Beautiful Holi Experience - Beautiful Holi Experience It was awesome to celebrate Holi with a beautiful local family - Roopak & Nidhi and their 2 adult children. They offered a lot of snacks pre-celebration, including the best masala Chai I've had during my travels in India. Everything was well-organized and they provided a lot of fun & useful information. They welcomed us to their home as if we were family and the community we celebrated with was also very welcoming. I recommend this colorful experience with Roopak & Nidhi.

Holi Festival with Roopak’s family - This was a wonderful Experience with Roopak's family and a big community on Holi Festival. This was a complete colour riot and the food was amazing with plenty of options. I also got to learn about the Festival in a fun Quiz from the Host. My colored clothes are now my most prized Souvenirs from India. I enjoyed the Experience thoroughly and highly recommend it to Guests visiting Delhi in March.

A Lovely experience - This was such a fun experience with Roopak & Nidhi at their home in Delhi. I got to eat lot of snacks and sweets besides playing Holi with several international Guests and local community on the Festival day. Roopak was super excellent in communicating with me immediately after I had made the Booking and answered all my questions. As a female solo traveler, I felt very safe with the family during the celebrations. The Experience ended with a delicious Lunch together with Gulab Jamun - my favourite Indian dessert. I highly recommend taking this Holi Experience since it is organsied by Roopak & his family at their very home giving the Experience a personal touch of Indian hospitality. 10/10.

Friendly, welcoming, unique! I met a guy from Singapur and a couple from Japan together with Roopaks Family! - This activity was actually for Diwali - Not Holi! However it was recommended to me by a friend that visited Roopaks place two days before me. We had a pleasant time and the family was very welcoming. The place is neat, original and has a good vibe to experience a real local feeling. The instructions of coming there were plenty and clear, also providing us with WiFi and such. If you want to get to know more about Diwali, you came to the right place. And i am sure, if i'd be around in Dehli for Holi, i come again :-)

One of a Lifetime’s Experience! - An amazing Tour enjoying with the locals the biggest festival of India - Holi will always remain in my memory as my best experience in India. Roopak was super kind & warm making the Tour so much enjoyable & fun. I had enough of sweets & snacks during the Tour apart from a delicious lunch. I found that the price is very reasonable compared to other such Tours in Delhi. Highly recommended for Guests travelling to India in March.
