New Delhi Cycle Tour

The New Delhi Cycle Tour was absolutely fabulous. It was very informative as numerous anecdotes were told about the various sights. All queries and questions were answered by the guides. The tour was well organised from the very onset, we met at the prescribed location and were given some ground instructions. Spin monkey is very very well equipped and really ensured our safety. Geared cycles, safety helmets and neons jackets were provided. When I accidentally detached the chains on the cycle

Gwen a dear friend and I caught up once who with some context mentioned about this cycle ride. It was Ronnie (my son's) birthday and the idea of cycle ride could just be perfect. For this Sunday early morning ride, we were much ahead of the reporting time, not sure of what to expect and here we find Anchit already in command of the scene and arrangements. Setting the cycles and all enthusiastic, beaming with smile . He was soon joined by his colleague and the man gave us the most interesting introduction of the New Delhi part of the city. Gaurav was another bundle of energy, eagerness and knowledge. And there came a surprise in the form of Ronnie’s cycle decorated with wonderful 'birthday balloons and a beautiful placard in front of the cycle- Happy birthday! Surreal and all of this is happening at 6 in the morning when the surrounding is still in slumber. Ronnie is all excited and so are we. Let’s Spin was the cheer and we were on the roll. The teamwork, coordination of Anchit and Gaurav on the go was brilliant. They were extremely patient, helpful, great conversations, care for Ronnie and all of us- he and Anchit just made the difference. Not getting into the details of each attractions and monument which I would like to keep as a surprise to discover. Finally after ride back to this restaurant for an excellent breakfast which was another display of Spin Monkeys and the teams attention to details and service. The birthday cake came as a surprise when Ronnie was just thinking that we will go back home and cut the cake! Super. My wife who was reluctant to join wants to go back again with her friends for this ride and so do we. Couldn't have been a better day!

We headed out under the cover of darkness from our hotel. To meet our tour guide Gaurav. It was a good time to go at sunrise as the traffic was a lot lighter. Gaurav is a brilliant guide he is very knowledgable and informative of the history and the culture of Delhi and India. He had a great sense of humour. I believe he said his great grandfather served in the British army. The visit to the Sikh temple was very humbling to see how many people volunteer to help daily to prepare and cook three meals a day for 25000 visitors. From all races and religions. All welcome. We went to all the main sights in New Delhi and a surprise step well also. Finished the tour with traditional Indian breakfast from north and south of India. Very nice ! Totally recommend this as a great way to see New Delhi.
