Best way to experience Delhi - Wonderful experience and a MUST if you are visiting Delhi. Let me start by saying that traveling alone as a woman had me intimidated, but my driver Mr Omkar and my guide Sunil Kumar Podder made me feel completely safe and comfortable. The driver was always ready with cold bottled water and a cool car when we came from the different temples. My guide Sunil was extremely knowledgeable and funny. He knew about the different religions and allowed me to ask many questions, and sit to meditate for as long as I wanted. He was even able to take me inside the Sikh temple kitchens where I could see the food being prepared. He knew so much and seemed to know people everywhere we went. He helped me with navigating around the crowds and made lunch seem like a very fun and cultural event. He even tried to talk me through how to make the perfect curry! This was the best way I could have possibly spent my day in Delhi. Thank you Sunil and Omkar for a very positive memorable experience! Namaste

Fantastic Delhi city trip! Lots of fun and amazing temples to see! Must do trip! - Booked the private tour of the temples in Delhi for two people through Viator and could not have been happier! Our driver Raj picked us up in the morning and was very flexible when we asked for a couple more minutes to finish breakfast or when at the end of the day we wanted to get some snacks on the way back to our hotel although it was fairly late! Our tour guide Sunil was very knowledgeable about all the history of the city and flexible in helping us out on our first day in Delhi as needed ATMs, phone cards, sarees and more! The tour was great! We saw many amazing temples, such as the Sikh temple where they cook food for thousands of people! It was fascinating to see all the cooking equipment and we could join for some bread baking! Super fun and fascinating day!

Comfortable and Interesting - I really wanted to go and see two of the three temples included in this tour (Lotus and Akshardham) but since my time in Delhi was short, I was nervous about having to figure out a way of getting around by myself, ensuring I experienced both to the best of my ability so I chose this tour. The driver Sanju was great. He arrived promptly at 9am, and was very friendly. He had great conversation and was very humorous. The car was very comfortable and clean and had free and reliable WiFi. We met up with the guide Hidesh at the first temple (I do hope I have spelt that correctly), and he was very informative and professional. Due to the tour being on a Sunday, we were able to easily navigate from one temple to another and even finished the tour early, having a late lunch (included) at a fabulous restaurant. Communication prior to the tour was also excellent - I received a WhatsApp Message confirming the tour and pickup time. I would highly recommend this tour, and felt completely safe as a solo female traveller. Many thanks! :)

Absolutely wonderful time I... - <p>Absolutely wonderful time I definitely recommend trip around Temples for anyone to get know New Delhi from different side. Rariyadan, who was my guide was amazing very knowledgeable and perfect English! He scheduled trip the way we avoided long lines and waiting. With crazy driving in Delhi and distance between sites I would never be able to do it by myself. Rocky the driver beat the traffic, which helped a lot :- With them both I felt very safe and well looked after, what was crucial for me.</p>

Informative, convenient - Very interesting to visit, experience, and learn about the different culture, sites / sights, and religious traditions. Well-organized logistics. Would be helpful to understand at the beginning who is involved in providing the tour (driver, guide, coordinator, etc.), and what exactly the agenda is for the day. Also did not know it is literally just one party of guests with the tour guide and driver. A dedicated service. Can be somewhat unusual given the possessions you may have and having to wait for the car with possessions in there. And can be odd to determine how, what, and if to provide a tip. Could be made more comfortable and less awkward. Overall though, tour was extremely informative, a lot of great knowledge and content. Better sense of the timing of the day would be helpful for pacing and knowing how much time to spend at each place, including for shopping. Additional context or guidance on the shopping area would be helpful. Very dedicated and helpful tour guide service, highly convenient to visit some interesting sites with rich culture. Just also note the somewhat peculiar set-up to be aware of as the only guest. Otherwise, the tour was overall effective in what the description indicated.
