We had an absolutely memorable walking tour with Ritesh, late afternoon and on a very hot day. It was both fun, entertaining and we learned a lot. Ritesh is extremely knowledgeable and kind, couldn't have asked for a better guide. Warmly recommended to anyone who would like to see Old Delhi from a slightly different angle, off the beaten track. Thanks a lot Ritesh!!Ritesh rocks!

Ritesh was friendly, knowledgeable and spoke good English. We were shown parts of Old Delhi that we would never have found if we went by ourselves. Great tour of Old Delhi

Amazing food tour! Our guide went above and beyond to customize the tour for us at the last minute—which we truly appreciated. We explored local night markets and hidden gems, tasting the best chai tea and butter chicken ever. A perfect mix of culture, flavor, and authenticity—highly recommend! If you’re a foodie looking for an authentic and immersive experience, this tour is a must! Highly recommend it to anyone wanting to explore the real flavors of India.Authentic Delhi!

There are no words to describe how amazing Ritesh is at what he does. His knowledge of Delhi’s history is outstanding and his English is perfect. He is enthusiastic and engaging and a perfect guide. I communicated with Ritesh for weeks prior as I didn’t have a definite date but he was so flexible and attentive. 200% recommend!You wont be disappointed

We loved the food walk with Ritesh! We didn’t have a ton of time in New Delhi, but we were able to try some incredible food and learn a bit about the city and its history. There’s no way we would’ve found the stalls that he took us to and we left absolutely stuffed with the amount of food we were able to try. Would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone that wants to eat like the locals in New Delhi! Incredible food walk with Ritesh!

Ritesh was incredibly knowledgeable on history and local area that made for a truly unforgettable tour of the old town of Delhi. He gladly was able to adjust my tour to my preferences and interests. As a woman solo travelling he was very conscious of my safety and helped me find an Uber back to the hotel at the end of the tour. Would highly recommend!Incredible tour

Ritesh was such a great guide. He was welcoming snd warm and charismatic from the start and listened to what we loved to eat and incorporated it into the tour. He took us around Old Dehli in Chandni Chowk. The foods we ate were unique and delicious, with some that we definitely wouldn't be able to find on our own. Highly recommend! Delicious foods and surprises!

Actually we only booked a tour in Delhi with Ritesh.He really did a great job and told us so much about this beautiful city…as our next tour guide declined the golden triangle tour to Agra and Jaipur Ritesh did not hesitate and organized that tour for us within short notice. He showed us the amazing Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and in Jaipur whatever you should visit. He was always taking perfect care about our wellbeing and we really recommend this tour guide…thank you Ritesh :)Great tour

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Heritage Walking Tour of Old Delhi with the exceptional guidance of Ritesh, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. This tour is an absolute gem for anyone interested in the rich cultural tapestry of India, beautifully woven with the threads of its four main religions—Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, and Buddhism. Ritesh's deep understanding of the intricacies of each religion was remarkable. There were times when I actually felt like I should be taking notes because there was so much amazing historical info provided from Ritesh everywhere we went. Throughout the 3-hour adventure, Ritesh maintained an enthusiastic and friendly approach, ensuring that I was engaged. And his ability to convey complex religious histories with clarity and enthusiasm was educating and inspiring. I would also like to call attention to the rickshaw ride, which was indeed fun, but it served a functional purpose in getting us from a few different points of interest that would have been challenging to walk to and from. As well, after the tour concluded, Ritesh helped me locate my prearranged taxi driver, so I had an easy transition from the tour back into my taxi and then back to my hotel, which I greatly appreciated. In short, if you're in Old Delhi and want to experience its heart and soul, take this tour with Ritesh. It's an unforgettable journey through time and tradition that you’ll cherish long after you’ve left the bustling streets of Delhi. Thank you, Ritesh, for an unparalleled experience!An Incredible Experience with Ritesh!
