About Tour Guide Pooja C.
I have studied French in France, and I truly understand the culture and what people are looking for when they come to India. Speaking French, English, and Hindi allows me to connect deeply with my guests and help them feel comfortable from the very first moment.
I specialize in Delhi tours, especially Old Delhi, where the real soul of the city lives. I love taking people through narrow lanes, colorful local markets, hidden food spots, and places full of history and stories. From shopping the local way in Old Delhi to tasting authentic street food, every experience is carefully personalized.
For me, this is not just about guiding, it is about sharing my city with heart. I am more than a guide; I am a friend and a support, always there to help, explain, and take care of my guests. My goal is that when you leave Delhi, you don’t just take photos ,you take memories, emotions, and a feeling of connection with India.

Experience the magic of Delhi after sunset on an exciting guided motorcycle ride through the capital’s most iconic streets. As the city lights come alive, cruise through wide boulevards and historic avenues while witnessing beautifully illuminated landmarks such as India Gate, the grand ceremonial stretch of Kartavya Path, the vibrant colonial circle of Connaught Place. With cooler night air and quieter roads, this ride offers a completely different perspective of the city.
