About this experience
Join me on an immersive walk navigating the narrow bylanes of Old Delhi - a treat for history and food lovers, a delight for all the five senses. This heritage walk is a recollection of my childhood growing up in Chandni Chowk - its many tastes, sounds, and smells, that linger fresh in my memory. I grew up in Chandni Chowk, but left Delhi at the age of 14 on an academic scholarship to Singapore. I travelled as a student to almost 20 countries across 3 continents. I am passionate about history and cultural exchange and love hosting people from different parts of the world. In this thoughtfully curated walk, you will discover and witness Delhi's syncretic culture and past. Together, we will uncover the complexity of India and its various layers of history from the Mughals to the British.

The most fantastic food tour, cultural lesson, and immersive experience
Akshay made our holiday and opened our eyes to a side of Delhi we’d have missed entirely. We reminisce fondly of our tour, recall the stories of the history of the city with our friends, and had the most wonderful time.

Magical Old Delhi
We are delighted that we chose Akshay to be our guide. He really made our tour of Old Delhi into something special. He has a keen interest in history and weaves historical facts with poetry and tales of his youth living in the area. Walking with him meant we were able to meet people we wouldn't have met alone, ate food we wouldn't have tasted and had a truly memorable encounter with magical Old Delhi.

Wonderful experience.
I've been living in delhi, but visits to old delhi have always been few and far between. This heritage walk showed me the history of old delhi was brought forth in poetic beauty and detail. Ghalibs Haveli, and the malai sandwhiches were my favorite stops. Honestly everything in old delhi seems incredible, any pause on the walk was filled with so many stories and anecdotes. Im not even fond of walking, but i did not realise where the hour went. Loads of fun. Ive been recommending this experience to everyone now.

Amazing experience in Delhi!
Had the most wonderful time today! Despite living in Delhi my whole life, and having been to Old Delhi quite a few times before this, never had I experienced my Delhi like this before. Akshay is a master storyteller, who adds personal touches all throughout the tour. He is well versed with the area, and knows all the hidden gems of Delhi-6. Especially loved how he beautifully recited one of Ghalib's poems for us. Thank you, Akshay. I would totally recommend this tour to anyone who wants to fall in love with Delhi! Pro tip: go on an empty stomach because there is lots and lots to try.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Old Delhi Heritage and Street Food Walk with a Local: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.
How much does Old Delhi Heritage and Street Food Walk with a Local cost?
+
Prices start at $1800 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 Old Delhi Heritage and Street Food Walk with a Local take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Old Delhi Heritage and Street Food Walk with a Local worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Old Delhi Heritage and Street Food Walk with a Local?
+
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 Old Delhi Heritage and Street Food Walk with a Local suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 14. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Old Delhi Heritage and Street Food Walk with a Local?
+
Around 3 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Old Delhi Heritage and Street Food Walk with a Local 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 Private Tour By AC Car From Delhi with 5* Meal, Taj Mahal & Agra Fort Private Day Trip From Delhi with 5* Lunch, Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Baby Taj Day Tour from Delhi by Car. 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.
