We took this one-day tour of Delhi as our time in Delhi was limited. Our tour guide Ramesh and driver Suresh both made this an excellent experience for us. Ramesh took us to all the sights and was sure to give us the choice of what we wanted to do throughout the tour in terms of which sights to see and what to do in each place, which we really appreciated. He is clearly very knowledgeable about the history of Delhi and he also got us some great photos! We particularly enjoyed the Lotus temple, Raj Ghat and Qutub Minar. Thanks for a great day and a brilliant way to experience both Old and New Delhi!

We had an amazing time with guide Palash and driver Jabed! Palash is really knowledgeable. He communicated with us first about the itinerary and listened to our interests. He always cared about the way we felt and gave his best to show places which are not even in the description. Car was great and spacious and guide was always with us to answer any questions we had. Would recommend to anyone wanting to know Delhi in a day!
