What SIngh jo does not know about Old Delhi is probably not worth knowing. He is a walking history book and has detailed knowledge of the sites and monuments which he shares with joy and great enthusiasm. I highly recommend his walking tours which include rickshaw rides - and a penetrating flash of sight into Indian culture.

We had a very short amount of time to see Delhi and Jai was amazing! He was very accommodating by creating a bespoke tour to fit in with our limited timing! Communication was excellent (text updates, confirmations, photos etc). Would highly recommend and will use again next time I am in India.

13-Feb-2023

I did a walking tour of Old Delhi with Jai. It was a great experience. He was very knowledgeable about the area as well as about India overall. We tried some great street food, visited old temples and mosques, and toured the spice market. Would highly recommend

12-Nov-2022

Mr Jai Singh was the most professional and communicative tour operator that I have encountered to date. Not only was his knowledge exceptional on the possible options on hotels and activities, but he assisted us in successfully recovering our money when the Indian government unfortunately changed the visa requirements at the last minute resulting in having to cancel our visit. I will hopefully be able to arrange another visit to India in the future and will, without doubt, use Mr Singh again

I contacted Jai Sing eight months before coming to India. He organized everything as promised. The driver Yadav was very nice. He took us places where we wanted to go. He did not take us to any tourist trap. Thank you so much.

Booked a walking tour of Old Delhi with Jai on Saturday the 4th of January 2023. Very enjoyable, educational and interesting tour with a very personable tour guide. Would highly recommend. Update: Booked the Lodhi Gardens tour on my 2nd trip to Delhi at the end of July. Beautiful place to visit and very informative tour from Jai.

I enjoyed a really interesting and reasonably priced private tour of Mehrauli Archaeological Park and Tughlaqabad Fort with Jai. It’s hard to find guides for these places but Jai did a great job of organising and running the tour.
