A good guide makes a big difference in Delhi, especially in the dense lanes of the old city. Delhi Food Walks, founded by Anubhav Sapra, runs breakfast, brunch and night food walks in Old Delhi, as well as vegetarian walks and a chance to cook with a local family. India City Walks covers a wider range of neighbourhoods, from food and rickshaw tours in Old Delhi to walks in Mehrauli, Lodhi Gardens, Hauz Khas and Nizamuddin.
For something different, Delhi By Cycle leads small groups through Old Delhi on early-morning bicycle rides, when the streets are at their quietest, and the Salaam Baalak Trust City Walk is guided by young people who once lived on the city's streets, offering a personal and thought-provoking view of Delhi. Most tours run in the morning or evening to avoid the midday heat, and booking a few days ahead is sensible in the busy season from October to March. Wear comfortable shoes and dress modestly for walks that include mosques, temples or dargahs.
