I am a passionate Delhiite (local of Delhi), with a university degree in Indian History. Delhi, being an amazing city, has the magical power to enthrall those passing through its ambit. While working as a local guide for over a year, I have been fortunate to help people see the beauty of this mega-city. Having done my tertiary studies from the prominent University of Delhi, I know the city inside out: from the best street food, to the hidden lane-ways; from the chaotic streets of Old Delhi, to peaceful premises of the Lodhi Gardens; from its UNESCO-enlisted monuments, to its little known step-wells; I can take you right under the skin of the city! Let me share with you the amazing wonders of Delhi!
We kick-start our day at the Chawri Bazaar Metro Station in Old Delhi where an other-worldly charm awaits us. This colorful part of the city has been charming visitors for over three centuries. It encompasses some of the best street-food of the city, age-old bazaars, historical monuments, and numerous religious structures (including the largest mosque of India!).
We start our adventure with a walk through the bazaar next to the subway, appreciating the hard-working locals pushing heavy carts through narrow alleys. Continuing our walk, we stop at the 17th century mosque Jama Masjid. Next, we explore the wedding paraphernalia market Kinaari Bazaar. Walking through this captivating street, we stop for a cup of masala chai (the national drink of India!) before savoring the much-loved local snacks Paranthas! I'll take you through a hidden laneway, stopping for photos in front of painted havelis (mansions) dating back to the 19th century. We continue our journey to Khari-Baoli, the largest spice market of Asia!
After our unforgettable adventure, we catch the metro/taxi back to your place.
It can be started at your preffered time.

Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
