This walk was superb. Atik is a well spoken, intelligent, well informed guy and really friendly. It was planned and every minute was pleasurable. I have been to India 15x and studied India at postgraduate level but I still learned tons from hill. I really wish him well
Jatin is a good tour guide and this was an enjoyable two and a half hours for me revisiting ShahJahan’s capital which I haven’t explored for 30 years. It was a good walk at a reasonable pace through fascinating areas. I think it would be a 5 star tour for someone who had never been to Old Delhi before but for me there wasn’t much that was new except for the explanations. And that is the point of tours I believe since when you simply look you don’t necessarily understand what you are seeing. My only real concern was that I don’t think the guide could understand my Yorkshire accent which prevented some deeper conversations. Highly recommend
I just thought this was a rather dull walking tour compared to many I have done in Bolivia and elsewhere.
I started the tour. But I was upset that the guide said talking about Jewish people in mediaeval Poland that the Jews were good with money. This is Antisemitism. Some Jews are, some aren’t just like any people. And Jews were not allowed to practice other professions. Then at the next stop she talked about mikva’s as ritual cleaning places. But she never mentioned they were solely for women during menstruation - I was shocked she didn’t know this. I didn’t want to criticise her or have an argument so I left. But I was offended, as a Jewish person myself whose grandmothers came from Lodz
