Delhi Shopping Tour with Local Guide Duration: 4.5 Hours Price: INR 1550 Per Person
Shopping in Delhi is exciting, but it can also be crowded, confusing and difficult to navigate on your own. You may find hundreds of shops selling similar products but still wonder where to shop, whether the price is fair or how to recognise good quality.
My Delhi Shopping Tour gives you a private local companion who knows Delhi’s markets and can help you discover them at your own pace.
Tell me what you want to buy, your approximate budget, how much time you have and where you are staying. I can then suggest a shopping route around your interests — whether you are looking for Indian clothes, jewellery, handicrafts, spices, souvenirs, textiles, shawls or something more unusual.
We may explore Old Delhi and Chandni Chowk, browse Janpath or Lajpat Nagar, visit Dilli Haat for handicrafts or choose another market that suits you.
Trying on a saree is often one of the most memorable moments of a Delhi Shopping Tour.
If you would also like to explore Delhi’s historic sights, see my Delhi Guided Tour for private sightseeing experiences.
You don’t just go shopping in Delhi — you experience Delhi with a local.
