“The Most Amazing 1 Day Guided Tour of Delhi ”
Sid and Vishal, of Delhi By Foot, are exceptional tour guides. Never having been to India before, I would highly recommend their customized, culturally enriching tour of Delhi, sharing historical details of each site we visited. They were very prompt, courteous, accommodating, professional and so fun to be with. Our tour of Rajasthan was an experience filled with historical events, the guides were knowledgeable in every aspect we've certainly enjoyed the Authentic local cuisine throughout the day. Transportation was relaxing and comfortable, the only delay was it started to rain but no one can control the weather. They made sure that everyone in our group of nine was safe and provided drinks, snacks and umbrellas along the way. Again, would highly recommend DBF for a most enjoyable tour.

Our tour guide was incredibly kind and considerate throughout the entire experience. He struck the perfect balance between being helpful and respectful — never intrusive, but always attentive. His thoughtful and friendly manner made the tour both comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

“More than a Tour ”
I had the pleasure of spending the day with Sid & Vishal on a one day Delhi tour. I was picked up from the hotel, exactly as planned. They adjusted the tour and length to work for me and nothing was ever a hassle. Not only did they take you to the best spots to experience authentic Indian culture but safety and your wellbeing was their number 1 priority. Genuinely one of the safest I’ve ever felt on a tour and I’ve had plenty - plus I was on my own. Also, If you are looking to purchase anything Vishal is the man to get you a good deal. If you are thinking of hotel tours, I’d strongly suggest you consider Sid & Vishal. Not only save money but you’ll have a great time and come away feeling like you have made 2 new friends!

What a touching message Will...thank you :) From the moment we met it felt less like guiding a guest and more like spending the day with an old friend also Knowing that you felt safe and supported, truly warms our hearts. You now have a little family here in Delhi... Happy and safe travels ahead... Cheers Sid & Vishal.
