Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Ketan was our guide in Delhi, and he was absolutely outstanding. He is a young, highly professional guide who truly makes sure you experience the city, not just see it. His explanations about Hindu life and culture were fascinating, and he showed us both sides of Delhi—from vibrant local markets to the broader contrasts of the city. The tour was amazing from start to finish. What more can I say? It was simply the best, and we highly recommend him. Ketan speaks several languages, and with us he guided in both French and English, which was perfect."

"Virendra was a wonderful host, very knowledgeable and kind. He took us around old Delhi at our request and made the tour a unique experience. Thank you!"
"Gajendra curated a personalized half-day tour of Delhi that perfectly matched my interests and needs. From arranging a reliable driver to offering insightful cultural and historical context at each stop, he enriched the entire experience. His knowledge, flexibility, and professionalism made the tour both seamless and memorable. I highly recommend Gajendra as a guide for anyone looking to explore Delhi with depth and ease."
"Ketan curated a great day for us in Delhi with exactly what we wanted. We got an inside look at life in the markets and the older part of the city, in areas we would not have ventured ourselves. He helped us on and off public transport and in and out of major tourist sites with ease. He answered all of our questions and we learned a lot about the history of India. Highly recommend Ketan as a guide for anyone visiting Delhi, you will not be disappointed! "
