What a wonderful all day experience. Lucky the tour guide was extremely helpful in figuring out what we wanted to see, since it was our first time in Delhi. He’s a great listener, and he helped us narrow down all the places that were important to us, yet laid out all of the options. He told us exactly what to expect from every place, and it was very nice to have someone who is extremely knowledgeable about history of Delhi. Lucky was very attentive, patient and had great relationships with the staff at all the places we visited. We did not wait in any lines, and got into all the monuments and buildings promptly. Lucky speaks perfect English, and answered every single question that we had. All day he made great recommendations about restaurants, bakeries and all shopping. He made great recommendations of the menu, and even helped us order our food. He also was very in tune with our driver Vivek Because it seems like as soon as we were done with a certain Monument, Vivek was right there to pick us up to take us to our next stop. This was such an enjoyable, guided experience, and we are eternally grateful.
