“Excellent Guide!”
Mohit was incredibly friendly and always went out of his way to do his best for us, which made us feel very comfortable and, above all, safe. The guide was truly excellent! He does his job with passion and is extremely knowledgeable! A huge thank you to Mohit; we highly recommend this tour.

“Delhi Excursion with Sid & Vishna ”
This excursion was truly one of a kind. A full-spectrum experience of Delhi’s rhythm, from its spiritual calm to its vibrant chaos. What stood out most was the teamwork between Vishna and Sid. They have this kick-ass synergy, ensuring we were comfortable throughout and guiding us with clarity on how to conduct ourselves in each setting, whether at a temple, market, or historical site. The day had this incredible dynamic tension between beauty and chaos. One moment we were soaking in the serene atmosphere of a Sikh temple, and the next we were immersed in the chaotic energy of Chandni Chowk. It was the kind of contrast that makes Delhi unforgettable. A special highlight was how the excursion ended. It provided a space to fully disconnect. No screens, no rush, just presence. That mindful closure tied the entire experience together beautifully. Overall, the entire experience was beautifully organized, deeply thoughtful, and carried out by two guides who clearly know what they’re doing. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience Delhi in all its richness.

“A perfect day!!!”
Everything was handled very professionally AND very personally & individually from start to finish. The booking process, communication beforehand, hotel pickup, and the entire day’s experience were all seamless and well organized. Sid and Vishu are two great guys. At all times, we felt completely in good hands. They showed us a lot, explained everything clearly, and ensured our safety throughout. Plus, we shared many laughs together. Unfortunately, we only had one day in Delhi. We would have loved to spend much more time with them!
