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!

Ritesh was great, our tour was difficult for him as my husband has difficulty walking, and I am a coeliac, and it was a Sunday late afternoon when many things close early. He was extremely accommodating and compassionate. Regarding the food itself he found some really delicious foods for us to try. Rock and roll Ritesh

Het was fantastisch. Ritesh liet ons genieten van lekkere en authentieke gerechten. Hij heeft ons echt meegenomen naar de beste spots om eten te proeven. Ook onze kinderen vonden het geweldig, ook omdat Ritesh ons veel over gerechten, het land en de mensen kon vertellen! Zeker een aanrader! Foodtour

We had a GREAT time sampling street foods with Ritesh! He expertly navigated us through busy streets and back alleys to sample a variety of delicious and authentic Delhi cuisine. He went out of his way to make us feel comfortable, even helping us figure out transportation back to the hotel. This has been our favorite experience in Delhi by far!! Thanks again for the unique experience, Ritesh!Street Food Tour of Chandni Chowk

Highly recommend booking a half-day with Ritesh if you’re looking for an authentic, fun and informative food tour in Old Delhi. Before our excursion, Ritesh reassured us that he only deals with reputable, safe and sanitary vendors so we had no concerns about possible tummy issues on our holiday. Ritesh is that rare combination of someone who is not only personable, punctual and fun, but also highly educated, insightful and positive. He impressed us with details about the history of the region, as well as interesting anecdotes about daily life, plus observations about global concerns and even the current political situation in our native Canada. Each food stop was carefully chosen, organized and efficient, as well as delicious, varied and filling. He even has a special dish named Superstar after him and was recognized by many locals in the streets. Bring an empty stomach because you’ll need it. Seamless communication in advance solidified all details and pickup/dropoff worked like a charm so our limited time in Delhi was put to good use. Such a great morning and thank you, Ritesh!

We had a wonderful afternoon tour with Ritesh. We had never been to India before and had only arrived in Delhi the day before, so everything was very new and exciting! Ritesh customised our tour to ensure we would go to places that were off the beaten track and all the food we had was delicious and none of us got sick. My 12 year old daughter also enjoyed the tour, Ritesh was very entertaining and knowledgeable. We had a great time and I would definitely recommend Ritesh.Great experience!
