Loved being led through the twists and turns of the old Delhi streets on various transportation. Along with unique foods we learned some of the history and culture from a quality local. Grab some friends, take the metro and enjoy the sights and sounds of Old Delhi.

Would highly recommend. Varun provided detailed and thorough anecdotes throughout and along the way addressed our group’s particular questions with care. There is no way we would have been able to experience anything close to what we experienced if we had planned it ourselves. We passed several other tour groups on our way and several of them followed us to the food spots because they saw how professional our guide was. When you go, wear your walking shoes and be ready to move quickly so you can get the full experience!

It was a freezing cold Delhi day today! I was not sure of taking a walking tour - but how wrong was I! Wonderful early morning trip was in store for us. Varun's ease and jovial manner not only put us at ease but our two children couldn't wait to be questioned and have their curiosity beckoned! Old Delhi is a very complex, myriad and small lane structured area. It is highly advisable to walk with a person who is knowledgeable and would advise on where to go for the surprisingly delicious treats! It was a privilege to walk through these lanes of history and savouring the delights of places which are family owned for decades. Thank you to Varun & Dhruv for organising this for us. And we would highly recommend this tour to anyone who may be interested in exploring Old Delhi.

I did this tour on my first morning after arriving in India, and it was the best possible way to start the trip! Dhruv guided me around Old Delhi like he was my “big brother” for the day (as he put it!). We visited a local Hindu temple and mosque, ate at trusted street food vendors (can confirm, no tummy issues afterwards), took a rickshaw ride and chatted to local business owners, finishing with a home-cooked meal at his family home. Dhruv knows everyone around the place, so he takes you under his wing. By the end, you really get a sense of the amazing community in old Delhi. I was a bit nervous before the trip about travelling solo as a female, but Dhruv made me feel right at ease. I highly recommend this tour to anyone! :D

Had an amazing time with Raj as our guide who filled us in on so many interesting stories and facts and took lovely photos is us with his camera. I never felt rushed or unsafe in Old Delhi. It’s such a mesmerizing place, filled with people on their daily tasks and journeys. We tried delicious snacks and also chai tea; and topped it off at a lovely Haveli home where we experienced the kind hospitality of the host and a delicious home cooked meal. The time few by so quickly.

What a wonderful experience. Our tour guide Varun was amazing at explaining Old Delhi’s history and showing us around, we would have never been able to view Delhi in such a way on our own. And the different foods we got to try were delicious. Such a fun day, would 100% recommend!

Very good tour with Varun guiding us around Old Delhi. A most amazing place - the life of a city out on the streets and laneways. A must see. It is a test of all your senses. Varun took us places that you would never go - culminating in a meal in a haveli. The only way to experience Old Delhi.

Varun is a great story teller n has a wicked sense of humour. Old Delhi is not something anyone should do on their own on the first time so getting a guide like Varun is essential!

Wow! Possibly the best tour I have EVER been on. Very rarely in life are my expectations exceeded as much as our amazing day with Varun were. We felt honoured to be shown the real sights of Delhi from a local who not only knows but loves his city. The history was fascinating, the food was out of this world and we felt completely looked after the whole day. This is more than a tour, it’s a sensory experience that will take you straight into the heart of India, and make you fall in love. Special thanks to Varun for being such a wonderful, knowledgable, kind and welcoming host, we won’t forget you!
