We had Rahul taking us around on a tour round the markets and on a food tour and it was amazing. We really enjoyed the food.

I had an amazing food tour in Old Delhi with Rahul. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, the history, and the food culture. What really stood out was that he knew all the best local spots to visit — places I never would have found on my own. Every stop felt authentic and well chosen. The tour was a great mix of delicious food, local stories, and exploring the hidden side of Old Delhi. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Delhi!

Loved this food tour & would definitely reccomend it to anyone visiting Delhi. We were only in Delhi for a very short stay so we wanted to have an experience where we could try multiple local foods in a short time. This was the perfect choice. Rahul was friendly, easy going and we believe he could make anyone feel comfortable. His reccomendations were truly local & without him, we would have never knew to try the dishes we did. He took into consideration bringing us to shops that only cooked live to ensure the cleanliness of the food. He also carefully planned aread- making reservations at stores that wo as popular so that we didn't have to wait in line. In addition to his lovely food reccomendations, he also gave us insight to local life. We talked about politics, social life, marriage and careers, something we haven't been able to do with a local. It felt like talking to a friend. The tour left our bellies full and our hearts warm.

Our tour was amazing! Rahul was so informative and took us to the best local spots. I would 100% recommend this to anyone coming to delhi. It was very inexpensive and was some of the best food we have ever had. Rahul also helped us with booking train tickets and getting us back to our hotel. Couldn't recommend this enough!!!

If you want to try street food in India, it's natural to have some concerns as a tourist. However, during this tour I always felt that we only stopped at places where the food could be enjoyed with confidence. The guide was genuinely very kind and even helped me a lot with a credit card issue at an ATM. Thank you for this enjoyable and delicious tour.

Such an amazing experience exploring the food market in Old Delhi. All the food spots were delicious, we tried things I found never picked myself. He explained everything and showed us his favorite spots and gave us a taste of how people in Delhi eat. He also recorded everything so we have plenty of memories to look back at. It was so good we are going again today.

Rahul was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment we met, he made it clear he wasn't just our guide but our local friend, and he truly lived up to that. He is incredibly kind, warm, and genuinely passionate about sharing India and Delhi. His knowledge of the city and the food scene is outstanding, and he made the entire experience feel personal, effortless, and unforgettable. I could not recommend him more highly.

We loved it. We booked this tour at our first day in Delhi. It was the best choice we could've made because this way we could immediately experience what Delhi is all about! We are vegetarians, this was no problem for Rahul. He made sure we ate very good food! Thank you for this great evening!

Rahul is truly fantastic guy. He showed us around many local restaurants each one with a different signature dish. I didn't expect the food to be so good! I really recommend this tour to discover some special places and try our flavours and dishes that would be hard to find without a true local help Thanks again to Rahul 🙏🏻

Rahul war ein toller Guide. Er hat zu jedem Gericht etwas erzählt und mich zu Orten gebracht wo ich ganz bestimmt nicht von selbst gelandet wäre. Er hat mir auch geholfen Fotos und Videos zu machen.

Rahul is a fantastic guide, he took us to a variety of food vendors including snacks, main dishes, drinks & deserts. We finished the tour very well fed and educated in Delhi cuisine - we found & tried so much more than we would have on our own.

Rahul was an excellent guide for this tour. He gave great tips and designed and selected everything in a very personalized way, as I am vegan. Through him, I learned a lot about local food and life that I would never have experienced on my own. We met great people at the street stalls and had a lot of fun. At the end of the tour, my expectations were exceeded, as we left feeling like we had gone from being strangers to being friends. Anyone who wants to get to know an authentic Delhi should do this tour. Rahul knows the corners very well and tells great anecdotes and stories.

We stopped at lots of different stalls and had plenty of choice to pick from. Most of the food was cooked fresh in front of us. It was really interesting and the food was delicious. Our guide Rahul was really friendly and spoke very good English.

One of the best things to do in Delhi. Rahul is lovely, like going out with a friend. He took us on a magical, delicious explosion of flavours tour. Wish we had done the tour earlier in our Delhi stay then we would have had the courage to try the street food alone. There is a lot to try so go for the small portions or share.

