All of these dishes are vegetarian but meat eaters will have the option to try Indian fried chicken in the buzzing Matia Mahal neighborhood toward the end of the tour.

Its an excellent way to get a taste of Delhi. The guide is helpful, informative and super kind. We visited 7 spaces by metro, riksha, and walking. You can taste different but authentic food. The food was absolutely safe. I was alone on the tour, so it took only 2,5 hours.

We were the only participants that day, so it was a private tour for us. Our guide, Stanley, was very friendly, forthcoming and extremely knowledgeable, we could ask him everything about everything. Moving through Old Delhi by different means of transportation is definitely an experience, but one I personally wouldn’t dare to make without the company of a local. All the food was extremely delicious & not too spicey for Western palettes, and there was a lot! We went to six different locations trying a wide variety of snacks, a seventh one was closed so we had to skip it, but that was totally fine. Definitely highly recommended tour for everyone who wants to try New Delhi street food and eat a bit more like a local, but still be safe when it comes to health & hygiene.

Honestly such an amazing way to experience Delhi! The guides are amazing and talk you through the fascinating history of the city, whilst trying loads of different foods. I was stuffed by the end. At first I thought the price was quite high for the tour, but after doing the tour I realised why. All Your food is included, rickshaws and metros are included as well as the team offsetting 80% of the profit from the tours to help children get a better education in India! So worth the money, don’t hesitate just book it- it was my favourite day from my Two weeks trip and will be recommending it to everyone!
