Evening Food Tour

My husband and I could not recommend this company more! Delhi by locals was recommended by my older brother as he had visited India a few years prior. It was the best recommendation we got about the entire trip. For anyone unaware the owner, Pradeep, built the company after we was able to rise out of his economic standing from a US scholarship he had received and his ultimate goal has been to lift others our of the slums by teaching them English and providing tourism job opportunities. This provides such a unique and special experience when touring Delhi. We learned so much from our guide Salman who grew up in the area. Beyond the food and cuisines, we learned about the historical influence, infrastructure, culture, religions, people and cast system, and contemporary views. Pradeep and Salman have hearts of gold and were the most lovely people. Beyond planning an exceptional tour for us (mind you it was intended to be 4 hours and they were extremely generous with their time and we spent 7 hours exploring and learnings from them!). Not only did they have a lasting impact on us from Delhi, but wanted to help us with the remainder of our time in India. I will fully admit that we were a bit naive in some of our planning and did not realize how crucial having planned tours and transportation plans ahead are when visiting India (we thought we could just book a train from one city to another or explore popular monuments on our own). LUCKILY we had establishes a great relationship with Pradeep after our Old Delhi tour and he came to the rescue planning our time in Jaipur with a freelance guide, booking us transportation from city to city, and even picked us up from the airport HIMSELF when we arrived back to Delhi with way too much time before our flights home to the states. In our last few hours in India we had the immense pleasure of visiting Pradeeps NGO, Learning by Locals, getting to see the Learning Center he has established for kids in the slums to learn English, computer skills, and much more, and spend time with the kids themselves. Our time with Delhi by Locals will never be forgotten. While it may sound cheesy, it really was a life changing experience! Liz & Brandon

We were a little hesitant to go on the evening food tour. Like other tourists, we had heard to be very cautious eating Delhi street food. However, our hesitation was completely unfounded! Predeep gave us a brilliant, comfortable evening. He was super knowledgeable, took us around all the key sites, handled all transportation and discussion with the locals. We tried some amazing food and had a brilliant time. He also took us to a cool ‘secret spot’. Definitely would recommend and would also use him for other tours as well.

If you are lucky enough to visit Delhi - these are the people to use. Absolutely fantastic service. Amazing, kind and helpful people who we now consider our Indian family. Pradeep and Salman are first class guides, and do everything they can to help you, going above and beyond. Not only do they help tourists to navigate this wonderful city, but they invest in the children in the slum areas, getting them the education they wouldn’t normally receive. The prices are good, the service could not be better, and we had the time of our lives. This is the company to use - 100%.
