Virendra led us through the bustling streets of Old Delhi from specialty to specialty. Sweet, salty, spicy, drinks and food, there was a bit of everything at various stalls, some of which were over 200 years old, and everything was without exception delicious. Therefore highly recommended! Virendra is very friendly, humorous and willingly answered many questions. Gladly again!Great tasting of authentic Indian cuisine

Virendra is a fantastic guide and ambassador for India! I highly recommend a booking with him if you want to see everything through the eyes of a local who is knowledgeable, professional, kind, efficient, funny, and interested in what you want to see and how. Via a mix of car and driver and walking, he showed us all the important sites and also the hidden gems of Old, New and East Delhi. He’s a real pro and was so much fun to spend the day with. We feel like we have a new friend!!!Delhi City Tour

On very short notice, Virendra was able to pull together a bespoke day visit experience for our history- and culturally-interested group of 3. His explanations of historical sites and monuments were thorough and fact-based, and he was able to adjust our itinerary and timings as the day unfolded, making for an efficient day. Pour des francophones: Virendra parle assez bien le français, qui est un atout, et assez rare en Inde. Responsive, knowledgeable, flexible

Virendra was a great tour guide through out Old Delhi-he has knowledge of the area that feels quite reassuring to a first time traveler to India. It was great to visit some of the food stalls, with confidence that it would not be unsanitary. It was a great day and we felt we had great personal attention and was able to answer our questions. Highly recommend Such a great guy!

We had no expectations except maybe a large city when we started out with Virendra. I must say he and our driver made our visit a real pleasure. From Agra but of Delhi now, Virendra really knows his city and helped us learn of both Old and New Delhi, with laughter, good anecdotes and knowledge of the many nook and crannies of the city. We highly recommend working with him for any future trips you may have need for a great guide!Exploration in Delhi

Virendra ist ein hauptberuflicher Tourguide mit viel Erfahrung. Das merkt man, es gibt keine Ecke Indiens, in der er noch nicht war. Wir haben es nicht geschafft, ihm eine Frage zu stellen, die er nicht mit viel Spaß und Hintergrundwissen beantworten konnte. So war die Tagestour von Delhi zum Taj Mahal kurzweilig und sehr informativ. Wir baten Virendra auch, alle Souvenirshops und dergleichen wegzulassen, da wir davon schon genug hatten. Daran hat er sich auch gehalten, was wir ihm hoch anrechnen. Aus der Fahrer war super und sehr professionell. Alles in allem unbedingt zu empfehlen! Pro Tip: macht nicht die Sonnenaufgang-Tour, vor allem nicht aus Delhi. Das machen alle, daher ist es da extrem voll. Und man muss nachts um 3 in Dehli los. Wir sind um 6 los, und als wir um 10 da waren, waren die Sonnenaufgangs-Touris alle schon wieder weg. Wir haben an keiner Stelle auch nur eine Minute warten müssen. Und das Licht war trotzdem toll ;-)Super!

I booked a 3 day tour with Virendra for my parents and this is their review after the perfect experience they had in Delhi/New-Delhi. Virendra has amazing knowledge about the history and mixture of religion in the city and can explain it really well in English AND French. He is very friendly and will adapt to your every wishes. On top of showing you the public transport in Delhi, Virendra also works with a very good driver for the sights that are a little further away. In general, Virendra makes the experience feel special and unique, and not like a tourist trap forcing you to spend money left and right. Overall, my parents can only recommend Virendra as a guide for Delhi/New-Delhi but also other cities in Northern India. I got to chat with Virendra online to organise the tour beforehand and it was very pleasant. He answered every question I had super fast and in a friendly matter. I want to thank him again for making my parents' trip unforgettable. Amazing Delhi Experience

We were very fortunate to have Virendrak as our guide. We have limited time with specific sights and experiences in mind for Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. Virendrak was able to help us come up with the itinerary to accommodate our wishes. He has great communication skills which helped us with our pre-trip planning. Virendrak did not disappoint in person. He was personable and professional. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. There were many suggestions he gave which are so valuable because we would have never thought about it on our own. Highly recommend Virendrak to make your trip special.Great multi-city experience with Virendrak

