    Great food tour. We were able to sample lots of different food and drinks. Our guide was excellent and guided us round a very busy part of Delhi really well!

    Had a fantastic time walking around Chandni Chowk with my guide, Aditya. I was the only one who booked this particular day so I got a wonderful private tour. All the food was delicious! I only had one free day on a weeklong business trip to India, and this was the only "non-work" activity that I had time for. I'm so glad that I prioritized this tour!

    I spent a wonderful afternoon with my guide Neha exploring the markets in old Dehli. It would have been daunting to navigate the hustle and bustle of the markets on my own. Neha provided background history of the area and answered questions about food and customs. We walked and used rickshaws and the “street” foods were delicious! I highly recommend this tour.

    A wonderful personalised tour tasting some incredible authentic and traditional foods with fascinating commentary by our accompanying chef Aditya. A wonderful way to experience and get to know Old Delhi as we also got to do a rickshaw ride and visit the spice market.

    My goodness me what a feast and delight! We’d only been in India for 24 hours when our holiday licked off with this tour, we had travelled with trail finders who had added this event to our itinerary. Virat was our tour guide for the evening. We didn’t know what we’d paid as was included in our overall cost but looking at this on TA think was worth every penny. Go hungry and embrace the culture of a truly magnificent city. Bring picky a few too many stops and perhaps for me personally I’d have opted for more savoury option. Virat was so well informed and enthusiastic it was a pleasure to be guided by him and only hope my never ending stream of questions hasn’t put him of the Brits!!

    It was a great experience because the tour allowed you to go to restaurants and street food sellers you never would have attended being on your own.
    Being collected by a driver at your hotel was also very convenient. You got also a very good impression of Old Delhi.

    My wife and I booked this tour ahead of time from our home in Canada and went on the tour just a few days after arriving in India (this is my first visit to India). The tour was exactly as advertised with intangibles that made it even better.

    We were picked up in the nicest car we had ridden in so far on our trip and our driver, Ravi Kumar, was not only humorous but also incredibly considerate of our needs by offering us water and asking us to tell him if we needed the air conditioning turned up.

    We met our guide, Rahul, who is also the owner of Virsa travel, at a road side restaurant a couple of hours outside of Delhi. Rahul had an unassuming demeanor but his good humor and social ease was soon revealed as he sparked conversation and put us at ease while we enjoyed a delicious Indian breakfast together.

    Our next stop was at a primary and grade school in the countryside where we learned about the state of the education system from the teachers there and got to communicate with the children using our eyes and body language. This was the heartbreaking highlight for me (in a good way) – life changing for someone who has not traveled outside of the developed country in which they live.

    Rahul toured us around the small farming town and brought us to a family home where we joined the women in the kitchen as they prepared lunch. They are not accustomed to foreign visitors in this small place and the mutual fascination and desire to connect was palpable. The women had pre-prepared all of the ingredients but every step of the cooking process was described and shown. The food was authentic and delicious, prepared with love and rich with culture.

    After our lunch and heartfelt goodbyes our driver returned us to our hotel in Delhi. A few of the things that we appreciated the most is that Rahul offered all-in pricing. There were no hidden fees (such as highway tolls or taxes), no surprise stops at carpet shops (but if you want that typical experience I’m certain that Rahul would offer it but in a refined way), and our North American needs were understood and catered to without compromising the authenticity of the experience. And, best of all, we got to spend time with the Indian women in an Indian kitchen.

    The gratitude for the genuine connection and hospitality from this experience will always remain with us.

    P.S. The drive out to the country is a long one but Delhi is a big city to get out of. If you want a breather from it, just for a day, this offers that and, strange though it may seem, being in the car in Delhi for a while is part of what it means to experience India because it is a common experience for the people who live here.

    Thanks to the Coronavirus, our flights home via China from South East Asia were cancelled. Therefore, we looked at an alternative route that didn't cost a fortune. The best price was via Delhi but we only had one day there (such a shame because we loved it!).

    Being great lovers of Indian food but never actually having been to India, there was only one thing that we wanted to do - as big a food tour as we could possibly manage!

    We did a lot of research because with a long flight the day after, we did not want to be hit with upset stomachs for the long journey so a very thorough search brought us to Food Tour In Delhi. The reviews were extremely positive and no-one had any issues so we contacted them hoping that they had last minute availability. They were extremely responsive and we had booked our full day food tour of Old Delhi and New Delhi very quickly.

    We also enquired about toilet availability as it was a very long day and we were quickly reassured that our guide would be able to assist in finding suitable conveniences at any time during our day out.

