Awesome food tour!
I have had a wonderful time on the food tour with Vijay! He picked us up at a central location in Delhi and leaded us perfectly to old Delhi where the tour started.
He has a vast amount of knowledge about the area and the Indian food culture which he shared throughout the day. We tried all different kinds of tasty Indian dishes and created an extremely lovely atmosphere. He was not just a tour guide but became a good friend in just a few hours. He was super friendly and even helped us with booking a train ticket to Agra.
I can full heartedly recommend him for the tours he provides! Additional don’t be scared about the few reviews he has, he has been providing tours in New Delhi for more than a decade and knows all the best and safe spots for tourists!

insight into life in an informal settlement in India
I’m working on a documentary photography project exploring different ways of living and cultures, so this tour was a perfect fit for me and gave me valuable insight into life in an informal settlement in India.
Vijay is an excellent guide. Being local, he knows the area and community extremely well and helped me access places and take the photographs I needed safely and respectfully.
Highly recommended for anyone wanting to understand Indian society beyond the usual tourist landmarks.
