Delhi: Private Old Delhi Food and Heritage Tour with Guide. Explore Old Delhi's vibrant streets and historic bazaars with a guide.

Meet your private driver and English-speaking food expert at your Delhi hotel. Travel to Old Delhi, the historic center of the capital, and begin your walking exploration through the energetic streets of Chandni Chowk.

Follow your guide through busy lanes and traditional food quarters while sampling a selection of local favorites. Depending on availability, tastings may include samosas, chaat, stuffed parathas, kachoris, kebabs, biryani, and other regional specialties. Learn about the ingredients, preparation methods, and culinary traditions that have shaped Old Delhi's food culture.

Visit Jama Masjid, one of India's most impressive historic mosques. Admire its expansive courtyard and Mughal architecture while your guide explains its place in Delhi's history and cultural landscape.

Continue to Khari Baoli, renowned as one of Asia's largest wholesale spice markets. Experience the vivid colors, aromas, and activity of this historic trading district and see the variety of spices and ingredients used in Indian cooking.

Enjoy a curated meal at a reputed local restaurant, featuring traditional Old Delhi dishes. The meal is available as an optional service and is payable according to the selected arrangement. Your guide can introduce you to local specialties and dining traditions.

After the food exploration, continue through the historic lanes to observe traditional shops, family-run businesses, heritage buildings, and everyday life in the old city. A traditional rickshaw ride may be arranged as an optional experience, offering a lively way to experience the narrow streets.
