We had a great time exploring the sights of Delhi. Our guide Vijay was a wealth of knowledge. He did a fab job sharing with us the rich ancient as well as more recent history of the capital and the landmarks visited. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Those are New Delhi most famous tourist sites , definitely worth your time if you are sight seeing and want to learn more about this ancient city
<p>Tour guides very friendly and knowledgeable, no issues</p>
<p>I was picked up by a driver and guide at my hotel at the appointed time. My tour guide was knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. The gardens were a refreshing reprieve from the busy, noisy city. We walked leisurely through the gardens and the buildings as he spoke of the history of the buildings. At Akshardham, he explained in detail the construction, customs and purpose of the buildings. We had a delightful authentic Indian meal, including a soda for me. We stayed and watched the evening water and light show that was Disney-worthy. I was returned to my hotel at the expected time.</p>
<p>It was a great experience. Great guide and really enjoyed the sound and light show!</p>
<p>Guide was promptly on time for the pickup from our hotel at 1PM. The first place that he took us to was the Gurudwarda Bangla Sahib and then to the Lakshmi Temple. At that point, the guide asked if we wanted to see the Cottage Industries. I asked what about the Humayun Tomb and walking in the Lodhi Garden. The guide told me that it was to late to go to the Humayan Tomb as it was on the other side of the city and closed at 5PM. The Tomb was near our hotel. I then realized that while the guide was knowledgeable about what he showed us, he did not know the itinerary that we booked. We specifically booked the Mughal Heritage tour because Mughal sites were not covered in the tour of India that we were starting the next day. We did get to the Akshardham Temple and its Chaat snack and Light and Water show. We had the snack before the Light and Water show. I recommend that anyone taking the tour also have the snack before the Light and Water show to avoid getting back to their hotel to late. As it was, we were returned to our hotel at 8PM, seven hours after we started.</p>
