Best 13 Hour Layover - On my return trip from Sri Lanka back to the states I had a 13 hour layover in Delhi, which obviously meant I had to book one noteworthy tour that made the most of my $10 India visa…and this one exceeded expectations. Not only were the food selections delicious, varied, and representative of the cuisine, but they were also sourced from family institutions that were established around a century ago. The best part however was my guide, Chef Aditya Shahi—request him if you can. As a formerly trained chef, he knew every recipe down to each specific spice, and could predict what flavor I should expect in each bite. He guided me through the beauty of thali and appreciating the differences between eating foods individually and in concert. All the while, he was so personable and fun and made great company for a solo traveler like myself :) And most importantly…I was STUFFED, both in the tummy and with food knowledge by the time I made it back to the airport.

Deliciously Delightful: A Culinary Adventure with Chef Adi - I had an amazing experience on our private food tour, especially with Chef Adi leading the way! His expertise added a unique depth to the tour, and his passion for food was infectious. We got to taste a wide variety of delicious dishes, each stop feeling like a culinary adventure. The pacing was perfect, allowing us to fully appreciate each dish without feeling rushed. Overall, it was a fantastic way to explore the local cuisine, and I can't wait to do it again!

Fantastic Experience - My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our food tour with Chef Adi. He was very knowledgeable about the way that the various spices/flavors work together, and we learned so much about the food of Old Delhi. Both my wife (who is an amazing cook) and I (who can't cook to save my life) had a wonderful time, and we both agree that we hope all future food tours we take are similar to this one. 10/10, would definitely recommend.

This is a very inactive, flavorful tour. Great guide, great food, lots of options yo learn more about the food and the culture. - We thoroughly enjoyed the street food tour. We went to many different stalls and had a variety of food from light to heavy, sweet to spicy, and everything in between. Our guide, Dave, was a former chef, so his knowledge of food was extensive. He knew his way around old Delhi and knew the vendors who were making the food. A word of advice: Don't have breakfast or have a very light breakfast, before you go. There was so much to taste and the tastes were often snack sized, so we were stuffed. The driver was also professional and efficient. Our guide and driver worked as a team, so we weren't spending time waiting around. The price was more than we paid for some other tours, but it was worth it. The value was there due to the quality of the tour and the guide.

A foodie must do - We did this tour on our last day in India and wish we had done it earlier because we learnt so much about Indian food and how to eat it . We had a knowledgeable chef with us that made all the difference. He guided us through the streets giving us history as we went from stop to stop. The variety of what we ate was amazing. Highly recommend . A must for food lovers

Great first day in Delhi, excellent food with a charming guide. - We booked an old town food tour very last minute on our first day in Delhi. Adi was an excellent tour guide and reassuringly understood that although we were willing to be adventurous, we were also slightly anxious about deli belly. This was a great way to be introduced to a new city with such a strong culture. The food we ate was absolutely delicious and I would strongly recommend the tour. Thanks
