Great food experience - It was a great experience because the tour allowed you to go to restaurants and street food sellers you never would have attended being on your own. Being collected by a driver at your hotel was also very convenient. You got also a very good impression of Old Delhi.

Flavours of India - We had a wonderful introduction to Delhi street food on our first evening there. Had we not booked the tour I don’t think we would have tried half of the food that we were given. The atmosphere of the streets were amazing, noise, colour, smells of cooking food. I personally would not have liked to have tried to have done this tour on my own so having a guide was essential. Our guide was really friendly, gave us interesting facts and constantly kept up safe.
