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!

It was an excellent day touring Old and New Delhi with our guide Manu. He has a 15 year experience in the tourism industry so it was no surprise that he was very knowledgeable and informative. We were brought to a very nice lunch at the Connaught clubhouse. Also we had a rickshaw ride around Chandni Chowk included in the tour. I think the best part was Manu was very accommodating and helpful. We needed to get SIM cards and he helped with that before the end of the tour. He also gave recommendations for other things to do/ sites around India.
