Full Day Delhi Sightseeing Tour by Public Transport

This was a fantastic experience and the guide was very efficient, friendly and kind. I would recommend this experience to everyone; Delhi is well worth seeing.

Kavita was a great tour guide! She is so friendly, knowledgeable and fun to hang out with. We went to a lot of interesting places around Delhi. It is great to go by public transport to get a more in depth experience of the city.

A really fun and fascinating day out with Tavrej who was a fantastic tour guide. We did a ride on the metro and a short ride on a local bus. It was fun to experience these but for most of the rest of the day, we got around by walking or tuktuk. We hit a lot of the major sites in or near New Delhi, including Humayun’s tomb and other tombs nearby in the complex, plus a stepwell, the India Gate, Khan market, a traditional laundry business, a major Sikh Gurudwara (with visit to kitchens) and the Gandhi house/museum/martyrdom site. Lunch was at a casual restaurant in Khan market - very good. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to get to know Delhi and who doesn’t mind walking a bit (though note that we did not cover Old Delhi/Red Fort). I have done several tours by this company (Reality Tours and Travel) and they are all great - no tourist traps, no push to buy anything.

Very enthusiastic and care taking of my interests (photography, „looking behind the curtains“). Also not just walking through the points, but flexible in time and places to see. Did also the street art tour with him, with a lot of time for diving into. Great Great Great! Thanks a lot!

Discovering Slum and the street foods from our guide was super fun and exciting. I recommend Reality Tours tours in Delhi

Naresh was a well-informed guide who gave us time to explore the sights at our own pace. We learned a lot about Indian and particularly Delhi culture. He also recommended a very good restaurant for lunch. Finally he helped us with finding a Sim-card for us.

Fantastic tour around Delhi to some sights I would have never found or been confident to get too. Great way to get confidence with local transport including the metro and tuk tuk. Our guide Sam was exceptional and very knowledgeable. This tour is a must for anyone visiting Delhi.

There are a lot of sites to see in Delhi. With limited time we decided the best way to see and learn about as many sites as possible was to book a guide. I had read about this well established tour company and the good work they do in the Lonely Planet guide, therefore decided to book a one day customised tour. Our guide was Sam and he did a fantastic job of taking us to a diverse range of places and keeping us safe. Although we could have done many of the sites alone, Delhi is an extremely busy city and having Sam with us allowed us to use the time most efficiently. We also benefited from Sam’s local knowledge of history, culture and religion. If you are in Delhi then I recommend you book a tour with this company as it will make site seeing far less stressful, you will learn lots and will likely enable you to see more.

Our first day in Delhi started of very good. To get to know this busy and huge city, I would certainly recommend doing a tour. And not any kind of tour, reality tours & travels offer kind guides, great places to visit, to get to know the culture, the different religion and they explain how this city with that many people can even work out. The profits go to their NGO, so by booking a tour with them, you help many more people than yourself. Would highly recommend!!

Reality Tours and Travel was recommended to us by our neighbours who have done various India tours with them 7 or 8 times over the years and have developed a strong friendship with the founder of the company, Krishna Pujari. My wife, I and a friend were incredibly lucky to actually have Krishna himself as our guide for 3 sublime weeks. India had never featured on our radar as a travel destination previously. It's a huge country of 1.3 billion people. It seemed so daunting. Delhi is a heaving cauldron of masses of people, rickshaws, scooters, motorbikes, cars...and don't forget the cows wandering through the mayhem. You can, of course, plan your own India trip and negotiate your own travel arrangements but it is just so much easier to use Reality Tours guides and simply relax knowing that your valuable time is spent enjoying the sights instead of frustrating yourself with directions and how to get from one place to another. I don't enjoy haggling with rickshaw, taxi drivers and shopkeepers. Time is too precious. Reality Tours guides take the hassle out of India travel. They know the cities. They know the sights. They know the routes. They know the fares. They also know the value of anything you might want to purchase from street traders and shops and will ensure you're not ripped off. For 3 wonderful weeks Krishna guided us first through Delhi, then onto Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Jaipur and Agra and then onto Kathmandu, Chitwan and Pokhara in Nepal. Nepal didn't do it for us and we wished we'd spent that week instead seeing more of India. It's hard to describe just how invigorating India is: the vibrant colours, the noise, the mayhem, the beauty...and the people. What became so evident during our tour is that India's people, being majority Hindu, are gentle and quite special. Because of their Hindu roots, crime is not an issue in India. We never once felt threatened, unsafe or uncomfortable. Krishna was not the only guide on our tour. Parts of our tour were joined by other Reality Tours guides either for training purposes or to introduce us to other guides who had a more in depth knowledge of a particular area. All these guides were fabulous and we' developed friendships with some like Raj who we hope to see again. We were told that we'd inevitably get "Delhi-belly" travelling India for 3 weeks. We were well-stocked with anti diarrhoea tabs...which we never got to use. Cautioned by our guides against drinking anything other than bottled water or carbonated drinks and raw foods that might have been washed in dodgy water, all of us enjoyed the fabulous foods of India without any issues. What a pleasure to wander the crazy markets and backroads and stop to marvel at street food cooked on massive cauldrons and pans and then have our guide purchase the delights for us to sample over and over again in each new exciting destination. Where we'd normally be hesitant in trying the street-food, Krishna made it a joy. Travel in cities was a mix of rickshaws, taxi and metro. All of the uncertainty is removed. We simply followed our guides. Between cities transport was a mix of train, plane (to and from Nepal) and car...all arranged and paid for by our guides as part of the tour price. Accommodation was a mix of budget and fancy hotels, home stays and lodges - all very comfortable and charming. I could write a book extolling the virtues of Reality Tours & Travel. Highlights? The vibrancy The street-food Wandering the streets soaking up the atmosphere The Delhi slum tour Cooking class in Udaipur with Shashi Watching the latest Bollywood blockbuster movie in perhaps the best cinema in the world The home-stays The occasional evening meals shared by visiting a local family The extraordinary forts The amazing temples Reality Tours guides...with whom you will inevitably develop lasting friendships If we'd visited India independently I feel sure we would have been daunted, frustrated and overwhelmed. With your hand held by Reality Tours & Travel guides it's impossible to come away from India without a deep understanding of the people, the history, the culture, the food and Hinduism. We've had the very good fortune to have travelled all of Europe, holidayed in Mexico, lived in Australia, South Africa, Canada and France...yet India has absolutely captivated us...so much so that we're already planning our next trip with Reality Tours. Thank you Krishna, our friend....and thank you Raj.
