My spouse and I took a tour of Old Delhi and Amer was our guide. We're very glad we took this tour and encountered the kaleidoscope of Old Delhi: the people, animals, rickshaws, scooters, spices, and all array of other products. Two drivers did the pedaling. One "drove" Amer and the other drove us. They were alert, patient and provided us with everything, everywhere, we needed, like water, face masks, and various other items throughout the tour. We were impressed with their ability to patiently and efficiently maneuver through Old Delhi's crowded alleyways. Amer was a wonderful guide for us. He put us at ease and educated us while feeling like a friend who was showing us around. He answered all of our questions gently and thoroughly, and we saw many things in a short time without ever feeling rushed in any way. No doubt all of his customers find Amer to be a great guide! Top notch tour, Highly recommend!

My husband and I had a wonderful time seeing Old Delhi by Rickshaw. Down the narrow streets; street food; spice market (definitely wear the mask that is offered as the spices get up your nose) (don’t close your eyes for a second); temples and palaces. The guide was very informative. The driver was very attentive. Very Highly recommended. Many many thanks Jackie and Chris Pearson.

We had a magical tour of Old Delhi by Neil. He was very approachable, friendly, a great listener, and every turn we took, he provided context that educated us. Truly a fantastic time. I strongly urge people to try this tour!

On our first day in Delhi we went on the most fantastic Rickshaw tour of Old Delhi. Our guide Ahmer, was very interesting and very well informed. We packed a huge amount in considering the time, and our driver was very patient and hard working. We would recommend this to everyone.

This was a truly memorable experience and a highlight of our time in India. I highly recommend this tour. Don't miss it. Neil was our guide, and he was one of the best tour guides on our trip. The rickshaw drivers are incredible. You go all over through back alleys and bazaars, and see things you would otherwise likely miss. There is a great headset system to hear the guide clearly, which was a huge help. The rickshaws are very comfortable. We stopped several times for tours of major sites. The Sikh Temple was very moving. You get to see them cooking food and serving the public. We also stopped for Indian street food, and watched it being prepared for us! You couldn't ask for more on a tour like this.
