Great tour of Shahjahanabad for first time and returning visitors - Returning to New Delhi over 25 years later since living there in the 90's, I decided it would be worthwhile to use a guide to revisit Old Delhi. A colleague highly recommended Delhi by Locals. I was not disappointed. I was introduced to many new fascinating corners that I would never have found on my own. My guide was knowledgeable and engaging. I thoroughly enjoyed the adventure and would highly recommend the tour both for first time visitors and "old hands". In addition to introducing me to the Metro t the outset, the Masala Chai at the end was.also a welcome touch and a lovely opportunity to relax and have a good conversation with.my guide.

Fantastic tour replete with local knowledge and experience - Absolutely fantastic tour, a wonderful experience. Our guide, Pradeep, was knowledgeable, kind, friendly, and took us to all sorts of incredible places we never would have seen otherwise. Amidst the business and sensory overload of Old Delhi, Pradeep made us feel calm and able to enjoy. I highly, highly recommend this to anyone visiting Delhi, especially first time visitors like us.

Old Delhi Tour - Had the most amazing experience with the Old Delhi Tour guided by Salman. Salman was very friendly and generously shared his excellent knowledge of history, culture and architecture during the tour. He was open to questions and gave plenty of time to explain the background of different landmarks.
Would highly recommend anyone to this tour and would definitely recommend Salman ! Thank you again.

Crazy, colourful and chaotic Old Delhi - Salman was our guide and he did an excellent job of guiding us through old Delhi. We took the metro for the first time and visited the spice market, had chai, took a ride in a tuk tuk and also a bike taxi, then visited the Red Fort. Salman was a great guide and we learn’t lots about the history of the places we visited. The tour was well put together and we would recommend this company and highly recommend Salman as a guide.

First rate tour of Old Delhi and the Red Fort. - First rate tour tailored to our needs as we’d toured Old Delhi previously. Salman had excellent English, a keen sense of humour, and provided us with numerous interesting tidbits throughout the 4-hour tour. This tour was heads and shoulders better than our previous tours in the Capital. Can Highly recommend ‘Delhi by Locals’.

You need Delhi by Locals! - Fantastic day with Cloud (and Pradeep)! They were so friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable! We could not have explored Old Delhi is such a comprehensive, organized and enjoyable day without Cloud. He shepherded us through the Metro, the Market and shared details of his life and goals with us.

Beyond Expectations: Pradeep's Team Provided an Unforgettable Journey - Pradeep and the team (Salman and Badal) were amazing for two weeks, hosting 20 students from the University of Melbourne (I was the academic leading the trip). We basically trust them with all of our lives over this time, and they are so knowledgeable that they are always able to cater to our needs on the fly. Thanks to them, our itinerary with them not only included all the famous destinations, but also some really great off the beaten track items tailored to where we needed to be at the time. They never wasted any dead time, finding new places to show us, and also learned the preferences of the group quickly and adapted our itinerary as we went along.

Fun trip around Old Delhi - This was the second time guide Salman took us around several areas of Delhi. He was very knowledgable and went out of his way to make us feel safe, and tour areas at our own pace. He was very kind and accommodating and was very interesting to talk to with interesting stories and background information. We took a trip to Dilli Haat market and Salman accompanied us, managing haggling on our behalf and ensuring we had an enjoyable experience. We would highly recommend Delhi by Locals as a company and Salman as a guide.
