Descripción completa
Viejo Delhi: tour a pie de especias, patrimonio, y bazares. Descubre la hermosa Jama Masjid de 400 años, con vistas a la ciudad vieja.
Tu guía te encuentra en la puerta número 1 de la estación de metro llamada «Jama Masjid Metro Station». Tras una breve introducción sobre la aventura que se desarrollará, comenzamos a caminar y a descubrir la ciudad viva de 400 años conocida como «Viejo Delhi».
El paseo comienza en medio del histórico «Meena Bazaar», antaño un opulento mercado de gemas preciosas durante la antigua era imperial mogol, pero ahora un mercado improvisado que atiende a los estratos más comunes de la sociedad, donde los vendedores ofrecen materiales muy económicos para las masas.
Pronto vemos imponentes escalones de piedra que conducen a la «mezquita Jama», considerada la mezquita más grande de la India, construida por el mismo emperador que construyó el «Taj Mahal», conocido como «Shah Jahan».
Nota: la visita a la mezquita es completamente opcional, no obligatoria. La tarifa de entrada de la «mezquita Jama» es de 450 rupias indias por persona. Aun así, quienes no deseen entrar en la mezquita pueden hacer una parada para fotos desde el exterior.
Es hora de adentrarse en la búsqueda del laberinto, entrar en el dédalo del Viejo Delhi, mientras caminas, descubre casas patrimoniales conocidas como havelis por sus diseños tradicionales y patrimoniales. Múltiples callejones serpenteantes conducen a numerosos mercados bulliciosos y deslumbrantes que operan desde la era imperial mogol. Estos enigmáticos barrios, bañados en el encanto del crepúsculo, prometen una exploración de secretos susurrados a través del tiempo.
Pronto llegamos al «mercado de especias», y comenzamos nuestra ruta de especias. Nos abrimos paso hacia un enorme almacén donde todos los grandes comerciantes de especias se reúnen para cerrar tratos con los mayoristas. Grandes sacos de especias se abren a la mitad para su exhibición, llenando el aire de especias y aromas. Pronto entramos en uno de los famosos y antiguos depósitos/almacenes de especias para una introducción sobre muchas célebres especias indias. Te sorprenderás al saber cuánto pagas en tu país de origen por algunas especias de uso diario en tu cocina.
Luego regresamos finalmente hacia la estación de metro o el punto de Uber más cercano.
Nota: no es recomendable tomar demasiadas fotos; el tour se realiza entre los verdaderos habitantes locales, sus barrios, y sus negocios. Un par de fotos para el recuerdo están bien, pero el tour no está pensado para fotógrafos profesionales.

We loved our walking tour with Jai. We saw a lot, tried some local masala chai which was lovely, he helped me buy some delicacies. We enjoyed the mosque, some temples and were able to have an experience of walking the old lanes and markets without feeling overwhelmed. He always took good care of us and shared a lot of interesting information. I will definitely get in touch with Jai again - he’s great!!
Jai Singh was a perfect guide. Tells a lot and give explations by questions. Jai also flexibel. Try it by yourselve !
Jai is a fantastic guide! He is local, knowledgeable, and extremely kind. I would highly recommend this as a way to learn about this area of the city!
Everything about this tour was fantastic, Jai was the greatest local host, so knowledgeable, kind and really looked after everyone in the group. I got lost to start with and so he came to collect me from my location which I really appreciated. The walk was really varied and I learnt lots of interesting facts and insights and feel I got a very good perspective of life in Delhi. Jai really made the trip memorable and was a very good photographer and happy to take photos and videos for our group, he delivered the tour in such a warm, friendly way, I felt like I was walking around the city with friends, a true gentleman and local advocate. I was also happy that I didn't feel pressured to buy whilst shopping which I have felt on other excursions and this was much more about the enjoyment and experiencing the city for all of its wonder. Thank you Jai ☺️
Superb guiding through the small alleys in Old Delhi. Loved the spice market and the visit to the chili ”floor”. 🌶️ Our guide was really knowledgeable and made sure that we also got the opportunity to taste different teas in different occasions.
This tour is AMAZING!!! I highly recommend it. The guide is local and owns the tour company himself. He is kind, insightful, and knows all the back alley ways to get an off the beaten path experience. I have been traveling for 3 months and this was one of my favorite tours. Also, if you are interested in trying any street foods, mention it to him and you’ll stop at clean hygienic places along the way! :) perfect mix of food, history, and authentic sightseeing
Jai was great! Had a bit of a struggle to find each other at the start, but the tour was excellent! We did a comprehensive tour of Jama Masjid, Chandri Chowk and the tiny streets of old Delhi and then popped into the spice market, finishing with a rickshaw ride. I am really happy I did this “extra” tour - the larger multi-day tour I am officially part of didn’t cover nearly as much.
This was the 2nd tour I took with Jai, This was a private tour to a heritage house in the area. Great tour again, and I enjoyed seeing the restored buildings we visited. I highly recommend Jai as a tour guide. His English is good, and he is a flexible tour guide who does what he can to accommodate his guests.
Jai was super helpful and very knowledgeable. Delhi can be a bit chaotic so Jai's calm touring was well met.
Really insightful tour. Our guide took great care to understand what spots we were most interested in and helped customize the tour to us. He was very attentive of our group in the heat and chaos. He knows exactly where to take you in Old Delhi to help you get a mix of quiet streets while also seeing the bustle of the district. 100% recommend this if you’re visiting!
Very knowledgeable guide. We really enjoyed our tour.
Great way to explore Old Delhi! Jai was wonderful and whisked us from spot to spot while providing interesting context. The spice market was a real highlight and boy was I sneezing. Really enjoyed this tour and especially appreciated the fact that he came to find us in the metro station when we got lost.
