This was a great introduction to Delhi. I was picked up at my hotel early and met up with Jaidev in Old Delhi. We walked the streets and he pointed out some great photo opportunities. We experimented with panning and using the contours of the walls for interesting perspectives. I even got some shots of monkeys and a mongoose. Half way through, we started to sample food at several locations trying everything from samosas to cookies. I ate enough to skip dinner. They usually visit the spice market but construction made it hard to get to, so we skipped it (and my regular tour visited it the next day). I highly recommend the tour if you have a free day in Delhi.”

This was our best tour in India and gave us a much better insight into Old Delhi than the day tour provided by our tour group guide. Our guide, Jaidev, was fantastic, knowledgeable both about Delhi and photography. We met him at the station and then met up with a third tourist, a Canadian. During out introductions, he asked us what we hoped to get out of the tour. We started in the Jama Masjid area and walked through old havelas, now used as shops, selling everything from car spare parts and tools, spices and flowers.We stopped for delicious street food snacks at several places: poori, galub jamun, lassi, little cookies, chai etc, and found a Jain cafe particularly interesting - we had a cheese, mango, grape and strawberry sandwich they don't eat meat. We saw barbers shaving customers in the street and an ear cleaner at work. We saw workmen sitting in front of their tools waiting to be hired. Exciting rides by tuctuc gave us an opportunity for more street shots, and Jaidev gave us hints on how to improve our shots. We finished with more street food, but sadly we were too full to eat it all. Don't miss this tour, especially if you want to get some candid street shots and try the delicious street food.”

We had a wonderful day with our guide Shobhit. We ate fabulous, freshly cooked traditional foods. Shobhit showed us street vendors cooking the foods then we sampled some of the delicacies. As part of our trip we explored the many busy, bustling streets with Shobhit who guided us as to good photography sights. The smells were great when we entered the spice market! We had a fabulous day, thank you Shobhit!”
