Suhani, professional tour guide with passion and easygoing!
Thank you for your kind words about Suhani. Being professional while keeping things friendly and easygoing is a balance that guests really appreciate. Those qualities often leave the best impression.
Excellent tour visited places I would never have found. Good range of places visited
It's wonderful to know that the tour introduced you to places you might never have discovered on your own. Exploring those lesser-known corners often adds something special to the experience. There's always more to a city than its famous landmarks.
Vivek was an amazing guide - it was a really good way to see Delhi (Old) as I was visiting inly for a few days. Vivek made sure I was safe and he was kind - and also took LOADS of great photos for me!
Thank you for sharing this about Vivek. Exploring Old Delhi is always more enjoyable when you can focus on the experience while someone else takes care of the details and helps with the photos along the way. Great to see you enjoyed your time in India.
Interesting afternoon at the temples. The Sikh temple and langar hall was the highlight. Mathur was an informed guide.
It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the temple visits and found the Sikh temple and langar hall especially meaningful. Mathur’s knowledge clearly added depth to the experience. That highlight must have made the afternoon feel truly special.
