Shiv was a fantastic tour guide, very friendly, and was very knowledgeable about Delhi. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who wants to see the sights in Delhi, without the stress of navigating the streets alone.
Itinerary
Jama Masjid – Mughal Majesty & Panoramic Views
Begin your journey at the iconic Jama Masjid, a marvel of Mughal architecture. Climb the minaret (optional) for panoramic views of Shahjahanabad. Your guide will walk you through tales of emperors, conquests, and the spiritual grandeur of the 17th century.
Matia Mahal Veg Delights – Paratha, Shahi Tukda & More
Step into Matia Mahal’s vegetarian wonders. Taste fluffy bedmi puri with aloo sabzi, sweet shahi tukda, and refreshing soya milk from legendary local vendors. These dishes have been perfected over generations — no meat needed to steal the show here.
Gali Kasim Jan & Mirza Ghalib Haveli
Stroll to the quiet Gali Kasim Jan to visit the restored Mirza Ghalib Haveli, the former home of India’s greatest Urdu poet. Your guide will share his poetry and life story, offering a serene cultural contrast to the street buzz.
Street Food Lane – Daulat ki Chaat & Kuremal Kulfi
Now it’s time for the creamy, dreamy flavors of Old Delhi’s dessert legacy. Try the rare, seasonal daulat ki chaat (a cloud-like milk froth delicacy), then walk to Kuremal’s Kulfi for their stuffed mango, paan, or jamun kulfis — a 100-year-old brand still winning hearts.
Dariba Kalan – Silver Street Legacy
Wander through the historic Dariba Kalan, where the air glitters with fine silver and traditional perfume scents. Get insights into the old Mughal-era bazaar system and optionally shop for bangles, trinkets, and ittars (natural perfumes).
Kinari Bazaar – Wedding Wonder Lane
Dive into a burst of color at Kinari Bazaar, famous for its decorative trims, zari borders, and wedding supplies. It’s like walking into a never-ending Indian festival — with plenty of photo ops.
Khari Baoli – Spice Bazaar & Rooftop Viewpoint
Walk up to a secret spice shop rooftop overlooking Asia’s largest spice market. Your guide will walk you through the story of masalas, dry fruits, and herbs as you breathe in a bouquet of saffron, hing, cinnamon, and cardamom. Take home a sample blend as a flavorful souvenir.
Chandni Chowk – Paratha Gali & Chaat Carnival
Enter the legendary Paranthe Wali Gali, where stuffed parathas (potato, paneer, banana, and even rabri!) sizzle on iron tavas. Then explore local chaat stalls to try aloo tikki, dahi bhalla, and golgappas. Every bite is a legacy.
Chai Stop & Haveli Courtyard Rest
Unwind at a quiet corner with masala chai served in a clay cup, sitting in the courtyard of a restored heritage haveli. You’ll soak in silence and cool stone walls after the sensory overload outside.
Optional Cycle Rickshaw Ride + Hotel Drop
To end the tour, hop on an optional cycle rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk’s back lanes, past Jain temples and spice stalls. Then relax with a private car drop to your hotel, ending your experience on a peaceful note — with your heart (and belly) full.
