Vivek and our driver (whose name was long and I forgot, I apologize) were absolutely exceptional hosts on my one-day stopover in New Delhi. We spoke beforehand to sort out some logistics and to see if I favored any stops or had any specific plans, and he met me the morning I arrived in the hotel lobby to start our day.
Everything was planned and my two replacement sights were no problem at all to fit in, so off we went. A mix of quick photo stops and longer walking mini-tours, and always with relevant information flowing, but what I enjoyed most is that Vivek will adapt to the situation as needed. Case in point: 1) I prefer more interactive/chatting tours and less "cold data" and he was very good at keeping the tour lively and fun. 2) My stomach started seriously acting up on me during the day (unfortunately before the lunch stop we made, which looked delicious), and he and our driver started pacing the tour to allow me to rest in the air conditioned car for longer...but after another couple of stops I took their advice about going to a pharmacy -- of course they found one quickly and helped me get what I need -- and then even drove me as far as you could go in the archeological park which was going to be my last and favorite stop, so I wouldn't have to walk on wobbly legs.
I whole-heartedly recommend this tour and Vivek especially, and will be back one day to complete what I missed.
