The Experience

You start with a briefing and a traditional Old Delhi breakfast (or evening snacks, depending on which time slot you choose), then move through the lanes on foot and by rickshaw. The route takes you to Khari Baoli, one of the oldest spice markets in the city, where you stop for tea and hear stories about Old Delhi and its people. From there you explore traditional market areas, trying dishes at each stop, then walk through one of the most beautiful lanes in the old city—lined with nine historic mansions and ending at an optional free visit to one of the oldest Jain temples.

The tour ends at Chandni Chowk, Old Delhi's most famous square, where you eat more food and take in the energy of the place before leaving. Your guide is a local who knows the heritage and the food traditions, speaking English throughout. You choose between vegetarian or non-vegetarian when you book, and the operator asks in advance if you have any food allergies. Bottled water and snacks are included, and the rickshaw or tuk-tuk rides between stops are part of the package.

Is this one for you?Choose the morning vegetarian option if you want a traditional Old Delhi breakfast to start your day, or the evening non-vegetarian option if you have a free afternoon and prefer snacks and a longer food walk through the markets. Either way, the rickshaw rides and fixed route mean you're not navigating the old city's lanes on your own or figuring out where to eat—the guide handles the pacing and the stops.
