The experience

What makes a food tour worth a full day? When you're tasting 24-30 items from the oldest and most popular food shops across both Old Delhi and New Delhi, the variety justifies the time. You start in Old Delhi for street food and snacks, then move through different neighborhoods to sample the specializations that make each shop a local attraction. Your guide is a chef, not just someone who knows the route. Someone with intimate knowledge of what makes each place worth visiting and what to order when you get there.

The day unfolds across 12-15 stops, each one chosen for a reason. You'll taste food you can't find anywhere else, moving from one neighborhood's specialty to the next. Along the way, you pass through less-known attractions of the city that most visitors miss. If the timing works with availability, you can fit in an optional tea tasting session of around 20-30 minutes at no extra cost, where you taste and learn to appreciate some of India's best teas. Bottled water and snacks come with you throughout the day, so you're never without something to drink or a break between tastings.

Hotel pickup and drop-off within central Delhi are included, which means the day starts at your door and ends there too. If your hotel is outside central Delhi, you can arrange pickup for an additional cost at checkout. The tour runs 8 to 9 hours, so plan to be out for most of the day. Vegetarian options are available. Just let the operator know at booking if that's what you need, or mention any other dietary requirements.
