Uncover the best of Khari Baoli the local Way

"I had a fantastic afternoon exploring Chandni Chowk with Ritesh, with breaks for the best street food! I gained an appreciation for how the history of Delhi melds into the present: while some families have been trading in the market for generations, there’s no form of historic preservation as in Europe. Some buildings are crumbling while new construction is underway next door. I mentioned at the start of our booking that I needed to find 2 more outfits for the wedding I’m attending this weekend. Ritesh was on the case, checking with friends on the best shops to visit. I’m very happy with the saree and blouse we found for the Mehendi ceremony and the fabric for the suit for the Haldi ceremony. We ran into several guys Ritesh described as ‘uncles’ (not literally his uncles; older guys from his neighbourhood) and I felt very safe in what could have been an overwhelming environment. I told my friend who lives in Delhi about the street food we ate; she’s excited to try the Japani Samosa (Manohar Dhaba, near Lajpat Rai electronics market) and the black dhal (Kake di Hatti near the spice market). After our tour, Ritesh went above and beyond in helping me get the eSIM for my phone. My driver guy didn’t know where to go or what to say in the shop to help with this, but Ritesh was all over it. He accompanied me to the mobile phone shop, translated and made sure I got connected."

"It was a really wonderful street food tour. Ritesh was very open and knew so many great and delicious places, and he really adapted the tour to what I felt like. I can wholeheartedly recommend him."

"Our food tour with Mona was great with great food and locations we visited. Mona was professional and knew the city well. I can reccomend the tour! Thanks again! "

"Ritesh was the best tour guide we’ve ever had! So kind, adaptable and knowledgeable—everything you want on a tour. He showed us around great sights and we tried lots of delicious food. He seamlessly took us through crowded streets and made us feel very safe amid the bustle. Highly recommend! "

"We had a fantastic and unforgettable tour through Old Delhi with Ritesh, who is such a great, joyful and really knowledgeable host. We have explored many amazing places, while Ritesh gave us a great insight into the history of the city! It was easy to get in touch with him before our trip in order to plan the tour and he didn’t hesitate a moment to customize our visit. Ritesh also gave us plenty of great advices for our stay, he knows so many hidden places! An overall amazing experience, highly recommended! I would happily book another tour with Ritesh!"

"Absolutely unforgettable experience with Ritesh in Purani Dilli. I’m a Delhiite now living in New York, and I brought my partner—who’s from New York and visiting India for the first time—on this tour. We were completely spellbound. Even as a local, I was shown places, stories, and details I had never experienced before. Ritesh has an incredible way of bringing Old Delhi to life. He tailors the experience exactly to what you’re interested in, making it feel deeply personal rather than like a standard tour. He’s warm, extremely personable, and impressively knowledgeable, with a genuine love for the city that really comes through. This was one of the highlights of our trip—authentic, immersive, and absolutely amazing. I can’t recommend Ritesh enough to both first-timers and locals who think they already know Delhi."

"Ritesh is very friendly and very knowledgeable about Old Delhi. The tour is very well curated, I highly recommend it."
