Nehru Place fabric market is not to be missed! Highly recommend this tour!!
Fantastic fabric tour - guide and driver picked me up right on time and took me to a lovely fabric store and the mindbogglingly enormous Nehru Place fabric market. I have never, ever seen so much fabric or so many notions. A truly heroic amount of fabric was purchased. Guide was terrific, even stopped for a delicious paratha on the way back. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Dear Vivian, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! A "heroic amount of fabric" made us smile, we're glad Nehru Place lived up to its reputation! Your guide and driver were delighted to hear it, and the paratha stop sounds like the perfect finishing touch. We hope to welcome you back to Delhi soon! Warm regards, Alish

Perfect afternoon
Perfect afternoon with Fahreen and our driver Aman showing us the textiles in new Delhi.. what a nice way to start our Indian experience. Yes we got measured by very polite and attentive staff in the fabric store and are having a couple of garments made ... to be delivered ered to our hotel tomorrow evening. Would recommend the sights and the tuk tuk ride was a blast!

Highly recommended!
I had so much fun shopping with Farheen! She helped me select fabrics and tailors, negotiated prices, and made my overall shopping experience absolutely wonderful. As a woman traveling alone, I felt safe with Farheen and her driver. I highly recommend this tour. Hire her! You will be glad you did.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Fabric Trail: Secret Textile Markets & Bespoke Tailoring Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.
How much does The Fabric Trail: Secret Textile Markets & Bespoke Tailoring Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $50 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 The Fabric Trail: Secret Textile Markets & Bespoke Tailoring Tour take?
+
Plan for about 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 The Fabric Trail: Secret Textile Markets & Bespoke Tailoring Tour 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 5 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 The Fabric Trail: Secret Textile Markets & Bespoke Tailoring 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 The Fabric Trail: Secret Textile Markets & Bespoke Tailoring Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Fabric Trail: Secret Textile Markets & Bespoke Tailoring Tour?
+
Around 2 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Fabric Trail: Secret Textile Markets & Bespoke Tailoring 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.

Not included: Any Meals and Drinks; Any form of Personal Expenses; and Tips and Gratuities to the Shopping Consultant & Driver. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
