Hidden gems and rich experience! - From first meeting Salman in the early morning until afternoon we were treated to a clear intro, and then a broad exposure to Old Dehli. His orientation to the city including the impressive metro public transportation system laid a great foundation for our whole stay in Dehli … then we set out to experience Old Dehli from the reality of street level and back alleys, shortcuts and even briefly an upper tier. All along the way we learned more fascinating history with a very personal touch! The stories and detail within the Old Dehli context was an extremely rich experience! Thank you!

Unseen Delhi - What a fantastic journey. Salman was a terrific guide, as he dove into personalized details of what life in Old Delhi was like. There was so much to see, hear, and smell. We walked deep into the neighborhoods of Old Delhi and even visited a training school deep between alleys and walkways. As we walked and sat we covered the history, language, and culture of Delhi and of India.

First time in Delhi - My first time in Delhi and Salman from Delhi by Locals was the most amazing tour guide. Such a personable young man and very knowledgeable. I would have no hesitation recommending Delhi by Locals to any group of travellers.

Wonderful experience! - I took a private Old Delhi tour with Salman on 6 April. Salman was the best guide I had in my 10 days in India. I learned a lot and he was fun to talk to -- I felt like I was meeting a new friend rather than taking a guided tour. Anyway, I highly recommend this company -- thanks so much for a great experience!

Highlight of our trip to India - two days with Delhi by Locals - What a fantastic experience. It really was a privlege to spend two days with Pradeep and Salman. Their local knowledge and storytelling alllowed us to see and experience Delhi in a way that I coudn't have ever envisaged. I can't thank them enough for the throught they put into making our trip so very special. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. I'd love to go back to Delhi again one day and spend some more time getting to know the wonderful people at Learning for Locals - it was an incredible moving experience. It was also really really FUN Salman's a local in Nisamuddin and we were captivated by the place. We had such an adventure of a lifetime. THANK YOU!

A rich experience in terms of history, culture, smells, sounds and views - A beautifully planned and incredibly thoughtful tour. We managed to see so much in three hours but it didn’t feel rushed. Our tour guide Pradeep is super knowledgeable about the city, it’s history and culture. This was such a varied experience from seeing and smelling spice market to walking narrow secret pathways to feeing a community at the temple.