My wife & I used Virendra (Viru) as a private guide in New Delhi. We would highly recommend Virendra (and his driver Happy), they were both very professional and had a wealth of useful and interesting information. Virendra took us to some amazing places including Jama Maskid, Chandri Chowk, India Gate, Gandhi’s tomb, a Stepwell and Lotus temple. Also stopped at a great place in Connaught place for lunch and used a nice air conditioned car which was appreciated. Definitely a big recommendation from us.A wonderful day out on Delhi

Having only 2 days to spend in Delhi the choice of a guide is unquestionable and we were so lucky to secure Virendra (V) as our guide. We corresponded with him before our trip and he advised us on an itinerary which suited our interests and maximized our limited time. Everything ran smoothly from the airport pickup to drop off for our departure. Dealing with the crowds and traffic would have been impossible without his local experience. V was at all times flexible and accommodating. Punctual and reliable. He successfully juggled a full itinerary of historic sites, memorable meals and some retail without at any time seeming rushed. It was wonderful spending time with him.We would without hesitation recommend that you make use of his exemplary services. 2 fabulous days in Delhi

Virendra was a really wonderful guide during our day in Delhi. He made sure to show us a variety of highlights of the city and was flexible in changing the schedule in response to our interests. He is incredibly knowledgeable about each site and clearly takes pleasure in sharing that knowledge. We felt safe and well taken care of by him and his driver. Even though we had only one day to see this massive city, thanks to Virendra we really feel that we got a taste of all it has to offer. Highly recommended Delhi guide

We had a 15 hour layover at the Delhi airport, and did not want to just stay in the terminal. We booked Virendra to show us around for 8 hours. He gave us the most amazing tour and experience. He is deeply knowledgable, and explained things very clearly. He brought a fantastic driver that was included. We wanted to drive to a different town so that we could meet a friend. He worked that into our schedule and got us back to the airport on time.Very Flexible and Accommodating

Virendra jee was simply the best! He prepared a tour prior our trip and he adjusted it following our needs during our staying. He provided not only a many useful information regarding the city but he made us discover its culture with active experiences as street foods tour and temple visits. He has been available to answer all our question and he had always in mind our well-being. He is contagiously cheerful and we could not chose a best guide! We will definitely choose him again for our next trip to India:)OUR WONDERFUL DAYS IN DELHI WITH VIRENDRA

Virendra was such a wonderful guide! He is so knowledgeable and knew all the neatest places to visit. It was a mix of the tourist stuff and the non tourist stuff. We had such a wonderful experience on our food tour we hired Virendra to take us all around Delhi the next day! We just had the BEST time eating, walking, talking and learning! Cheers to Virendra!Wonderful guide!

Two Australians visiting India for the very first time. Virendra was a delight to deal with. He is trustworthy, respectful and knowledgeable, always willing and ready to please. The Street Food Walking Tour with him was delicious and he showed us so many places we would not have ventured alone. He is an excellent guide. I recommend after booking a tour with Virendra, you also ask him to arrange to be your guide for other parts of India. He took us for 4 days through Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. SO much better experience with him than without. His driver ‘Happy’ was safe and reliable with a perfect car. We saw EVERYTHING! It was WOW! India’s Very Best Guide

Virendra picked me up from my hotel and took me on a sightseeing tour of Old Dehli, at very short notice as I had a few hours prior to joining a tour. He was knowledgeable, friendly, took me on 3 different modes of transport. I do not hesitate to recommend Jim.Great experience

I very much enjoyed my tour of Old Delhi with Veerou. Our two lunch restaurants were very good, without any “Delhi Belly” for tourists. We walked many small streets and alleys, getting a good picture of the market areas. Veerou was very helpful to find me items I forgot to pack. Make sure you have about USD$40 in rupees for entrance fees and lunch.Great local!

Virendra is a true professional and a walking history book. He gave us a very good insight into New Delhi and Old Delhi well beyond the agreed time. We felt safe and very well looked after at all times. We would choose Virenda again at any time.Dehli
