The ride is not very comfortable because the streets have many holes, but love this ride because we walk through the interior of the streets of old delhi.

Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Children, animals, filth. Crowds. Noise. Traffic. Chaos. This has to be one of the most frightening experiences anyone can have in Delhi. Would I recommend it? For absolutely NO reason at all. Strictly avoid.

The only way to safely navigate this maze of streets which are crowded and dirty. We still had to get out and walk when the potholes got too bad.

I paid 400Rs for 1 1/2 hours and felt as though I got my monies worth. All of the wholesale shops were closed (Sunday) which was a shame as I would have loved to see the colourful displays of materials, spices etc. However, we rode through the old town with the greatest of ease without the hustle and bustle.

If you feel uneasy about walking through the Old Delhi maze of streets and bazaars in your tourist attire, this is by far the best solution. Take the Metro to Chandni Chowk and, when you exit, get into a cycle rickshaw. Where can you find one? Don't worry, it'll find you. You'll soon be surrounded by a swarm of rickshaw... More

Great way to see the little streets of Old Delhi. Do not go on sundays because many shops will be closed. Take the street food at your own risk.

Well, this is an event that has to be experienced to be understood. While on tour we took a rickshaw ride in Old Delhi. The streets were teaming with people, every kind of mode of transportation, and thousands of people, all trying to make their way through the streets. We were two to a rickshaw, following , or trying to... More

I have extremely mmixed feelings as far as my 6 months of Rickshaw rides in India and Dehli. On one hand, they're fast, practical and cheap. You can go everywhere and there's always a rickshaw somewhere available to take you. This is an excellent way to see and experience the country. On the other hand, the constant fights with the...

This is the best way to begin to explore Old Delhi. It's a fantastic combinations of sites, sounds, smells, athmospere and wonder. It was very well organized, with few enough people to make it feel like you were not part of some "tourist crowd". I learned a great deal about the history of the old city, as well as the... More

We were lucky enough, my wife and I, to have Ritu, co-owner of the business, for us "alone" as our guide. She is so knowledgable and a very nice person. We began the cycle-rickshaw tour at the beginning of the street facing the Red Fort, pretty early (8:30 AM) in order to be able to progress in the streets of... More
