Of course there was a spice shop visit included in the market, but this didn't really take time away from the most interesting parts.

We highly recommend this Pioneer tour to Viator and TripAdvisor clients.

Great communication and experience

Kaitlin_O, Jul 2022

The communication to book the tour was really fantastic- from the initial booking to making different modifications to accommodate our group, the communication was excellent. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and we saw a lot of different parts of Delhi.

Great layover tour

Oskaras_V, Jul 2022

I had a 15-hour layover in Delhi and this was a great way to spend the time. I opted for a private tour, and it was very good. Gautam (the guide) and Balbeer (the driver) were excellent. The tour was very informative and Gautam always asked if I would like to know more. I was very jet-lagged but I still remember a lot. I was not interested in shopping (e.g. spices, silk or rugs) and they were respectful and were not trying to push me into buying anything. Balbeer met me at the airport and dropped me off, which made the tour hassle-free. Both the driver and the guide were very polite and courteous.

Excellent

Malini_K, Jul 2022

We had an excellent time during this tour. Our tour guide was Gautham Grover and our chaffeur was Balbir Singh. They both were really amazing and very patiently showed us around Delhi. They went the extra mile to be accommodating and also did a really good job keeping my kids engaged and entertained. If you want to look around Delhi in a day, this is your tour and Gautham Grover should be your tour guide.

Fantastic hosting by Gautam Grover, very knowledgeable and made everything easy. Driving by Mr Naval was also very good. Kept us safe. Amazing sights and sounds. Highly recommended

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Highly satisfied!!

Suzanne_H, Jun 2022

Very memorable experience of Old and New Delhi. We loved seeing all the monuments, especially the Lotus Temple. Our tour guide Gautam was incredible! He was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. My mum was feeling unwell and Gautam went out of his way to buy medicine so she felt better. He was very patient and considerate with her, making sure that we were not in the sun for too long and personalising our trip based on our interest. As per our request, he took us to a Kashmir Emporium where we looked at carpets, scarfs and art. We also enjoyed Old Delhi and the experience of sitting in bikes and seeing the spice market. Gautam was very generous with his time and always wanted to make sure that we were happy at all times. We were very grateful for this! Highly recommend!!

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Harpreet_K, Jun 2022

The guide who shared details about the places and his care towards the guests made us feel highly comfortable and safe. His flexibility towards the trip to make us feel good is also commendable.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

It was just amazing !!

Sandeep_S, Jun 2022

Both the driver and guide did their job well. The guide Gaurav was knowledgeable and knew the inn's and outs of the Monuments we visited. I enjoyed the tour and was happy with the pictures he took for me. The driver kept on asking me for water bottles because of the extreme heat. I would say I had the best experience with Pioneer Holidays and their team even though I had many trips before,this was by far the best. I would recommend this tour to everyone and would ask everyone to wear light cloths in summer.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Things went very well cheers

Munil_S, May 2022

Things went as planned and I was happy with the service and professionalism of both the driver and guide. The tour company organised the tour accordingly to my preference and I got a chance to explore each and every site as mentioned. The driver was informative about the trip and we met our guide Manu on the way to qutub Minar. The guide was always helping me with pictures and even helped me in the crowded lanes of Old Delhi. The best experience I had was at the jama masjid and chandi chok area where I bought some spices for my restaurant and even got to taste the local cuisine of Delhi. I would recommend Manu and Pioneer Holidays to all and would be happy to come back to explore this with my family.

A very good day in Dehli!

Sophie_B, May 2022

This private tour of Dehli was very good and perfect for a lone female traveller. I would not have visited all these places with so much ease if I had wanted to do it on my own because of the craziness of Dehli. My tour guide Manu was very pleasant and knowledgable about his city. He told me many interesting and informatives tales about each places we visited, always willing to go the extra mile if I wanted to. The driver (Balnir?) was also very pleasant and gentleman like mannered. His driving was smooth and peaceful despite the heavy traffic and the madness of the roads. Well done! The meal at lunch time was in a nice place and tasty if you like Indian food. Overall a nice day in a 43°C weather, thank God for the air con car in between places!!!

Best Experience so Far

Afzal_M, May 2022

It's been a fun trip for me with Pioneer Holidays and team. The guide Gautam was by far the best guides I came across,he knew everything about the Monuments and had his cool even in the extreme heat of Delhi. Gautam made sure I was comfortable and did offer me drinks in the tour. The journey was amazing, it was both educational as well as fun. The team at Pioneer did their best to get this 5 stars from me. Highly recommend this tour for everyone if they want to visit Delhi city.

Response from Host, May 2022

Not recommended

Bhavna_J, May 2022

We have had the same company for the Agra trip and it was amazing. Apparently , we did not get the same experience in the Delhi guided tour. I had to ask the guide "What is this" or "What is that" in trip and then he replied. The information we got about the monuments was only: - when it was built - built by who We were not given the infos about the material used or the architecture of the monument or the story behind it (Except for 2 monuments that we covered in the morning: Qutub Minar & Rashtrapati Bhavan: These two monuments were well explained). The informations were given so little that the whole tour ended in 5 hours only. At the end we actually asked the guide and the driver to drop us at the restaurant and leave because the tour was ended already. Although, the guide stayed and waited for us and finally dropped us at the hotel. After the tour was finished, I asked to see the famous street shopping of Delhi but he brought us to a touristic shopping place where there are 10 vendors and not one single buyer in that shop. When the guide realized that we understood what kind of place that was then he recommended places to go for shopping verbally. I would have appreciated if he would have done that in the first place. Positive points about this trip: - The guide was respectful - The driver was respectful - Courtesy of staying until the drop off location Negative points about this trip: - Lack of content in the knowledge of the guide - Lack of initiative of the guide to tell us the story of Delhi - Lack of guiding the tourist to good locations of street shopping In general, the tour was not as good as we have expected. Our expectations were set high because of the great guided tour given at Agra by Pioneers Holiday which was half the price of the Delhi tour.

Thank you for your kind feedback. This was the first time any customer had a bad experience with us. We never wanted you to have such kind of experience. We have learned from it and we will continue to serve our excellent services to other travelers. We will also make sure it won’t be repeated again.

Highly recommend to those who are 1st time in Delhi!

Wonferful Delhi Tour

Ariana_G, Apr 2022

Our driver, Naval, was very skilled on the road. I cannot imagine trying to drive in India, but it was quite nice, he would even point out thing to see as we picked up our guide & as he dropped us back off at our hotel. Our guide was Sunil Poddar & he was very knowledgeable about the various sites. He also gave kind advice & was very patient if we did not understand something. Even when I spent far too long drooling over the various handicrafts at India Loom, Sunil was in no rush & made sure we saw everything we wanted to. Both Sunil & Naval were wonderful to share the day with, I certainly recommend them for your tour of Old & New Delhi. My only complaint is that it was rather difficult to find how to leave this review on viator as it was only available through the mobile app and not online. Even when i googled my results said i couldnt leave a review on viator abd instead i should on trip advisor...

I did the day tour of old and New Delhi with Gaurav Kashyap. He was a great tour guide and provided useful information about each of the sites. He answered all my questions and I enjoyed his company. The driver Naval was also great! The tour is well planned and gives your a sense of the major sites. A good way to spend the day in Delhi.
