The perfect introduction to the local culture - We did the “Hidden Gems” and “Street Food” tours on the same day, right after our first night in the city, and it turned out to be a fantastic introduction to the local customs, food, and everyday life.
What truly made the experience special was our guide, Neha. She has an incredible combination of knowledge and charisma.
She not only mastered all the information included in the tour, but also answered every single question we had about daily life in the city, traditions, and culture with honesty and depth. You can immediately tell when someone genuinely loves sharing what they know.
We really enjoyed the dialogue and how easy it was to exchange ideas and perspectives. The conversations flowed naturally, and we ended up learning far more than we expected.
Tip ahead! Be prepared to walk a lot (comfortable shoes are a must!), but every stop adds something valuable. We finished the day tired, but with a much deeper understanding of the place.
We highly recommend booking with Intrepid Travel — and if you get the chance, ask for Neha. It truly went beyond our expectations.

Highlight of our time in Delhi - We had a wonderful tour with karamveer who was an excellent guide. We enjoyed all aspects of the tour and learned many new things. The wall art was great. The visit to the beautiful gardens and monuments were a real highlight. It was lovely to be out in nature. The Indian snacks and tea at the JugMug cafe were fantastic. We enjoyed talking with each other and the vibe on the cafe was wonderful.

A welcome break from the bustle of the city. - Aakash took us to see a different side of Delhi, one of sumptuous gardens, quiet tombs and off beat street art. It was a welcome respite from the bustle of the city. The tour was informative, interesting and Aakash was super friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and spoke excellent English. We felt comfortable asking any question! We ate lunch at a charming, hidden away cafe and it was absolutely delicious (have the Pav Bhaji)!
We would recommend this tour to anyone who likes gardens, cafes, wants to take a break from the busy streets and enjoy something different.

Excellent, varied, and definitely a gem - Nehs was our local guide. She was helpful, knowledgeable, funny and made the day wonderful. The trip gives a great over view on different places which would be difficult to cover if doing it without the local guide and transport. A must fo trip made better by Neha

Uncommon highlights of Delhi with Neha - Had a wonderful day out with Neha. Loved seeing less-visited parts of the city and a mix of historical and contemporary places. Neha was knowledgeable and friendly, very happy to answer my many questions and get to know me too. Our driver, Jitu, was helpful and drove safely, too.

Something different and fascinating - The tour was well organised and the places we visited really interesting. It was fun to see the street art and the cafe where I had the opportunity to talk to local university students. The nursery and gardens are beautiful and worth the break from the hustle of Delhi.
My only complaint is that our guide spent a lot of time texting and talking privately on his phone instead of interacting with us. Also there were a few very steep steps to climb to the main tomb which I -found difficult, being older and short. He did nothing to help me, just stood and watched me struggle.

Not to be missed - A fabulous afternoon/evening exploring parts of Delhi I would otherwise not have known existed. Delicious food, amazing street art and fascinating archeological sites. Nothing was too much trouble, very relaxed and he made time to stop at India Gate for a photo op along the way. Highly recommend this tour.
