Hi, I'd like to hear from other people booked on this tour. I'm travelling alone and it would be good to know there will be a few friendly faces waiting for me on the tour!
Id also like to hear from anyone who's already done this tour (or any others with 'I-T' in India) who has any helpful hints or comments!

No mine starts on 23rd so it's probably the tour after yours. Have a great time!

I did the tour last year! It was fab - you'll love it! What it doesn't cover though (and what I would strongly recommend if you have the time) is to see Old Delhi. It's absolutely amazing! Take a cycle rickshaw tour - you wont regret it!

Cheers for the tip Mercedes, I arrive in Delhi the day before the tour starts so I was planning on seeing Old Dehli anyway. Is cycle rickshaw the best way of getting around?

Hey Dawnie,

The best way to see Shahjahanabad (Old Delhi) is by catching either a taxi or auto-rickshaw to the Red Fort. This area is teeming with cycle rickshaws for you to hire, indeed it can be to such an extent that often exploring the area by foot can be the best option. Setting off down the Chandi Chowk, you will encounter a wealth of mosques, temples and churches, of which the Digambar Jain Temple and the Sisganj Gurudwara Temple are well worth investigating.
