Everything from the pickup to the hotel drop off of the tour was very well arranged and organised by this company.The tour operator Asim A was very reachable all the time via WhatsApp. Our driver picked us up from the hotel and took us to Old Delhi where we met our tour guide Deepak. He was knowledgeable and funny. He also ensured I had a great experience.Had rickshaw ride around chandni chowk after visiting Jama Mosque,it was a great experience.Lunch was good and delicious, it was nice restaurant serving authentic Indian food. Afterwards visited Humayun’s ,Lotus Temple and Qutub Minar. Before trip ends, guide Deepak made ensure we visited all sites(Including Old and New Delhi) listed in our itinerary. I would definitely recommend this tour for first time travellers to Delhi.”

My driver Ajay was very prompt throughout the day. He would appear within a few minutes of my guide (Karni) calling for pickup from the various places we visited, and had fresh bottles of water ready and waiting. Karni ensured that I had plenty of time for photos and was full of really great information for each of the sites we travelled to. I payed for the “all inclusive” package and was pleased with the overall service. Karni took care of getting tickets, when needed, and always took me through an express line for entry. Lunch at Suribachi restaurant was delicious and more than I could eat: also included as part of my tour package. Our Rikshaw driver did a great job getting us through the narrow, crowded streets of Old Delhi- unfortunately the steel canopy supports on the Rikshaw aren’t tall enough for those of us that are taller than 6 feet so i had to bend my neck down/forward for most of the ride to reduce the number of time i hit my head ;) All in All, this tour was great and didn’t disappoint so I highly recommend it. Unfortunately my wife was unable to attend the tour due to illness the morning of the tour. After completing the tour, I requested a partial refund of her ticket and it was processed within minutes of my request! Great tour company with EXCELLENT staff !”

We had an 8 hour layover in Delhi and decided at the last minute to do some sightseeing. I booked A Star Tours the day before and was really impressed with the prompt service - they contacted me immediately via whatsapp and arranged to customize the normal 9 hour tour to for into a 5 hour window. Asim was an excellent host throughout - he was very flexible and incredibly professional, even as we were delayed at immigration. We had an excellent tour guide (Manu) who was very knowledgeable and articulate. If we did not have the benefit of his insights we would have missed much of the richness in the history of the sights we visited. I would highly recommend these guys. They managed our time brilliantly and in the end it felt like we'd got the best use out of our short time in Delhi. Thanks to the team at A Star tours.”

Excellent trip and fabulous guides. Would not hesitate to recommend. My group included my elderly grandparents and Asim and colleagues were fantastic with them, walking slowly etc. We went on circa 8 trips whilst in India and this was by far the best! Personable and knowledgeable guides who made us Brits feel completely comfortable throughout Old and New Delhi - just book this trip now!”

Throughout the tour, he was personable, friendly, funny, and informative.He took us to a restaurant that was very good and had wide variety of cuisine as well. Out of several tours I took in India, this was truly my favorite. Book this tour!”

Our guide, Manu, and driver did a wonderful job of hitting and explaining the highlights of Old New Delhi and then New Delhi. While fast paced, there was adequate time at each major stop to see, learn and ask questions. A very remarkable history with ancient sites. Manu was great. It is a long day, but we'll worth it. One fascinating note for us was the absence of women in old Delhi and our guide explained that the culture and religion dictates that women stay inside their homes. We felt safe and welcome everywhere.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our private tour with Yag as our guide. Yag was born and raised in Delhi, and it shows. He provided insights that we would not have otherwise gotten as outsiders. By the end of the tour, we were friends. Highlights of the tour include Jama Masjid, Qutub Minar, Humayun's Tomb, and the Red Fort. If you are looking for a comprehensive look into Old and New Delhi, this is the tour for you.”

Couldn't be better! Our driver met us at the Taj Palace Hotel promptly at the scheduled time. The driver took us to meet our guide, Ankush. It was clear within 5 minutes that Ankush clearly had a grasp of the sites of Delhi and that he was a professional. Our driver was just as pleasant and the air-conditioned vehicle a MUST during Delhi in June! was clean and cold. Ankush showed us the sites in Delhi in a planned and logical fashion. Our tour started at 9am and completed by 3p we skipped lunch. We have traveled all over Europe and had used Viator/Trip Advisor for many many tours. I can honestly say that with Ankush, the all-important backstory for the sites was throughly provided and making the tour feel complete. Anyone can simply point out sites and obvious architecture. Knowing and understanding the backstory for each site requires thorough knowledge of the subject. With Ankush this tour was a joy! Well-recommended!! A”

What a great day! My guide, Ankush, and driver, Sudish, were superb! It was nice to have their expert guidance around the city instead of trying to navigate it on my own, and both of them were very professional and easy to talk to. The booking agency was very accommodating as wellI was in Delhi for business and had to cut my tour short as a work obligation popped up. Ankush and Sudish helped me cram in as many sites as possible in just a few hours, and the agency manager even called to ask me if everything was okay with the tour and if I was ending early because of a problem! Highly recommended, and one day I hope to make it back to Delhi for the rest of the city tour.”

We enjoyed our tour with tour guide Ankush and driver Lal. This was our last tour in New Delhi and despite most of the monuments being closed on Mondays, we were able to see and experience a lot of different places. Ankush was very knowledeable and you could see his passion for the city. We were taken to the spice market and even a shop to sell local crafts. These were expected, however, we were not overly pressured into buying anything. As two females traveling in a foreign country, we felt safe the entire time. It was also nice that we were able to get picked up from our hotel and then dropped off at the airport to catch our outbound flight.”
