What a fabulous tour. The rickshaw drivers were super, so friendly and caring. Riti our guide was a font of knowledge. I’m still taking her advice on food now. We had young children in our group and they were so well catered for. We were 12-80 in age and all loved every second of our tour. We can’t wait to return to learn and experience more with you. Delhi you have my heart. Nicola - England.

This tour was an incredible journey through Old Delhi. On a rickshaw, they guided us through the narrow busy streets of shops. We visited the mosque, the Sikh temple where they feed 50,000 per day, and the spice market. The guide Naresh was knowledgeable and friendly and asked permission if we wanted to try the street food...which we did not. Riding on the rickshaw was the best and we appreciated the effort put in by the driver to get us through the streets safely. This was our first day in India and this tour was a wonderful introduction to the city and the people.

Ritu was the perfect guide for Old Delhi.She clearly knew the city well.Her level of historical knowledge was impressive and she took us to the best places,some hidden away. She is a gentle kind lady who appreciated the needs of the group. Our only suggestion to improve the tour would be to have a little more time walking in the very narrow streets of the bazaar,to shop a bit and admire the scenery.It felt unfair to the rickshaw drivers,who actually did an amazing job of negotiating.They must be so strong.

There are tours and then there are experiences. The Old Delhi tour with Ritu was an absolute experience. Every element of the tour was carefully curated to ensure that we did not have the "tourist" experience. Instead Ritu and her band of merry men took us on a trip that was exhilarating, exuberant and captivating. Ritu is a consummate professional and came prepared for the trip beyond our expectations. The booking process was seamless and Ritu made every effort to ensure that we had a positive experience from start to the end. She easily created engagement opportunities with the community so that we could partake in activities. This was done without the tourist trappings, making the whole experience a lot more enjoyable. When in India tours comes with my highest recommendation.
