Delhi Shopping Tour: Private Female Consultant & Custom Markets

Summary

Shop Delhi’s textile lanes, Khan Market cafés and artisan corners with expert guidance

You’ll wander Delhi’s colorful markets with your own female shopping consultant—bargain for textiles in Chandni Chowk, pause for street snacks or chai breaks, try on custom outfits at Khan Market boutiques. Expect laughter over bargaining tips and time to soak up the city’s pulse—plus hotel pickup so you can just focus on what catches your eye.

What’s the experience like?

I opened my eyes to the hum of Old Delhi — horns somewhere far off, but closer, just the clatter of rickshaw wheels and that thick smell of spice and incense. My guide, Priya, met me right at my hotel lobby. She asked what I was hoping to find (wedding stuff? gifts? something for myself?) and scribbled notes on her phone. I liked that she didn’t rush me. We set off for Chandni Chowk first — I’d heard stories about it being overwhelming, but honestly, having Priya there made it feel more like wandering with a friend who knew all the shortcuts.

The lanes were tight and busy — fabric brushing my arms as we squeezed through. Every few steps someone called out deals or waved silk scarves in our faces. Priya steered us into a quieter alley lined with tiny jewelry shops; she knew which ones had fixed prices and which were up for bargaining (she even taught me how to say “too expensive” in Hindi — I probably butchered it). There was this moment when we stopped for chai at a stall; the cup was hot against my palms, sweet and spicy, while outside the world kept moving fast. It felt oddly peaceful.

Later we drove out to Khan Market — totally different vibe: clean sidewalks, glass storefronts, people sipping coffee in sunlit cafés. I tried on a linen kurta in one boutique while Priya chatted with the tailor about quick alterations (apparently you can get custom stitching done in just a few hours here). We took a break for samosas and tea before heading back. Honestly, by then my feet were tired but my bag was full — block prints, some silver earrings, little gifts I hadn’t planned on buying but couldn’t resist.

I still think about that chai break in Chandni Chowk sometimes — how easy it was to just sit there and watch life swirl past. If you’re after a private customized Delhi shopping tour that feels both local and relaxed (and don’t want to get lost in the crowds), this is probably it.
