    While Nivi was an outstanding guide, I feel that the description of this tour was somewhat misleading. It really is just a shopping experience on one very busy street. Opportunity to buy goods in stores and from street vendors. Having said that, Nivi was extremely generous with her knowledge, and in answering our peculiar questions, we learnt a great deal.

    My favorite tour on my trip to India. Nivi was a great guide. She made it informative as well as fun. I felt like it was a tour with a friend, not a guide. Our driver was fantastic too. Not only did he do the tour with us, and be the bag carrier for my shopping, he went out his way to take me to a shop to make a special purpose.. I would recommend 5 Senses Tour to anyone.
