Experience Delhi, not simply as a sightseeing tour BUT experience the city through our eyes on the whole with its past and present, with its beliefs and its culture that co-exist. This is off the beaten / eaten tourist path,which is refreshing and authentic.If you can only do one thing in Delhi... LET THIS BE IT. You will get a completely different look of India through the eyes of the local family living in the same area. You will be personally leaded around the neighborhood's winding streets, sharing the neighborhood's rich history, delicious food & culture. After the walk, you will visit and enjoy complimentary home made meal at one of the last standing beautiful Haveli (Old- Family Living- Private Mansion- in the Old City) of Delhi. The Masterji Kee Haveli(Old- Family Living- Private Mansion- in the Old City) has a terrace from where, there are views of Old Delhi in all its higgledy-piggledy chaos. « less

Old Delhi is a must... Come with an empty stomach and try everything from samosas to curry to the honey pastries. There's silver and scarves and so much to immerse yourself in and just watch the locals go by.

I would strongly recommend anyone visiting Delhi to do this tour. Dhruv shows you a side to Old Delhi that you wouldn't be able to experience on your own and invites you into his beautiful home to have the most delicious meal. His love of his hometown and his people are infectious and he has given me a truly memorable... More

Took this walk and visit about halfway through my month-long tour of India. Thanks to Dhruv and Anju, I had the classic definition of a revelation: "a surprising and previously unknown fact, especially one that is made known in a dramatic way." This was in-depth observation and learning conducted by two masters. They arranged sights and experiences that one might... More

My husband and I travelled with our daughters aged 22 yrs and 16 yrs. We wanted to experience the street life but were not confident enough to walk the bustling streets ourselves without getting lost. Then again, had we done this alone we would certainly have missed the interesting little stops and fascinating information that Anju provided us with. Anju... More

Loved this tour. Actually, it doesn't feel like you are on a tour at all - just feels like one of your friends is takes you around their hometown. There are very few tours where you get to experience a countries culture, food and hospitality. Most tours are just sightseeing tours which can be nice too but are generally not... More

My fiancé and I joined this tour and it was a unique way to explore Old Delhi and learn about the culture. Dhruv is very knowledgable and he teaches you a lot about the areas you explore with him. He has a beautiful haveli in the heart of Old Delhi and his family is also very kind. If you sign... More

I joined one of Dhruv's half-day morning tours while in Delhi on business. I'm so glad I spent what limited time I had doing so, because I got to visit areas of Old Delhi I might not have otherwise seen. Dhruv's tours are a labor of love. It is his neighborhood, and he helps you to see and understand some... More

Anju and Dhruv gave us the most fascinating tour we have ever taken.
