Explore the beauty of Old Delhi and Asia's Biggest the Spice Market! in New Delhi - 53600e30df15d1f132c825735f4fb7e0

Only have a few hours to spend in Delhi? That's all you need for a lifetime experience in this charming city. In just a few hours, we explore the best of the city: from centuries-old architectural wonders to its colorful, vibrant bazaars, including the largest spice market in Asia!

Enjoy people-watching, trying local delicacies, or taking hundreds of photos—there's a chance for all this and much more under the safety and expertise of your personal guide.

Delhi is actually composed of two parts: Old Delhi, in the north, the historic city; and New Delhi, in the south, the capital of India since 1947, built in the early 20th century as the capital of British India.

This tour is a perfect opportunity to soak in the beauty of Old Delhi, the most chaotic and colorful part of the city!

After being picked up from your hotel or home-stay, we head to Old Delhi, stopping for a photo in front of the iconic Red Fort. Next, we explore the vibrant bazaar around Chandni Chowk, where different streets specialize in different things: from wedding paraphernalia to food and spices, and the ubiquitous chai. We also have the opportunity to visit the 16th-century Jama Masjid, or Friday Mosque, where 25,000 people can pray at a single time.

It was easy to chat with Mona (Madhavendra) and we were very much looking forward to meeting him and our tour. Unfortunately we were hit with Delhi belly the night before our tour and had to cancel. Certainly his communication skills are great and I have no doubt we would have enjoyed the tour.Great Communication!

Visiting a place as exotic as India for the first time (and as a senior citizen) can be daunting. I took my time in choosing a guide. My sister has some mobility issues and I was concerned for her safety and comfort. I also wanted a guide I could converse and enjoy while driving long distances and feeling safe. I chose wisely. Mona (as he likes to be called)is a 25 year old university graduate who speaks 6 languages. His conversations of the things we were passing, were not academic. They were masterful 'story telling'. This is a young man born in India with an intense pride in his country who very much wanted US to see his country through HIS eyes. He is quickly building an impressive list of clients, and rightfully so. Mona was very aware of my sisters limitations and, along with our amazing driver Kamel, made her trip effortless with their care and concern. Mona has an wonderful sense of humor (something important to me when I travel) and an ability to know when were were getting tired and needed to redirect. Mona made it clear that the itinerary we were following, was only as good as the moment we were in, and was quick to make any adjustments for our comfort. Mona became 'family'. I highly recommend, after booking him, that you show him your possible hotel choices and let him help guide you to a hotel that meets your needs, in this very large county. Mona also appreciated my being a 'foodie' and took us to marvelous places experiencing the foods of the area. There were no bounds on his a ability to make us comfortable. India is a place of textures and great history and lushness, greatly enhanced by Mona's knowledge and personal care. Don't miss this opportunity. Thank you Mona!(please thank Kamel as well, he was a great part of our experience. Don't Miss This Opportunity

More about me

Namaste Dear Travelers!

I am Madhavendra, or Mona - as my family and friends call me, and I invite you to experience the beauty of this amazing country on one of my personalised tours! I am a local Delhiite, with a passion for everything the city has to offer: culture, history, heritage, food, photography...

I am a traveler myself, with immersive cultural experience being my favorite style! In my free time, I like reading books, cooking Indian food, watching movies, or simply walking through the colorful streets of Delhi!

I am able to offer a diverse range of trips : heritage and food walks, photo tours, and multi-day trips among others; tailored to your interest and convenience.

My areas of specialisation include the capital city of Delhi (my home since 2015), and the city of the Taj Mahal - Agra (an enriching day trip from Delhi).

If given a chance, I assure you of an unforgettable experience in this amazingly diverse city.
