I had a private tour of Old Delhi with Padreep. The tour was very well organised and I had the chance to see corners of the city that I would have never found on my own. He explained everything clearly and took me to the temple where I also had the chance to help preparing the meals for the community. We went to a local place where I had the best tea ever! And we also visited the colourful markets.
I surely recommend this tour!

Delhi by local was recommended by my friend who had used it previously.
It was very easy to connect (Pradeep was so friendly And personally visited us before our tour).
I could customize my tour and it was easy to make updates to it.

Salman was an amazing guide! He had so much enthusiasm for Old Delhi and for sharing all his fantastic knowledge about the history, culture, people and architecture. His knowledge of all the religious history was particularly impressive. It was like being out for a morning with an old friend around his home town and I can’t recommend this tour enough!!

We took the walk around Hazrat Nizamuddin Basti with Salman. He was so knowledgable, and interesting with it - not just reeling off facts and figures which would go over our heads, but making the stories relatable, and memorable. The area can get very crowded and he looked out for us, including my kids, with care and attention. A really worthwhile afternoon

Pradeepa and Salman were amazing guides. They confidently and seamlessly navigated us through Old Delhi to a selection of excellent food, chaotic and bustling markets, and fascinating historical sites. They took the time to teach us about Delhi's history and answer our questions. A highlight was touring the kitchen of thr Sikh temple where thousands of meals are prepared daily by volunteers. As an expat here in Delhi, I will recommend these guys to all my friends and family who visit.

This tour was so amazing and personal. Salaman was our tour guide. He was exceptionally knowledgeable and very friendly. It was a fun and safe way to visit Old Delhi. There was so much to experience from the spice market, the rickshaw ride, the wedding market, the mosque, the tunnels underground, the back streets, the upper floors above the shops, and helping to make food at the Sikh and bringing inside the Sikh. Can’t say enough great things about this tour. It was a perfect way to end our stay in India. 1000% would recommend.

Brilliant, highly recommend this tour, well planned, insightful and varied itinerary. A must do in Delhi.
Pradeep was a friendly and welcoming guide, we felt really looked after. Without this tour we would have missed so much of what Old Delhi is really about.

We enjoyed an excellent afternoon tour in Old Delhi with Salman. He is a very kind guide who has a great knowledge about Delhi area. The visit with him was fascinating and we learned so much on the real life of people living or working in this crowded neighborhood.

Private afternoon tour?
I am looking to arrange a half day tour in Delhi, on the 29th March for 2 people. We would like the tour to be an afternoon tour. We would like to visit the Humayun's Tomb and the Qutub Minar, with a photo stop at Rajpath, India Gate and Rashtrapati Bhaven. We would like to be collected from the Hotel Florence and then dropped back to the Hotel Florence after the tour has been finished. Is this something you could organise?
Thanks, Mikaela
