Go Delhi Way!

Being a woman I was a bit concerned with safety and came across Delhi Way conducting tours for Women by Women. This is run by two ladies who left professional corporate roles in advertising to follow their passion and showcase Delhi and I loved what the did for us.

You could see the professionalism in the interaction, detailed and clear responses and the overall organization of the trip, got superior service at a reasonable cost yet customized and warm. We got to see so many hidden gems and interesting things in old Delhi. In Udaipur, it was great discovering this city with a local person, couldn’t have done it on our own. Felt safe, got a feel of the culture, the guide was engaging, patient and even helped with tips on bargaining, yippee. Would recommend the tour to everybody (even men) and would do it again if have the opportunity.

Highly Recommended!

There is a difference between doing touristy places in a city with a guide and getting an authentic underhand experience of the local culture. The former you may forget over time but the latter you will remember for the rest of your lifetime. After having used the services of ‘The Delhi Way’ for over a week, I can say with much conviction that it is the latter that I experienced with them. 
Their sensitivity to your choice is truly remarkable in presenting you with a highly customisable experience. Equally important is their commitment to go above and beyond for the delight of their customers. I highly recommend them.
