Delhi Food Tour

AAA+++ guru and experience. Roopak and Nidhi gave me a most memorable experience in Delhi. Not your usual walking tour but a more immersive and a more intimate activity that if you're traveling solo, it will be one of your highlights of your visit. It'a a family visit that's filled with love and activities that you'll feel part of Roopak and Nidhi's family. Their warmth and hospitality is really exceptional and very much appreciated. There was no pressure to perform but time flowed that you'll savor and enjoy each moment inside their home. Thank you!

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 can highly recommend this guide! He takes his time and knows a lot about the history and background. He adapts to the interests of the group. I enjoyed it to the fullest.

Roopak and his wife are wonderful hosts. The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. We got fascinating insights into their life, and cooking together was a lot of fun. The meal at the end was absolutely delicious!

Die Tour durch Old Delhi mit Jatin war für uns ein echtes Highlight. Er hat uns viele besondere und authentische Eindrücke gezeigt, die wir alleine niemals entdeckt hätten – von kleinen lokalen Geschäften über die Menschen und das Leben auf den Straßen bis hin zu engen Gassen und versteckten Winkeln abseits der typischen Touristenrouten. Zwischendurch gab es auch eine kurze Rickshaw-Fahrt, die Spaß gemacht hat und gut zur Tour gepasst hat. Unterwegs konnten wir außerdem leckeres Street Food wie frisch zubereitete Samosas, Chai und Lassi probieren, was die Tour noch abwechslungsreicher gemacht hat. Jatin ist ein sehr freundlicher und herzlicher Guide, spricht sehr gutes Englisch und verfügt über viel Wissen über Old Delhi, seine Geschichte und das tägliche Leben vor Ort. Eine klare Empfehlung für alle, die Old Delhi authentisch erleben möchten! Danke Jatin! 🙏🏻

The walking tour was absolutely fantastic and easily one of the highlights of my trip. Even though I ended up being the only participant, Jatin still ran the tour and put so much care and energy into making it an unforgettable experience. He showed me Old Delhi from a truly gritty, authentic perspective that I never would have discovered on my own and he was incredibly open and happy to answer all of my questions along the way. I learned so much, felt completely immersed in the city, and came away with a much deeper understanding of the place. Hands down the best possible way to start exploring a new city.

Der Abend mit Roopak und seiner Familie war wirklich besonders und wirklich authentisch! Wir haben viel über Indien und den Hinduismus gelernt und auch praktisch erfahren können. Roopak ist wirklich sehr erfahren und hat auf alles eine Antwort. Das Essen was wir zubereitet haben wad auserdem sehr lecker. Vielen Dank für die große Gastfreundschaft und den tollen Abend!

This experience was really great! We did it on our first day in India and it was the best start! The things we learned there really helped us during our whole stay in India. The meals we prepared were also super delicious and the hosts were the best!!

Such a nice expirence to go to a local Hindi home and cook food with them! Can only recommend Roopak, he and his wife was the best hosts!

If you are the type of person who loves to see how locals actually live and want to experience a taste of that in Delhi, than it’s very important you book this experience with Nidhi and Roopak!!! I am so thankful to Nidhi & Roopak for opening up their beautiful home so that foreign travelers can experience how an Indian family in Delhi lives within their home. As soon as I arrived I was greeted with a warm traditional Hindu welcome into a tranquil and peaceful home amidst a bustling city. Roopak was very communicative and helpful leading up to the experience and provided clear directions and instructions to ensure that getting to their home and enjoying the experience within their home was as accommodating as possible. He even was generous enough to give me a lift to the metro after the experience! There are hosts and there are “hostess with the mostess” as Perle Mesta (a Washington DC socialite) would say and this lovely couple is definitely the latter. I had a wonderful time chatting/ laughing with them both, making masala chai, and learning about their Hindu traditions. I felt completely safe as a female solo traveler and would recommend this experience to those traveling alone, as a family, with friends, or a couple. Do not miss out on this experience and don’t leave Delhi without meeting this lovely couple!

If you want more than just photos and landmarks, take a tour with Jerry. His Old Delhi walk was immersive, informative, and fun, with great food stops and stories you won’t find in guidebooks. A memorable way to explore the heart of Delhi.

Exploring Old Delhi with Jerry didn’t feel like a guided tour—it felt like walking through history with a local friend who knows every secret corner. From the buzzing lanes of Chandni Chowk to hidden food spots and centuries-old stories, Jerry brought Old Delhi to life in a way guidebooks never could. What stood out most was Jerry’s storytelling. Every place had a story, every street had meaning, and nothing felt rushed or scripted. He handled the chaos of Old Delhi effortlessly, making the experience comfortable, fun, and surprisingly smooth. The food recommendations were spot-on, the cultural insights were deep but easy to understand, and Jerry’s passion for his city was infectious. This tour wasn’t about ticking landmarks off a list—it was about understanding the soul of Old Delhi. If you want an authentic, immersive, and memorable Old Delhi experience, Jerry is the guide you’re looking for. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended.

