Highlights
  • Chandni Chowk - In the heart of Old Delhi, Chandni Chowk is a bustling commercial district teeming with markets that offer an array of spices, dried fruits, silver ornaments, and colorful saris. The compact alleyways are packed with small vendors peddling perfumed oils, stationery, and authentic Indian confections. In close proximity, the grandiose Red Fort from the Mughal period now functions as a museum complex, and the Jama Masjid, built in the 17th century, stands as a magnificent mosque crafted from red sandstone and featuring impressive minarets.
  • INA Market - The INA Market is a permanent fixture in Delhi’s shopping scene, distinct from the usual weekly bazaars. Situated in the bustling commercial hub of South Delhi, it’s renowned for its array of crafts and textiles.
  • Central Craft Cottage Industries - This expansive, established emporium showcases a variety of traditional Indian handicrafts and handwoven fabrics created by skilled local artisans.
  • Dariba Kalan - The name ‘Dariba Kalan’ is derived from the Persian phrase ‘Dur-e be-baha’, meaning ‘incomparable pearl’, with the addition of ‘Kalan’ signifying ‘large’. Adjacent to it was a smaller lane known as ‘Dariba Khurd’ or ‘Chhota Dariba’, with ‘Khurd’ and ‘Chhota’ translating to ‘small’. Today, this lane is called ‘Kinari Bazaar’. The area is historically recognized for its trade in gems and precious metals, particularly during the rule of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century, and it continues to be a renowned market for gold and silver jewelry.

Efficient shopping in Delhi if time poor - Excellent whizz around Delhi with Shehla was so much fun. She took all the hassle and stress out of shopping in Delhi. I had fabrics made into beautiful garments delivered to hotel same day. Amazing ! We enjoyed street food together and laughed. A delightful 4 hrs. Would definitely do this again 🇮🇳❤️🙏

Ideal for solo, adventurous female travelers! - I booked this tour as a solo female traveler from the U.S. It was my first time in India and in the continent of Asia. I'm actually not a big shopper and didn't have anything specific in mind. Really what I wanted was the experience - and the comfort of having a female guide to feel safe, be able to communicate, and avoid scammers, pickpockets, etc. Our tour includes lots of textiles (with 100% natural fabrics at reasonable prices - hard to come by these days!), rugs, jewelry, and street food tastings. (I am not an especially adventurous eater so I'm proud of myself for trying new things with Shehla's encouragement!) There was a specific tea I was looking for that my brother asked me to find, and Shehla brought me right to it. I tried on a saree, and I totally would have purchased one - if only I had an Indian wedding or special event to wear it to! LOL. (Related note- Shehla told me there is actually a website where you can sign up to be a guest at an Indian wedding - wow - what a fantastic business idea! LOL!) *Note that as a foreigner, everywhere I went I was *heavily* pressured/hounded to buy stuff. Shehla helped me in telling people who were a little too aggressive to back off... I appreciated Shehla's confidence in haggling and communicating directly with the sellers. She clearly knew exactly what she was doing. There is no way I could have navigated Chandni Chowk without her, and I never would have been brave enough to go on a tuk tuk if not with her! Shout out to my driver as well - seamless and comfortable navigation plus added history lessons! And the best part: Shehla took TONS of fantastic pictures of me so I have the whole thing documented! For those who travel alone - you know how priceless this is! 😊 Thank you Shehla!

Private Shopping Day in Delhi! - In March 2024 I had the pleasure of booking this private shopping experience in Delhi with Miss Shehla! About a week or two before my trip to Delhi, India when I booked this, she reached out to ask me what things were on my shopping wishlist. I was so grateful for this. It was thoughtful, so that day of, she knew ahead of time exactly what I was looking for so we could maximize our shopping time. I already had a list in mind & I sent it over to her. This list included sarees, juttis or shoes, art of a variety of mediums, spices, teas, scarves & jewelry. With Shehla’s expert help we found everything on my wishlist & more! Our total time together was about 6-7 hours & it was so much fun!! And it was only that long because I called it quits because I was too tired from a fun but long day of shopping hahaha! I was picked up from my hotel in a private car, with Shehla & also a private driver. Our first stop was at a business with multiple stories to their building with all kinds of textiles, art, goods & wares. It was here I bought the bulk of my treasures. From there we took a rickshaw into the Chandni Chowk district & it was a delight of the senses!! Shehla introduced me to a variety of delicious & safe street foods! Kachori, kulfi ice cream, jalebis, & samosas!! It was so much fun to shop with my friend, visit with & learn from each other & try & experience so many new things! This private shopping day with Shehla was one of the great highlights of my two weeks in India. I will cherish this day & my experience with her forever! I can’t recommend booking this experience enough! Shehla is wonderful!

Felt like shopping with a friend !! - I was on a trip to India and needed to do some wedding shopping but was kind of lost. I booked the shopping trip with Shehla and could'nt be happier with my decision. I texted and talked to her prior to the trip and gave her an idea of what my shopping needs were and sent her some pictures of things i wanted to buy. Shehla and Sahil picked me up promptly from the hotel at 10.00 AM . They were both very friendly and professional and we had great conversation on the way. We went to Chandni Chowk and she took me to shops I did not even notice but had the best collection. I bought several outfits for myself and my daughters. We visited several other stores and bought a bunch of trinkets / costume jewellary and other miscellaneous items. Shehla is very familiar with the area and knew exactly where to take me . I had an evening flight and was rushed but was amazed at the amount of shopping I did in a short period of time. I would highly recommend her if are not familiar with Delhi and want an authentic shopping experience .

Tailored perfectly to fit our wants & needs - Right from the start following my booking, Shehla was great about communicating in advance to learn more about what we wanted to see in our tour. My husband and I were in India to attend a wedding the following week and needed outfitting. Shehla knew exactly where to take us and gave us pointers. She had a great eye and caught onto what my personal style was very quickly. My husband was even able to get several custom tailored suits made and matching shoes! We loved the tour through Chandi Chowk as well along with the rickshaw rides. I was able to pick up jewelry (real and costume), a purse, and spices in the market. She also made sure we tried some fun street food and saw some other sights in Delhi like an old step well and a Sikh temple. Our driver (sorry I have forgotten his name) was wonderful as well and a huge wealth of historical information. If you’re thinking about this tour- just book it now, you won’t regret it!

Able to find what I wanted! - Excellent communication prior to actual shopping experience. Shehla customized the places we’d visit based on what I was looking for, I had sent some photos ahead of time as to what my style preferences were. I was able to find what I was looking for. The driver was courteous. Vehicle clean and cool.
