“We had the best afternoon exploring Old Delhi with Tavrej! He showed us so many food spots that we would never have found ourselves, and by the end of the tour we were stuffed. It was great having the food all paid for in the booking fee, as it meant we didn’t have to worry about getting money out in the market or having to choose which dishes to pay for. Tavrej also made sure we always had plenty of water, napkins and hand sanitiser, and made us feel safe at all times. A wonderful tour guide and a wonderful tour!”

“l took the vegan food tour on Sunday morning with Sonali, and it was a fantastic experience. A great tip for others: many shops are closed on Sunday, so the streets were not as crowded as other days, making the walk much more enjoyable. Sonali is an excellent guide—very knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. She explained the history of Old Delhi beautifully and shared fascinating details about the origins of every dish we tried. If you want an authentic and seamless experience in the heart of the city, I highly recommend taking the tour with her.”
