In the heart of Old Delhi, Chandni Chowk is a bustling shopping area with markets full of spices, and narrow side streets crowded with tiny shops selling essential oils, stationery, and traditional Indian sweets.
  • Red Fort - Then, you’ll explore the Red Fort from the outside. Since 70% of the building is occupied by the Indian Army, you’ll view it from the outside and take some pictures. The Red Fort is a historic fort in Delhi, India.

Amazing experience in New Delhi - We had the amazing Maninder show us around Delhi. We stopped by the India Gate, saw the red fort, took a rickshaw around Old Delhi, explored the tight streets with so many shops. Did some jewelry shopping, bought spices and tea, and a pashmina. Felt very safe with Maninder and he is the kindest guide. I highly recommend him for your trip around New Delhi.

Excellent guide. - Maninder is an excellent guide. He is dependable and very knowledgeable of both the city and India's history. He can take you anywhere in the old market, New Delhi, or plan an all-inclusive country-wide trip for you! Highly recommended. Steve B

A fine tour guide and company in Delhi - Marinder is an excellent guide. He and his driver took me around Delhi and I got a good feel for the city, though it was only a 1/2 day tour. It was part of a longer 4-day Taj Mahal trip from Cochi-Delhi-Agra-Delhi-Mumbai trip that he personalized. for my on short notice. All went as planned and he is reasonable with his pricing. I recommend Mariner and his agency Colours of Life Tour and Travels to tour Delhi and for other travel needs.

FANTASTIC Experience! - Maninder and his driver Manmohan handled every detail from meeting and picking us up from the airport to showing us the highlights of Old and New Delhi. I could not even begin to imagine what our trip would have been like without their guidance and suggestions. We felt safe and cared for at all times which allowed us to truly enjoy and learn about Delhi worry-free. We left Delhi after a few days feeling as if we made a life long friend.