We cannot recommend Jatin highly enough! He was accommodating and flexible to our requests and clearly loves Delhi, this came across in his enthusiasm and knowledge of the city. We saw parts of Delhi that is unlikely we would have stumbled across on our own. He pointed out features that we would not have noticed and explained the history behind these. Thank you jatin for a wonderful tour, we await your boxed invitation!!! Kate & Jyoti ( mince pies n chai! )

Roopak is a wonderful Guru - he provided an excellent experience for me, a female solo traveller. Roopak was incredibly informative on all components of Indian culture and history and explained several elements of Hindu religion in his home. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to further their understanding of Indian culture and experience a true home in Delhi.

Roopak and Nidhi are very kind and informative. They do everything they can to make your stay as comfortable as possible. They are going to cook a delicious meal with you (including dessert and tea), show their home and much more. They also give recommendations for your travel plans and help you, if you get problems. Definitely recommended!

Excellent Old Delhi tour with Jatin. Knowledgeable, friendly, and very engaging. He gave us a real feel of local life and history. Would absolutely recommend.

Jatin was an excellent guide in Old Delhi. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. He showed us authentic places, shared interesting history, and made the tour enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended!

This experience was truly one of the highlights of our time in India. We were welcomed into a local family’s home with such warmth and generosity that we immediately felt less like tourists and more like guests. Together, we prepared traditional Indian tea, cooked dinner, and even made dessert. e Each step accompanied by stories, laughter, and meaningful conversations. Beyond cooking, the experience became a deep and thoughtful introduction to India itself. We learned about the country’s history, culture, spirituality, and everyday life. Lessons not from books or tours, but through honest dialogue inside an Indian home. Sharing a meal at the family table made everything more real, personal, and human. You can read about India online or hear facts from guides, but nothing compares to understanding the country through its very foundation: the traditional Indian family. This experience was fun, educational, spiritual, and deeply enlightening. If you want to truly feel India, not just see it, I wholeheartedly recommend this home and cooking tour. It offers insight, connection, and memories that stay with you long after the trip ends.

I did the Old Delhi tour as a solo traveler, and having Jatin as my guide made the experience perfect. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely comfortable navigating the busy streets and markets. The tour felt personal, not rushed, and very authentic. I learned a lot about the history, culture, and daily life of Old Delhi. Highly recommended for anyone traveling alone.

I have an amazing Old Delhi tour with Jatin as our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and explained the history, culture, and local life in a very engaging way. From the narrow lanes of Chandni Chowk to the food spots and historic landmarks, everything was well organized and authentic. Jatin also made sure we felt comfortable and safe throughout the tour. This experience truly helped us understand the real spirit of Old Delhi. Highly recommended!

Jatin gave us a nice impression of Old Delhi and introduced us to the metro system. Much faster tho commute, that was a learning too!

Das war eine tolle Tour. Jatin kennt sich extrem gut aus und zeigt auch versteckte Ecken, die man selbst niemals finden würde. Er hat ein profundes Wissen zur Historie und viel sonstiges Hintergrundwissen. Sehr zu empfehlen!

The tour of Old Delhi was easily one of the best things we did during our time in India. Jerry was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. It felt like we really explored a unique side to Delhi - not just Chandni Chowk generally but the little backstreets, food stalls and bazaars where locals live and work. It's excellent value given how many places you get to see, try one or two snacks/chai and take a tuk tuk ride. Although it would be fine to explore Old Delhi yourself, having someone who knows the area, its history, culture and streets is invaluable. Also, I felt Jerry went above and beyond by helping us on the metro and getting us back to our hotel afterwards! Would highly recommend both him and this tour to anyone visiting Delhi to see a new side to the city and get your bearings

5 stars for first day in Delhi Jerry and his tour of Old Delhi was an amazing experience. Jerry was courteous to everyone, professional, and knowledgeable. He weaved us through areas we would not have done by ourselves. Trip ended with a delicious Chai at a local establishment. Everything ran smoothly and we didn't feel as overwhelmed as a lot of people say you do the first time you visit Delhi. We highly recommend this guide and tour and would definitely book with Jerry again.

Absolutely fantastic! I had such a great time--the hospitality was top-notch, the food was delicious, the flat was beautifully decorated, and the experience was both interesting and entertaining. Due to its location, it is the perfect thing to do upon arrival or departure to the city. It was the best thing that I did during my trip to Delhi!
