What Makes This Tour Stand Out

This Delhi shopping tour is a great way to see the city’s bustling markets without the stress of navigating on your own. It’s designed to be flexible, allowing you to discuss your shopping preferences and interests beforehand. Whether you’re after spices, jewelry, handicrafts, or textiles, your private guide will help you find the best deals and authentic items.

The highlight is the visit to Asia’s largest spice market, where you can browse a dizzying array of teas, herbs, and spices—an aromatic feast for the senses. The tour also includes stops at the Dilli Haat and the Golden Arcade Cottage Emporium, two spots renowned for their rich selection of Indian handicrafts and souvenirs. At Golden Arcade, you’ll find items like Pashmina shawls, silk products, gilded artifacts, Islamic art reproductions, and miniatures, perfect for taking home a true piece of India.

The value here goes beyond just the shopping—your guide helps you understand local pricing, so you’re less likely to overpay and more likely to find a fair deal. Andre’s review noted how much he appreciated the guide’s knowledge and friendliness, which made the experience both informative and enjoyable.