    When the day came we were really excited. We were told to stay in our hotel room so that the driver who collected us would be able to call our room and let us know that he was there. Being polite British people, we thought we would save him the trouble and wait in reception. Wrong! Because our driver was not the guide, he did not have a Food Tour In Delhi uniform and we missed each other in the Lobby. We would recommend that you do what the email instructions say and stay in your room until you get the call. Luckily, this didn't delay us too much and we were soon en-route to collect our guide, Aditya, close by. The car stayed with us the entire day and was ready for us whenever our guide called on it so we had almost no waiting time. We were the only two people on the tour.

    We were both given a bag with a bottle of water, hand sanitiser and tissues all of which were very welcome throughout the day. Extras to bring would be something to cover up for the temple visit and your passports for security at the Presidential Palace.

    Aditya was a very enthusiastic, confident and knowledgeable chap with outstanding English. Our driver expertly drove us through the Delhi traffic to Old Delhi where our tour was to start. Having arrived in India in the very early hours, by 11am we were thrust into the biggest culture shock we have ever experienced!

    We had been on a 7 week tour of South East Asia going to Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos. We had seen a lot of fantastic things and experienced very different cultures but absolutely NOTHING prepared us for Old Delhi - it was absolutely insane in the best way possible!!! It was a full-on brutal assault on every sense and we could not get the smiles off our faces!

    Aditya expertly and confidently guided us through the streets and all the way he was explaining the history of Delhi and telling us about Indian life. No question went unanswered and he was very frank and informative. Although the tour was about the food, we really felt like we had two tours in one because we got so much information about the city and the culture all the way through the day, it felt like a city tour too!

    We had over 20 dishes throughout the day in so many different and interesting places. Food Tour In Delhi had carefully selected the places that we ate for their quality, hygiene, being environmentally friendly and having an interesting story. We ate at places that were incredibly popular with locals and also that had been established for a very long time - generations of families had run them! I won't spoil the surprises by describing the food - rest assured that you will get the best introduction into Indian cuisine imaginable and even if you think you know Indian food, get ready for some amazingly pleasant surprises.

    We skipped breakfast and were still pushing ourselves by the end of the day - there is a huge amount of amazing food. I can't stress enough that to get the most out of this day, you need to go hungry and pace yourselves - you don't have to finish every dish and sometimes, we asked our guide to just get us one portion to share as were getting really full.

    Having said that, the best thing about the tour is that Aditya paced it perfectly with each area we ate at being interspersed with walks, a rickshaw ride, tuk-tuk ride and visits to places like the Spice Market and a huge Sikh Temple where the kitchens serve over 10,000 meals per day for free! It is timed to perfection to give you the best food experience and not just bombard you with dishes so you get too full in one particular area.

    I can only say, if you are in Delhi and you are interested in doing a food tour - book the full day Old Delhi and New Delhi food tour - your taste buds and other senses will thank you for it!!!

    I have always missed connecting to the Old Delhi charm but after the last night's food walk, I am content.

    And thanks to Team Spinmonkey, who were kind enough to include our tour at the last minute.

    Thier passion to get us, all the popular Street food that we have requested earlier was commendable and they made sure that we didn't missed any.

    Qureshi's mouth watering kababs, Mohd. Hussain's fried chicken (JFC), sharbat-e-mohabbat, Hallem, Nihari, Biryani.... evrything was epic.

    And the festive season of Ramzan made it even more special.

    🙏🙏🙏🙏
    Thank you SpinMonkey from the bottom of my tummy. The overall experience was truly a soulful appetite. 🙂✌️

    We are on our last day in India (11 day whirl around the golden triangle) and have just returned from a walking tour of old Delhi with super funny and informative guide Varun. I wish we had done this as our first day & experience. We learned so much about the history, culture and beliefs of the complex and fascinating country. We got to see the markets , mosques, walked back streets feeling very safe and cared for. We shopped, rode, sat , ate , what more could anyone want? If you did , you only had to ask. I want to do it again ..who wants to come with me ? Just do this experience, it is so much more than a just walk with a guide. ♥️♥️♥️ Mary & Peter Hayman, Australia.

    Ujjwal was a very good guide! He was punctual, very well organized and friendly! We could easily spot the tour Leader in the DBC Orange t-shirt in Old Delhi. So many different dishes! We loved the food and had a great time!

    Delhi can be overwhelming and chaotic.
    My guide Rishi could explain a lot and guided me safely through the streetfood jungle of Old Delhi. In a really enthusiastic and likeable way.

    False advertising.

    This company did not deliver on what was advertised in this package. There is no more india gate or red fort. It's only one place then street food tour to spice market then a train ride half hour out the way to a cashmere carpet shop where u don't even wanna go to. We were also asked to fork out for further entrance fees after paying top dollar. The company operator said the advertisement was 2 years old and that it's no longer correct. If that were the case we would not have use them and booked someone who could deliver on what was the advertised package. Please update your service and be honest with the client.

    The shining light of the tour was the tour guide gurvinder Singh. Gurvender was a pleasure and very experienced. He is funny and charming and also very knowledgeable. He saved this company name they are blessed to have him.
