For first timer Americans to Delhi this tour was just excellent. Guide was attentitive, incredibly informative and conversed in perfect English. He sheparded us through the crowds as we explored markets, architectures and tastes of Old Delhi. Don't miss Old Delhi but equally, don't try doing it by yourself.....just too crazy without an insightful guide like ours. This is the only way to go!!
