Harsh was a fantastic guide, really really enjoyed my tour. Keep in mind a lot of the monuments are closed on Mondays, so try to go on a different day if you can, but I went on a Monday and still had a wonderful day. I particularly liked driving through Old Delhi on a tuk tuk, it felt like a really safe way to get to see that part of the city

Suraj was punctual , polite and helpful . I had listed what I wanted to see in Delhi and we were able to do nearly all of it . He was very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and I appreciated being able to listen and learn . He went beyond the call of duty , running back to the car with my torch which did not pass a security check .

sanjay is a very good German-speaking guide. He responded to all of our requests and was very competent. He told us a lot of insider information about Idien. Very friendly, we can recommend him very well

Vishva was my tour guide and he was amazing plus he speaks Spanish so that really helps. The tour included all I was expecting. I’ll definitely recommend this tour and the guide

The tour was very good. The guide VP Singh showed us around the city and old city as well. I highly recommend the tour to anyone who doesn’t know what to do coming to Delhi.