It was great to have a guide to help us navigate the Old Delhi food scene, we certainly wouldn't have felt confident doing it ourselves. The options and amount of people were overwhelming. I personally would prefer for the food and drink to be included in the price, as getting my money out constantly in the crowds made me anxious, but the tours that provided this weren't available later in the evening like this was. Having said this, Rahul gave no pressure for us to try things, so it felt personalised. I think it'd be perfect for people with varying appetites. And most importantly, all of the food we tried was great.

It was the best local food tour ever! We were able to try a variety of local foods that we would never have dared to try on our own. It was also wonderful to learn about the culture and history behind the dishes! I really appreciated being able to eat only what we wanted and skip some items if we were too full. Our guide, Rahul was such a friendly person full of energy and humor, making the four-hour tour incredibly enjoyable. He was also professional with photos and videos, allowing us to share many cherished memories. Because it was a private tour, we could have deep conversations about each other's cultures and our recent interests, which made for truly memorable moments. For anyone visiting Delhi, I highly recommend this private food tour. It's guaranteed to let you experience Indian culture in its truest sense!

We have had a great experience during the food tour! In total we were a group of 3 (and our guide Rahul ofcourse). Rahul took us for about 4 hours to the nicest and tasties places in Old Delhi. We are a bit hesitant to eat chicken in India as we want to prevent the Delhi belly, but he assured us that everything was fine. And we are glad that we did, because WOW, the food was amazing!!! I think we went to 15-20 places and tried a lot. Rahul is also a very nice guide that will give you not only nice insights, but is also nice to talk with :) Highly recommended!!

Rahul was a knowledgeable guide and we chatted not just food but also history of India, traditions, and what it's like living and working in Delhi. The food options were diverse and we also did some additional sightseeing! I did get some stomach aches the next day but hard to tell the cause!

Ich hatte das Vergnügen, eine private Tour mit Rahul durch Old Delhi zu machen. Rahul hat mir viel über die Geschichte und Kultur der Gegend erzählt. Besonders begeistert hat mich die Möglichkeit, außergewöhnliche und köstliche Speisen zu probieren, die mir ein echtes Geschmackserlebnis bescherten.

One of the best tours we have done. Communication was efficient from the start. Rahul is an amazing and friendly tour guide who taught us so much and has so much passion for what he does. The tour doesn't include the food cost which gives you the option to try what you wish at a fair price, but was also no pressure at all to buy extra things, also helps if you are in a group as allows you to share food to avoid waste. The food was really great and we had the opportunity to try food we never would have done without Rahul. We learnt the history of each of the vendors, many going back 3 generations. If you are in Delhi this tour is not to be missed! Thank you again Rahul, all the best.

Rahul gave a great experience around the streets of Old Delhi and took me to some really exceptional places that I would not have been able to find on my own. The butter chicken was the highlight for me. He is very friendly and happy to talk about anything in Delhi, or anything at all as he is a very knowledgeable character. I would certainly recommend this tour.

We had an unforgettable experience on the Delhi Street Food Tour, all thanks to our amazing guide, Rahul! From the moment we met him, he made us feel welcome with his warm personality and friendly attitude. Rahul not only knew the best spots for authentic and delicious street food but also shared fascinating stories behind each dish and place. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable, happy, and fully immersed in the experience. The food was out of this world, and Rahul's recommendations never missed! He made the whole tour feel like hanging out with a friend who just happens to know all the local secrets. If you're looking for a unique and fun way to explore Delhi's street food scene, this tour with Rahul is a must-do. Highly recommended!

A very nice authentic tour through the streets of old Delhi. Rahul is a very friendly and open-minded guide who takes you to typical Indian food stalls and restaurants. We had great food and great conversations. Thank you.

Rahul guided us through the Chawri Bazar area, pointing out the best food in the area. This would have been impossible for us to do on our own. We were deeply impressed by the delicious taste of the butter chicken, and many deserts we had never before heard about. It's really a completely different and enjoyable way to explore Delhi and it's ccuisine. We recommend it to everyone who wants to go beyond the standard restaurants.

We both had an amazing time. Rahul showed us around all the best spots and we ended up trying loads of food we would have not tried otherwise. He also told us a lot about the history of each place which we also wouldn't have known. Could not recommend this tour enough!!
