See a lot of Delhi in a day! - Set out in Old Delhi with Balkar, my driver. How he maneuvered through the chaos is beyond me. A foreigner should never attempt to drive here!! Picked up Gautam, our guide, and started our adventure. I could not print my ticket and did not have list of things we were supposed to see. Guys not sure either, we did go to many sights and Gautam did a great job of explaining the history. When I got to my room and checked we did not go in 4 of the important places on the tour,wish we had, but we did go see 4 other things. Probably not worth the admission extra I paid because of that, but the guide paid for anything that did have a fee, and we had a long time in the market walking, and took 3 rickshaw rides to get places. Great restaurant for lunch.
Even though it was not what I paid for I had never seen anything in Delhi so it was all interesting! Both men did a good job of showing me the city.

Absolutely fantastic experience! - I've been very pleasant to take the tour to Old/New Delhi with mr Prashant.
He is extremely knowledgeable about history and the city places, making the tour a breeze.
He and mr Suresh were very flexible, we haven't missed anything from what we wanted to visit during the tour.
Not only I spent a day with a great company, but also learned a lot about the monuments and heritage of the past in Delhi.
Thank you very much, perfect team!

A must do trip to experience a broad range of sights in a single day. - We were on a flying visit to Delhi and wanted to see as much as possible. We were driven around by Mr Thakur who negotiated the exciting traffic expertly and made the whole trip easy by dropping us off and collecting us throughout the day at the various points of interest. Our guide Mr Shobjit Singh is a font of knowledge about each place on the itinerary and made the whole experience interesting and fun.

Amazing Intro to Delhi! - Had a fantastic day with Rumy covering the main sights in Delhi. He offers great info about the places and has a very friendly treatment. We went to places in Old and New Delhi, having some local experiences and visiting places I’d never find exploring this city on my own.
