Great tour. The driver was great and his car was clean. We saw everything we wanted to see and more. We had to leave about 1 hour early but wish we could have seen more but had another commitment at the US embassy. But what really made the tour was our tour guide, he was fantastic! His knowledge of the sites and of Delhi and India in general were amazing. He was easy to understand and you really could tell he loves his job. 5 star for the tour and our tour guide!

Absolutely loved this tour with our guide Naveen and driver Annu. The tour was well organised and planned. We were picked up at 8am and dropped at 6pm but start to finish it was brilliant. Naveen spoke brilliant English and his knowledge was outstanding. Annu kept us safe on the road which is crazy in itself 😂 Highly recommend this tour company. Me and my sister felt safe and looked out in the hustle and bustle of old Delhi.

Lucky was a fabulous guide. Just the right amount of content and interaction. He tailored the day to what we wanted to see. Hit all that main sights and also included an excellent lunch w more than enough choices Driver was patient and had good control of the road. The organizer had all the info we needed before the day and followed up to see if we were happy w the tour. Definitely recommend. Best of the 8 tours we did over a month in India

Our guide Dev was very knowledgeable, and our driver was ‘gifted’ in the horrible traffic. Delhi is crowded, filthy and the air is virtually toxic. We drove to a few spots, and a nice mosque; we were able to get a few pictures. But the spice market was overwhelming and a terrible experience, the guides should warn their tourists of what’s there prior to going in. Also, every guide should let their tourists know that ALl spices have to go in their checked luggage. We lost $50 in spices at the airport!!!!! Not a great city, Agra was just as bad 😞

This tour was very good to see a lot of New and Old Delhi in just one day. I happened to be running late from my flight that day and had to push it back 1 hour, but the tour company was still able to work with me and was no problem. We did have to cut out a small amount due to that, but still got to see a lot. Old Delhi was very interesting and chaotic for sure. Be sure to have money available to tip at multiple points throughout the tour and you will be going into temples, which means long pants are necessary, but they also have covers available at the sites for those who wear shorts. Also note that the Lotus Temple and Swaminarayan Akshardham are closed Mondays, which I was unaware of when I booked, so that was a bit of a bummer. Overall a good tour and experience, with a great driver and tour guide.
