Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Ritesh was a thoroughly knowledgable guide, a necessary part of an in-depth view of the market. He was very thoughtful, considered our needs and food interests, and provided us with a very enjoyable tour. Withlocals was a great way to connect with a local guide who had knowledge and experience in the area. I would highly recommend using Ritesh to any traveller coming to Delhi."
"A brilliant tour with Mona - he’s such a knowledgeable guide. He took us to some excellent food stalls and we got to try food that we would never have found ourselves. We also learned a lot about the history and culture of Old Delhi, which was fascinating. We’d highly recommend this experience."
"Best food tour ever with Ritesh in old town Delhi. If you want a delicious selection of Indian street food and an informative and charming host then Ritesh is the #1 choice. Come hungry and enjoy. "

"Ritesh was an excellent host catering the tour to us by getting to know us and asking what we wanted to try as well as making suggestions. He gave a great history and we had interesting conversations on Indian life. Thank you Ritesh. "
"We can’t speak highly enough of our Delhi food tour with Ritesh. A fantastic guide, who was warm and friendly from the moment he met us, Ritesh shared with us his knowledge of Delhi history and his passion for food as we travelled around different restaurants and cafes in the city. The food was absolutely incredible - everything was delicious and we loved that each place felt really authentic and not touristy at all. As three women spending less than 24 hours in Delhi, this tour was a perfect way to get a feel for the city in the short time we had and Ritesh made us all feel so comfortable. Thank you Ritesh for such a memorable experience - we’d recommend your tour to anyone!"
"We highly recommend Vishnu as a tour guide in India. We spent 5 hours with him in Delhi and it was fantastic!! His knowledge and experience were just amazing. He truly showed us some gems all around New Delhi and Old Delhi and we felt immersed in the culture of India. Please look for Vishnu if you ever visit India. A memorable day we will never forget. "
"Very interesting tour, where Ritesh explained so much about the history of Old Delhi (or, I should say Delhi Purina, or Purana - I forgot! Sorry), we visited different temples of different religions, wandered the hectic (even if it was a Sunday- still hectic to me!) old streets. It was beautiful and interesting and I would definitely recommend spending a few hours with Ritesh to learn more about this colourful city."
