Street Food at Chandni Chowk

You have never seen Delhi if you have not seen it through a Delhi-wallah's eyes. A trip to Delhi, the country's seat of power, is not complete until one experience the real essence of Delhi - the life at Old Delhi. Our Heritage walks through the galis of this historical part of the city promise to transform you to the days of the Mughals, when this part of Delhi was the most prominent in the whole country. Watch the past and the present come alive in front of your eyes in a city that boasts of a rich heritage. Our walks give a taste of the city and make you sink in the frenzy of its colours, vivacity and irresistible charm. Your senses come alive as you will encounter the many captivating sights and sounds this amazing city has. Walk through the bazars selling trinklets and accessories of all hues and colors, savor the spicy tangy flavors of the street food, shop for some of the best spices found in India, travel the length and breadth of Chandni Chowk in the best way to commute - by foot or by cycle-rickshaw. And not to mention the high point of the tour - a sumptuous royal lunch at an Old Haveli - those old private mansions where families have lived for centuries.

Join us on a Labor of Love, operated by Dhruv (Founder) or Anju (Co-founder) themselves to give the visitors to the city the most unforgettable moments of their life. We have different options for the tour, tailor made to suit your needs and interests - Full day tour leaving nothing out, Half day tour for those short of time and even private tours for smaller groups or families who wish to explore the charm of Old Delhi at their own pace.

Note: The price of USD 100 per person is for a Group Tour (up to 8 persons). By paying just an extra of USD 50 in all, you may have the opportunity to enjoy the private tour just for you & your family/friends

The frenzied activity at this charming old town might seem like madness to an outsider, but one look on the inside, and you will notice the method that prevails the madness. The heart of Delhi's unique culture, here your shopping hormones will go on an overdrive. Such is the magic of the artifacts on sale here. You can get everything - from a nose ring to a Mughlai wedding gown - or the Lehenga. Simple or grand enough to transport you directly to the inner chambers of Mughal queens.
