I've been working in the Travel and Tourism Industry for over 27 years. I have an MBA in International Business & Marketing, and I've successfully led startup initiatives, managed various projects, and become skilled in people management. Instead of becoming a pilot as my family expected, I chose to explore the world of Tourism. I started my journey in Delhi, a city with a family history in Civil Services and education. Combining my global travels, education, and diverse experiences, I wanted to change the tourism scene in India. When Delhi was losing its appeal to travelers, I introduced the idea of experiential tourism. I focused on making a distinction between tourists and travelers by offering unique walking and culinary tours. Leaving my position as Executive Vice President in a global organization to follow my passion wasn't easy. Even my family was skeptical. But I was determined to show authentic experiences to fellow travelers. In a testament to the resonance of this vision, two former bosses and cherished childhood friends—Raj, Anju, Vivian, and Varun—joined me in this mission, elevating it into a collective endeavor to champion experiential travel in India. My love for photography and travel inspires me to explore new places on foot, building connections with local communities. One of my favorite memories is crossing the equator during a trip to Kenya. As a team we strongly believe that locals are the true custodians of their neighborhoods. Rooted in Delhi, we are passionate about showcasing the city's rich heritage, vibrant culture, and delicious local food to our guests. Through carefully planned guided walks, we aim to provide immersive experiences that capture the essence of the city. With a deep passion and commitment to delivering exceptional experiences, we consider ourselves a valuable asset to the Travel and Tourism Industry. Our life's work is proof of the transformative power of immersive tourism, and we hope our journey inspires others to follow their hearts. I've won several accolades for my focused efforts while working for more than two decades in the Travel & Tourism Industry. I was also recognized and received a SPECIAL RECOGNITION AWARD in Dec 2004 at Los Angeles, California. I have also been trained at LSG Sky Chef in Hong Kong and Tokyo Flight Kitchen in Japan while setting up catering department for Japan Airlines in India. Have been awarded Traveler's Choice 2022 Award with Top 10 Best of the Best Experiences in Asia, among 10 BEST EXPERIENCES IN INDIA and Best of The Best Around the World by one of the largest travel sites in the world. This latest award is a further recognition and appreciation of the high quality of my tours and customer satisfaction. Was earlier awarded us the Certificate of Excellence 2013 to 2020 with 5 stars rating for eight consecutive years and am in their Hall of Fame for the last two consecutive years. Was also recognized by the Minister of Tourism as The Best Walking Tour Company in India I do not work as guide or an escort, I work as local friend. Hence, do not offend me by offering tips. I am passionate native Indian friend, who love to share my passion and love for my city.

My Old Delhi tours are a combination of Food, Heritage & culture with walking and a cycle rickshaw ( Pedi cab) ride to make a comfortable experience in Old Delhi. It is off the eaten/beaten path and a feast for all the senses. It is a once in a life time experience. Experience a Heritage & Bazaar walk, enjoy Cycle Rickshaw Ride, visit Dariba Kalan (the silver market) and Kinari Bazar (the wedding market) and when in India you can't leave without visiting its magnificent temples, and spice market, also I would be a bad host if I let you go without trying some great street foods delicacies. Disengage yourself from the rest of the world and discover the taste of the city with us on this tour. It will make you sync in the frenzy of its colors, vivacity and irresistible charm. Feel the pulse of the city by being as a part with the locals, understanding it while you walk the bazaar and its neighborhood which has rich culture value and history.
You will experience: - Heritage & Bazaar walk, - Cycle Rickshaw Ride, - Dariba Kalan (the silver market), - Kinari Bazar (wedding market), - Hindu / Sikh Temple, - Spice Market, - Some street food tasting for those who feel adventurous, or lunch at a local restaurant, visiting few hidden treasures, local home AND complimentary traditional meal in a haveli (an Old Private Mansion in the old city in which single family is living from generations) and company of English Speaking Local Friend cum Photographer and free online photo album of your entire tour as a gift for your memories! What to wear: Because of little conservative society in Old Delhi - Ladies, please dress modestly (wear dress which cover your shoulders and your legs below the knees), Please ensure you are carrying cap for adequate protection against the sun. Usually you have to take off footwear to visit Indian houses, but check with your host as this rule may apply only to some areas of the house.
