Experience Day Trips in New Delhi with Withlocals

"The four of us spent a full day with Virendra. He is a truly excellent guide and speaks very good English. I was particularly impressed by his insightful descriptions of religious traditions and myths when we visited the temples. In the car during the transport between the sights, he answered questions and gave us an understanding of both history and current politics. He was also very flexible when we planned the day to take into account our preferences. All in all a guide I would like to thoroughly recommend. "

"Viru has been a fantastic guide. We spent a full day with him exploring Old Delhi, including the alleys, markets and huvelis which were definitely off the beaten track, before heading on to Humayun’s tomb and New Delhi, taking in a South Indian restaurant in Connaught. We visited the temples of the major faiths and Viru provided a deep insight into each. We would never have been able to do so much in one day without him. Viru was also able to arrange our onward journey to Agra, together with an excellent colleague who took us to the Agra fort and incomparable Taj Mahal. A great guide with a great team. Very highly recommended."

"I had great 1,5 days in Delhi with Virenda. He is great guide, has huge amount of information, knows the best places to visit and has a lot of intresting stories to tell. Everything went very smoothly, also his driver was very professional. I highly recommed Virenda if you want to explore Delhi with local guide. "

"We had a 15 hour layover at the Delhi airport, and did not want to just stay in the terminal. We booked Virendra to show us around for 8 hours. He gave us the most amazing tour and experience. He is deeply knowledgable, and explained things very clearly. He brought a fantastic driver that was included. We wanted to drive to a different town so that we could meet a friend. He worked that into our schedule and got us back to the airport on time."

"From start to finish it was such a pleasant experience with Harish! Even before the experience, we were able to fine tune the itinerary so that it would be easier for my elderly parents to make the most out of it. He took us to a sunrise tour of the Taj Mahal and then the Agra fort. Harish was very knowledgeable and I felt like a learnt a lot! It was such an easy and rewarding experience and I’ve already recommended this tour to my friends. "

"Virendra führte uns auf die Tour nach Agra mit Taj Mahal etc. Im Hotel wurden wir pünktlich abgeholt und mit dem Zug ging‘s dann nach Agra. Die Reise per Zug ist wirklich zu empfehlen, man kommt so auch mal zu einem Gespräch mit anderen Reisenden ( Lokals), und natürlich mit Virendra. Verpflegung im Zug inbegriffen. Die Führungen dann vor Ort waren kompetent und wir hatten genügend Zeit, auch weitere andere interessante Themen mit Virendra zu diskutieren, und konnten von seinem grossen Wissen profitieren."

"Virendra ist ein hauptberuflicher Tourguide mit viel Erfahrung. Das merkt man, es gibt keine Ecke Indiens, in der er noch nicht war. Wir haben es nicht geschafft, ihm eine Frage zu stellen, die er nicht mit viel Spaß und Hintergrundwissen beantworten konnte. So war die Tagestour von Delhi zum Taj Mahal kurzweilig und sehr informativ. Wir baten Virendra auch, alle Souvenirshops und dergleichen wegzulassen, da wir davon schon genug hatten. Daran hat er sich auch gehalten, was wir ihm hoch anrechnen. Aus der Fahrer war super und sehr professionell. Alles in allem unbedingt zu empfehlen! Pro Tip: macht nicht die Sonnenaufgang-Tour, vor allem nicht aus Delhi. Das machen alle, daher ist es da extrem voll. Und man muss nachts um 3 in Dehli los. Wir sind um 6 los, und als wir um 10 da waren, waren die Sonnenaufgangs-Touris alle schon wieder weg. Wir haben an keiner Stelle auch nur eine Minute warten müssen. Und das Licht war trotzdem toll ;-)"

"Truly enjoyed every minute of the tour. Lots of details in the stories, and a real thinker who can exchange views in-depth. Good food recommendations, and good plan of the trip. We had good rest in between different monuments."

"Truly amazing guy, not only showing us around, but also exchanging views of how the locals think. The trip is really beating expectation. Highly recommended!"

"We spent our time in Delhi with Virendra who is knowledgeable, responsible, thorough, flexible, prompt and good energy! I was a bit concerned travelling in India with my parents but he made sure they were kept entertained. He also gave advices on our itinerary Delhi onward, throughout Jaipur and Agra. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Virendra to anyone and they’ll have a guardian friend throughout their trip! "
