Ritu and our drivers were Amazing! I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone who wants to experience Old Delhi. Ritu went out of her way to answer all of our questions and cater the tour to our tastes as much as reasonably possible. She was by far the best tour guide we had on our entire trip and I wish she could have been the guide for all of them.

Our Old Delhi Tour by Rickshaws was a great tour and well led Ritu. We have lasting memories of some great back alley locations we would never have found on our own discovery. Word of Caution, confirm meeting times and location before the excursion. I didn't, and there was a bit of a mix up. Standing on a busy intersection in Old Delhi looking a like a lost soul is not a smart move!!!!

Our rickshaw tour of Old Delhi was Amazing. It was great having the owner/guide explaining everything to us as we did the tour in our earpieces. You would miss so much without the guide. Old Delhi is like going back in time and I highly recommend the tour. Booking was easy, just keep an eye out for the guys in the red t-shirts to find the group. If you are a westerner you will stand out and the guide will find you on the corner opposite the entry to the fort. There is a red wall and a white metal fence. Thats where you meet.

The guide was very polite and knowledgeable. The rickshaw took us through the streets of Delhi and some famous monuments. We had a nice lunch. Overall 4 stars is worthy of the tour.

Lives up to all expectations and provided a city perspective we would have never found on our own.
