Excellent Experience - It was five of us and Tariq was wonderful. Very polite, nice driving, accommodating and he stayed longer. Also, he took us to great places to purchase spices, clothes and drove us to a nice restaurant at the end.

Old Delhi Experience! - Walking through Old Delhi is certainly amazing, hustle and bustle, so much to buy, food, dresses, shoes, everything! Spice Market smells amazing, tuk tuks, motorbikes, and people squeezing into the tiny alleyways. This is an experience we will certainly remember!

Incredible experience of Old Delhi! - Just had to write a review about our amazing day out on the tour of Old Delhi with Tariq. From the get go he was really friendly and talkative, giving us all the information on the sites and places we visited on the tour, alongside making our group of 3 girls feel super safe walking around old Delhi for the day. We couldn’t have had the experience we did without him, he took us to streets, shops, religious sites and food stalls that we never would have known to go to. He went above and beyond for our trip, even taking many photos of us throughout. I would recommend this to everyone!

10/10 recommend - I had a fantastic time in the tour with Tariq and honestly don’t know how we could have explored old Delhi without him. We were taken to three religious sites, ate amazing food, explored the spice market and small alleys. Tariq was generous, funny, and receptive to our interests of what we wanted to see. I would HIGHLY recommend!!

The delhi experience with trip advisor - Adeel was My guide foe the tour. I was a bit late and he was kind enough to adjust for that. Once we affected rendezvous, he gave me a detailed insight in the general history of the red fort , mughals, bazaars etc and then we dived into the Meena baazar. Soon we reached jama masjid which was fun. Then we exited the mosque to move to kinnara bazaar. There adeel took me to the best kachori wala, Parathas and other delicacies. The next stop was balli maran where we also saw galib's haveli. Navigating the busy streets and munching local delicacies, all paid by adeel BTW, we landed at Meena bazaar. There we spent good time, shopped for some premium dates, condiments and sweets of famous chena ram( much better than haldi ram). Impressions: the guide Mr adeel wasi has a bachelor's degree in hospitality and tourism (hop I got it right) from TISS. he is also pursuing masters or at lest planning to do so from same college. And u like most guides, he has chosen this as this is his passion. And that is evident from the vast knowledge base , good connect with the tourist, ingenuity and no frills professional attitude. Recommendation. The trip is very well organised , well thought and carefully curated with a good guide. Most recommended.

Great tour that I would recommend to anyone! - Tariq was an excellent tour guide providing exceptional service. He picked us up in a clean car that was very comfortable for the driving around Old Delhi and had plenty to share with us about the city as we were driving around. I really appreciated his knowledge and willingness to cater the tour to what we needed.

Guide Tariq gave a... - Guide Tariq gave a comprehensive, informative tour of Old Delhi--a real crash-course in India for a recently arrived tourist. We explored Jain and Sikh temples and rode tuk tuks and rickshaws, with Tariq deftly navigating the crowded streets; it was exhilarating and overwhelming in a good way. Note: tour includes only a glimpse of the Red Fort, not entry to the full site.
