The best!!! very good.Experience inolvidable
The guided tour of Old Delhi was unique for understanding the cultural mosaic that this area of the city houses. Sid was very clear in his explanations and very kind at all times. It was a pleasure to learn about your country and get to know the various sites in your company.
Muchas gracias por la reseña tan interesante ✨ me alegra mucho!!!
It was a very beautiful experience, with his explanations and his passion for the city
Mil gracias por tu reseña tan estupenda!!!
Although the guide was generally friendly and the overall experience was good, I feel that in this particular aspect, the guide did not provide a good service. I am sure that some of the places he took me to, especially the spice shops and the bazaar, had prices considerably higher than the usual ones. In fact, I ended up paying approximately three times the actual price. Since it was my first time in India, I was not familiar with the local prices and therefore did not realize the difference at the time. I believe that a good guide should also provide guidance in this regard and take tourists to places with reasonable prices, or at least warn them when prices are significantly inflated. For this reason, this aspect directly affected my rating. I recommend that other travelers be very careful and compare prices before making any purchases, especially at the spice shops and bazaars that guides take tourists to.
Thank you for your feedback. I am glad you enjoyed the overall experience. However, i would like to clarify that the shops and markets are independent businesses, and purchases are completely optional. Prices can vary, and we always encourage guests to compare and negotiate before buying. I am sorry you felt you paid more than expected, and I will take your feedback into consideration for future guests.
I recommend this guided excursion with Sid. He is a kind and attentive guy. He explained many aspects of Delhi to us that we were unaware of and that are not read in travel guides. This guided excursion has provided us with new knowledge about the diversity of cultures and customs that coexist in harmony in Delhi. He accompanied us and advised us on our purchases. With Sid's help, you can buy local items at a fair price and with the certainty that it is authentic and of quality. We bought spices and a 100% merino wool pashmina that I love.
Muchas gracias por tis palabras tan bonitas 😇 me alegra que hayas disfrutado un montón.
Yesterday we were touring old Delhi with Sid and we were impressed, not only by the places we visited but also by the knowledge of this guide who also speaks perfect Spanish and tells fascinating stories and curious and interesting facts. We liked everything so much that just last night (12 hours after having been there with Sid) we went back, at dawn (2 am) and thanks to the advice we had received from Sid we were able to immerse ourselves in the culture of this temple and its worshippers, without risk, we sat for an hour, enjoying the music, the meditation, the flowers. It was truly exciting and thanks to Sid's advice we were able to do everything safely, without disrespecting anyone. It was spectacular, we recommend Sid because he is a great guide, he is young, passionate, and studies a lot. Very professional.

We have enjoyed the tour very much. Siddhant, the guide, was fantastic and very attentive, and he explained everything to us perfectly. He explained a lot of super interesting things to us about the history, culture, and the different religions that coexist in Delhi. He also took us to eat delicious typical food. We went into several temples that, without Sid, we probably wouldn't have dared to enter. We felt super comfortable at all times!
¡Muchas gracias por vuestras preciosas palabras! ❤️ Ha sido un placer compartir con vosotros la magia de Old Delhi.
A great morning with Sid, a very nice guy, and we learned so, so much from him. It's a good thing we booked the tour because otherwise it would have just been seeing buildings from the outside. 100% recommended
