Hemos disfrutado mucho, la ruta muy adecuada y el guia muy Bueno.
Jai is a really nice guy. The tour was like described 2.5hrs. Unfortunately it was just me but so we had more time for my questions and particularl wishes. I recommend the tour with jai.
Walking through the streets and bazaars of Old Delhi with "Jai" was astounding. We had a chance to experience traditional Indian lifestyles. By paying the entry fee, we visited the Jama Masjid mosque, had a walk past on the outskirts of Red Fort and explored the Chandni Chowk market. A short bicycle rickshaw ride to the spice market was fun.
