About this experience
Now shall I walk or shall I ride? 'Ride,' Pleasure said; 'Walk,' Joy replied.”
Come and have fun with us on our Walking Tour! We will be seeing some heritage sites, ruins of old palaces, narrow by lanes, bustling bazaars, old forgotten havelis with long history, bullock carts, local craftsmen, old women with rosaries in their hands, masala chai vendors, marigold flowers .....and the list is endless. The route has been planned painstakingly, with the help of experts in the field of history to include some prominent sites and some hidden wonders. We will also be sampling the popular street food of Old Delhi. Another key feature which makes our walk different is the wireless Audio Head Sets provided to each guest to enable them to listen to uninterrupted live commentary given by the tour guide. Your local guide will also be showing you the ‘Then & Now’ pictures and share some interesting stories while you will be soaking the city.
