We were lucky to find this tour and get it recommended to us by our hotel. Arjun was an expert driver who also made sure we had a nice and secure experience, helping us with evrything. We saw everything we wanted (qutab minar, lotus garden, humayun's tomb, indian gate, sikh temple and birla temple) with also a perfect restaurant for lunch! Highly recommended!
Our driver Gullu was amazing, very friendly and knowledgable. He gave us all the information we needed prior to attending temples and took us to a lovely local restaurant at the end of the day :)
Kamal was an excellent guide, really recommend the 8 hour tour in Delhi, great recommendations on food and shopping places.
Sanja is a great and awesome tour guide. He is patient and he will take you to the iconic places to see or visit. He gives you all the great advices you will need to make your visit and touring pleasant. What to do and what not to do. Highly recommend!! Namaste!!
The driver was attentive and very available. However, the places we were taken to did not meet our expectations. We expected more authenticity. I asked to go to the spice market and was taken to a store. The places were like “pre-chosen”
We get easily sightseeing reservation day before using Viator chat. Driver Arjun was in time 9am. He was cheerful and polite driving peacefully and fluently. Delhis traffic was more organized than in Mumbai. We passed Red Fort because have visited already Agra fort. Guide Ashwani Kapoor was living wikipedia with special knowledge. He speak English well (off course with Indian accent) and was calm. Even we non native English speaking understood most of it. It helps if you have read before basic history of Indias rulers. We have enough time visit other historic places without rush, take photos and videos. Only Lotus temple was more crowded. Even there long queue moved forward well in good discipline. More people also at Quite Minar, but not a queue. End of trip we visited governments supportive handcraft shop. Old Delhi was fascinating and I liked to be there half a day. All sightseeing went nice, fluently and trustfully without rush. I highly recommend, especially if You don't have more days to go around one way or another.
Had an amazing time in Delhi. Buhupie was very helpful and took us where we wanted. Good day out.
I had a great day going around Delhi and visiting all the monuments. Being a solo traveller and new to Delhi, I felt very comfortable touring the city and had a wholesome experience. Sanjay’s service was excellent and all the local food suggestions he gave me was amazing!
