Join me on an immersive walk navigating the narrow bylanes of Old Delhi - a treat for history and food lovers, a delight for all the five senses. This heritage walk is a recollection of my childhood growing up in Chandni Chowk - its many tastes, sounds, and smells, that linger fresh in my memory. I grew up in Chandni Chowk, but left Delhi at the age of 14 on an academic scholarship to Singapore. I travelled as a student to almost 20 countries across 3 continents. I am passionate about history and cultural exchange and love hosting people from different parts of the world. In this thoughtfully curated walk, you will discover and witness Delhi's syncretic culture and past. Together, we will uncover the complexity of India and its various layers of history from the Mughals to the British.

It’s one of the best tours I’ve ever been on. It is a carefully curated tour that is grounded in the host’s personal experience. Since Akshay grew up in Chandni Chowk, he gives you an excellent historical journey through its local culinary delights and uncharted sights. He is extremely well read and will make sure that you learn as much about this interesting area as possible. If you want an actual local’s journey through Chandni Chowk, carefully and thoughtfully curated, you wouldn’t want to miss this opportunity!

Akshay is a passionate history buff and anyone taking a trip with him to old delhi would know that immediately. I loved the stories told by him about Delhi's history weaved through the ages. I relished the amazing street food, the lesser known stuff that most don't know about. But my best experience was climbing the spiral stairways to reach the top of the Jama Masjid minaret overlooking the entire walled city. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone with a keen interest in history and exploring different cultures. You are sure to love this one.
