Experience Delhi with a friend
The tour with Raj was exactly what I was looking for : I came to Delhi alone on a business trip but still wanted to connect with people and experience Delhi . When I contacted Raj he told me , it will be like he is my Indian friend, and this is exactly how it was. The group was small and very nice , we had an amazing experience and did a lot of fun stuff. Raj was very open to our ideas and wishes , so we created a unique tour for us. It was so good that we booked another trip to Taj Mahal with him afterwards , which was also really great 💕 10/10 can recommend

Round experience, fun and knowledge
Every tour with Raj is a great decision. He really cares about having the information, the contacts, the best spots... but the key to having a great experience is his character. He makes you feel at home, it feels you are meeing with a local friend of yours. He is a joly person, lively character and very chatty who will be active and entertaining you during the whole visit with all sort of curious data, so u understand the place and how its culture merges with it. The food tour was great. Visiting Chandni chowk without worrying about food choices is a relief, as for the fact that he will also take u to clean toilets if needed, and I'm telling you, that is a huge skill to have. U know when the tour starts but it will last as far as the group vibe gets. It's incredible. I ended up trying rajastani wedding gowns 🤣🤣 Thank you Raj! I will see u when I'm back

Best food tour in Delhi!
Undoubtedly the best food tour in Delhi! Raj is an expert in the cuisines & history of Old Delhi. It started with a visit to the Jain temple near Red Fort, the peas samosa and ended with a mango kulfi & the fire paan in CP. He made sure the stores we went to used ghee and were hygienic. It was a true peek into the old Delhi life

There is no other guy who could beat raj..
Man... raj is a amazingly kind human being. His tour speaks for itself. Check out the website, everything will be expanding your expectations way more. Forget all that food, that western food markets are selling as "authentic north indian bites" apart from that, the temples, we visited, were crazy. (In a good way) i got witness to hear sikh fighting music, and that is grooving more then fela kuti. Great sweets, thalis, warm gulab Jamun!!! Mango lassi, kulfi, pani puri, the best garlic naan i ever ate in my life and so much more. Then all kinds of funky public and private transport that we used.. the GTA style tuktuk ride through the narrow roads was the best..apart from that, raj will never hesitate to help you, if you got questions for your trip, and what to get where.. i mean he drove me to the kashmir gate bus station, just to negotiate a better price for my ticket to manali.. 600r for a luxury liner.(!!!!) and also, if you think, the price is a lot.. no. Not for what you get . Youre my hero, stay sage!

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Unveil Old Delhi's Food, Spice Market & Heritage Walk: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.
How much does Unveil Old Delhi's Food, Spice Market & Heritage Walk cost?
+
Prices start at $43 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 Unveil Old Delhi's Food, Spice Market & Heritage Walk 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 Unveil Old Delhi's Food, Spice Market & Heritage Walk worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 45 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 Unveil Old Delhi's Food, Spice Market & Heritage Walk?
+
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 Unveil Old Delhi's Food, Spice Market & Heritage Walk 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 Unveil Old Delhi's Food, Spice Market & Heritage Walk?
+
Around 16 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 Unveil Old Delhi's Food, Spice Market & Heritage Walk 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.
