Good performance, but tour guide needs improvement
Let me start with the good things. The museum and performing arts center was fabulous. The musicians and dancers were great. The food was great too. Now let me talk about the bad. My Tour guide did not seem to know where he was going. He kept having to stop and ask for directions. As a tour guide you should know where you are and know where exactly where you’re going if you’re taking a tour. I also felt unsafe as we walked down an alley where two people were having a drag down fight right in front of me. The tour guide kept looking around like he was trying to figure out where we were. It didn’t make me confident that we were in a safe place. I was relieved when we finally found our driver.
Response from the operator: Dear Mr Eric Many thanks for your valuable feedback and we are happy to know that you really liked the classical performance,dane and food. We perfectly understand your concern about mapping the old town with our guide. Kindly note, the tour is operated at a real historic wonder located deep inside the labyrinth of the old town. 400 year ago, The old town alleys and bylanes were indeed designed to keep the invaders and outsiders at bay. The maize like labyrinth indeed overwhelm the first time visitors, our guide definitely knew where he was going, sometimes he was looking for the best route to take you out of the labyrinths. Guests safety is our prime concern and we very much take care of that. Many thanks for your valuable feedback

A brilliant cultural experience in Old Delhi
I booked this through GetYourGuide. I didn't know what to expect. But wow! I was blown away. This was possibly the highlight of my time in India. Visiting the two beautifully-restored havelis was so inspiring, and the perfect venue to see amazing Kathak dance and beautifully-performed music on sitar and tabla. The lunch was great, the museum was filled with fascinating objects. It was a fabulous experience. Jai was great at communicating in the days leading up to the event. It turned out I was the sole participant, so I got a lot of personalized information. I loved everything about this, and I hope both Jai's tour and the Kathika Cultural Centre & Museum have much success.
Response from the operator: Dear Mr Galloway It was a pleasure to serve you in Old Delhi. Many thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to post the review. We feel honoured to know that we were able to match your expectations during your tour. Hope to see you again Best regards Jai Singh Discover Activities

Most special day of my India trip was in a secret heritage Haveli
Our guide took us into a labyrinth of the old town and suddenly a breathtakingly beautiful historic Haveli appeared in front of us. The Moment we entered we saw a lot of ancient artifacts carefully displayed inside the haveli, Soon we were sitting inside the air conditioned haveli. There were 02 classical musicians playing "Tabla" and "Sarangi" in tandem, after 30 minutes, we were now experiencing a mesmerising "Kathak" dance performance. The classical dancer literally told us stories with her eyes and movements while dancing with so much grace, I felt completely drawn in. Since there was anoverall gathering of only 8-10 persons, the dance performance was intimate and beautiful, it was not like a big theatrical/stage performance. Later we were served local delicious vegetarian food too, Typical familiar Old Delhi flavors were presented in such a unique way. Our guide gave us a great and friendly company all the time, right from the lanes leading upto the hidden haeli and till we boarded our car again, after leading us out of the labyrinths.
Response from the operator: Buongiorno Ms Chiara It was an honour to show you the hidden heritage gems of Delhi. Many thanks for the kind words of appreciation and time taken to post the review. We feel honoured to know that we were able to match your expectations during your tour. Hope to see you again Best regards Jai Singh Discover Activities

Safe, courteous and knowledgeable. RECOMMENDED!!
Jai was a very knowledgeable and kind guide. He picked us up from our hotel on time and showed us a side to Old Delhi we had never seen before. He was courteous and was very interesting. He showed us hidden walkways, spice market and a cycle rickshaw ride. Absolutely recommend!!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Delhi's Arts, Dance, Music, History, Food and Heritage Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.
How much does Delhi's Arts, Dance, Music, History, Food and Heritage Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $55 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New Delhi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Delhi's Arts, Dance, Music, History, Food and Heritage Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New Delhi is not rushed.
Is Delhi's Arts, Dance, Music, History, Food and Heritage Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New Delhi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Delhi's Arts, Dance, Music, History, Food and Heritage Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Delhi's Arts, Dance, Music, History, Food and Heritage Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Delhi's Arts, Dance, Music, History, Food and Heritage Tour?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New Delhi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New Delhi and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Delhi's Arts, Dance, Music, History, Food and Heritage Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New Delhi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New Delhi?
+
On Outty we rank every New Delhi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Taj Mahal & Agra Fort Private Day Trip From Delhi with 5* Lunch, 5 Nights 6 Days Private Golden Triangle Tour - Delhi Agra Jaipur, Old & New Delhi Private City Tour – Traveler’s Choice (Top Rated). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New Delhi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New Delhi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Delhi's Arts, Dance, Music, History, Food and Heritage Tour?
+

Does Delhi's Arts, Dance, Music, History, Food and Heritage Tour include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Delhi's Arts, Dance, Music, History, Food and Heritage Tour offered in?
