“Must do as soon as you landed! ”
Being a guide myself I can say, that Ritesh makes just outstanding walkabouts! I got everything that I expected and even more. Good company, nice local food, hidden gems, history of the city and the places we visited. Ritesh was very attentive and kind to everyone. He added a real pinch of pepper in my tour, that was about to be ended the following day! Thank you so much, Ritesh! That was a really well done work (me as a guide saying) and just fabulous experience (me as a tourist claiming))

“Fantastic ”
Thank you Ritesh for maintaining the tour despite the bad weather conditions. Ritesh is a great guide, and I highly recommend the Old New Delhi tour with him. He speaks very good English, tells lots of explanations and stories about the country, and makes you discover the district from another angle. Ritesh is available and attentive, and above all you're sure to feel safe with him. A must-do tour!
