A great experience where the guide took us to many different places, also places that were not mentioned under the tour description, but that he thought would be nice for us to see. Our guide Kaif was amazing, and definitely did his part to make this tour fantastic. Although we were technically clients, it did not feel as that, as Kaif was super welcoming and friendly, and willing to answer any of our many many questions. In general it was a great experience, and I can highly recommend it. It's a great way to get a sense of the city, without being overwhelmed by everything this beautiful chaotic city has to offer.

Isha is the first female tour guide whom I met during my stays in India. Her welcoming just melt down my worries about the Tuk tuk tour from the beginning. She is not only a really charming, nice and caring guide, but a great person to talk with. She made a super interesting and dynamic tour and personalized experience for me.

This was a fantastic trip. We saw things that we would not have seen had we been on a bigger trip. The visit to the Hindu feeding rooms were amazing. Our guide, Avez was amazing. He was so knowledgable and his English was exceptional. He also had the patience of a saint. I highly recommend him.

A must experience while in Delhi. The guides made sure we were safe right from the beginning. They challenged our reality of Delhi through galavants to hidden gems of the Old City and a superb local breakfast spot.

Had the most amazing tour! Kaif was exceptional, giving me so much information, would highly recommend this tour!!!
