Delhi by Locals - Travel agency in New Delhi - South, India

We had a wonderful time in India with Delhi by Locals. In my opinion, Pradeep and Salman are the best guide you can find in India. Unlike other guides, Pradeep and Salman are passionate about their work. They love their job and they went above and beyond to guide us in the tour. They are extremely Professional. We had New Delhi tour, the Old Delhi Tour and the Slump Tour. All of them we enjoyed. We meet them as a guide and we said goodbye to them as friends. If you ever need a guide for Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, Delhi by Locals are the one you should use.

I just got back from a trip to India with my fiance and our tour with Delhi by Locals stands out as the highlight of our trip. It was my first time in India so having someone who knows the city and culture so well was invaluable. Pradeep was so knowledgeable and made us feel safe while still allowing us to immerse ourselves in the culture. As we walked through Old Delhi Pradeep was greeted warmly and introduced us to many of the locals. Pradeep is not only a great tour guide, but also an amazing person. Would unhesitatingly recommend this company to anyone visiting India.

Delhi by Locals helped our family do a 17 day tour, visiting Delhi, Agra, Ranthambore, Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, and Varanasi. It was an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience. We worked with Pradeep in advance to plan our route so that we could see both the incredible tourist so sights and get a sense for the the more local side of India. He organized a car and driver who was with us for the whole trip (except for Varanasi as we flew there from Jaisalmer) and then set us up with local guides in each town. Each guide was excellent and we were able to see India through their expert eyes. If we hadn't worked with Delhi by Locals, our time in India would have been much less rich. If you're considering a tour with them, whether it's for a day in Delhi or for something bigger, I strongly recommend reaching out to them.

I highly recommend working with Pradeep and the team at Delhi by Locals (DBL) if you are travelling to Delhi (and beyond in India). Delhi was the first stop in our 4 week travels in India Sept/Oct 2022 and DBL gave us the perfect introduction and welcome to India. We started with a pre-trip call with Pradeep, so he was able to customize our experience to our interests, preferences and timing. We found many guides in our trip who could provide excellent information - but fewer who were skilled at listening and adapting; this is something Pradeep and team excelled at. The customized itinerary for my husband and I included- - New Delhi sightseeing (with charming and knowledgeable guide Salman ) We covered many "sights" and had a great first day orientation to Delhi - and India. The vibe was being shown around by a friend. - Motorcycle tour - whilst not for the faint of heart, we highly highly recommend. Pradeep and Salman drove, my husband and I were passengers. We felt safe, part of the city, and it gave us a really sense of the city and the poetic chaos and energy. - Old Delhi / Food Tour - combined to work in our schedule Pradeep gave us a real feel for the exciting old city; seeing places we wouldn't have visited with a larger group or a less personal guide. We were able to taste a wide range of local food (safely, with no tummy issues) but also experience how that food fits into life. - Temples, mosques, places of worship across religions - a highlight being the Gurudwara community kitchen - Real life in Delhi slum - part of the whole picture of India, requiring a sensitive approach. Pradeep also leads Learning by locals which runs educational programs in this area - so taking this tour with DBL is a responsible, respectful way to gain insight More than just providing tours, Pradeep and team truly cared that we had an amazing experience in India - helping with things like getting a SIM card, using Uber to estimate prices for auto rickshaws, navigation and timing tips for catching trains out of Delhi, etc etc. He also helped organize a car in Agra and a tour guide in Varanasi. I like to think of myself as an independent traveller - but it was great to know that there was someone looking out for us to make sure we had the best experience possible. Delhi by locals gets much of its business through word of mouth from satisfied customers - but I learned about them through reviews and searches. I could not have been happier and strongly recommend working with Delhi by Locals to anyone!

I did two great tours with Delhi by Locals. Both were excellent and show a side of this fascinating city that most tourists wouldn' othrwise see.

Had a fantastic Old Delhi tour which was super relaxed and a great guide Salman! We went to a Sikh Temple, made Roti, walked through the markets, took a rickshaw ride and never felt rushed! I would recommend Delhi by Locals to everyone and have even booked my Taj Mahal tour with them! Added plus is they wear a Delhi by locals T-shirt so you can easily spot them and they look professional, oh and 50% of the profits go to education programmes and you can even go visit those! Thanks Pradeep for being so easy to communicate and plan this tour with!

Pradeep and Salman took us into a whole different world. They were so knowledgeable and they took us through this world at our pace. The trip was enchanting. The gallis of old Delhi with the beautiful doorways into old havelis, the sudden entries into a world filled with glittering zari and borders,the breathtakingly beautiful lehengas and other wedding fineries the heady scents of the spices were all part of this dream called old delhi. The peaceful beauty of the Fatehpuri masjid and the Sis ganj Gurdwara sahib deserve a special mention. We were awe struck. This was made possible by this wonderful guides. And of course they ensured that we do not leave that world without tasting the jalebis, parathas, kachoris and other this. Thank you Pradeep and Salman, we could not have done it without you.

[French below] This tour of the Nizamuddin district with Salman, who grew up and still lives in the neighborhood, where he knows every nook and cranny, was a pleasant surprise. Salman takes you through the maze of alleyways to discover the hidden places of this typical Muslim district of Delhi, home of the Chishtiyya Sufi branch. He punctuates the visit with many anecdotes from all the eras that have shaped the district. If you're lucky, you'll be able to see and, above all, hear the qawwalis. Highly recommended! Tres bonne surprise que cette visite du quartier de Nizamuddin avec Salman, qui a grandi et vit toujours dans le quartier dont il connait les moindres recoins. Salman vous emmene a travers le dedale de ruelles decouvrir les pepites cachees de ce quartier musulman typique de Delhi, foyer de la confrerie soufie Chishtiyya. Il ponctue la visite de nombreuses anecdotes de toutes les epoques qui ont faconne le quartier. Avec un peu de chance, vous pourrez voir et surtout entendre les qawwalis. Je recommande !
