What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
Puraani Dilli (Old Delhi), the busiest of all places, is quite serene in the mornings. The quietness of the place, however, speaks volumes. With lonely lanes and few people around, a walk across this area will take you back to the black and white era.  The beauty of an early walk relies upon savouring the delectable dishes available only in the mornings. We take you on a journey is this maze to try an unimaginable variety of dishes from all walks and corners of India.  We try the local delicacies and experience the market opening up in the morning with crowd increasing by the second. Visit café’s and vendors that have been serving some amazing dishes from decades altogether pleasing the locals. We make sure to shape the tour according to your dietary restrictions so that you have the best experience.  SpinMonkey food tour and our food experts promise to tingle your taste buds.

      A dollop of Old Dehli
      Gaurav was an engaging and knowledgeable host. I especially enjoyed his encapsulation of Indian religious traditions. The tour itself was fascinating, and exciting, as result of being in Old Dehli traffic. The south Indian cusine breakfast, which is included in the price, was delicious. If you want a big dollop of India in a short time frame, but that leaves a lasting impression, this tour is for you.

      Unique view of the city
      We loved our tour with TJ! We woke up bright and early and started with the old wall at sunrise. We learned about spices, architecture, and visited the inside of a Sikh temple. We finished with a breakfast, sampling dishes from around the country. Great overview of Delhi with an expert guide :)

      Old City Bicycle Ride
      We rode as a family with kids. The ride & tour were fantastic, enjoyable & safe. It's an early morning ride & the route is manageable. Mostly flat road in Old Delhi. We were apprehensive about riding in the chaos of Old Delhi but were guided safely through the roads & alley ways of the Old City by Taranjit who has a passion for the city & makes the ride through the city also very informative. The organisation was great & prompt. Spin Monkey also made special arrangements for our kids 10 & 12 to ride along, so we knew they were safe. A great way to explore Delhi Old City. The breakfast stop was also a nice touch & Taranjit knows the loc foods. Would definitely recommend - a great experience.

      Marvelous expedition
      It was an amazing tour and explored the tiniest roads of old Delhi. Spin Monkey shared the detailed information of Delhi’s heritage places and buildings. Thumbs up to Spin Monkey 👍

      First incredible morning in Old Delhi
      Simply loved cycling in Old Delhi on our first morning in Delhi, we started quite early and Anchit was very helpful since the beginning of the tour. Saw the really side of Old Delhi while the sun was still rising, we had an incredible experience despite of heat in Delhi. Would highly recommend this tour to everybody coming to Delhi as the experience was very raw and real. Thanks Anchit and Irshad for the lovely experience

      Incredible cycling city tour for real adventure travellers
      By far my favourite tour from my travels through India! You literally cycle the city through dawn (less scary than it sounds), and sample fresh bread, navigate the spice and morning flower markets, drink masala chai and get a crash course in Delhi history. Absolutely brilliant! One not to miss in Delhi.

      Must do activity!
      The thought of doing a bike tour in Delhi sounds so daunting...but this experience wasn't at all! It was so much fun, and felt safe throughout! The stops throughout and the history told, were things I would not of seen/learnt had I of been on my own going around the city. Definitely a must do activity when in Delhi!

      Really recommend!
      This is such a fun and unique way to see old Delhi, an area that is hard to see on your own. It sounds like a crazy idea but the guys have planned the route well and in the morning the traffic isn’t too bad. You learn a lot and taste some good food too!

      Fun private bike ride for 2 - gives glimpse of delhi life
      Fun and interesting early morning ride. We are 50+ competent occasional recreational riders. Saw authentic bread makers, hard working Sikh volunteers feeding the masses, architecture, history, pigeon racing all in old Delhi. Would highly recommend. Guide was fun and informative and kept us engaged with his questions.

      Really interesting insight into Old Delhi
      We had a really wonderful experience with Anchit. We went to some very special and interesting places that we would never have found or known about on our own. We got close to people's daily activities and Anchit explained these to us so we could understand what was going on. He really made the city come alive in a way that would not have happened without this tour. We were especially moved by our visit to the Sikh temple and witnessing the amazing charitable activity going on there. Thank you so much Anchit. If we ever return to Delhi we will come back for another tour to learn more about your incredible diverse city.

      Highly recommended!
      An excellent tour, I've been on a lot and this totally stands out from the crowd! It's definitely not the crappy overview kind of tour where the host has a cheesy script and half the details aren't true - Anchit is the opposite of that! It was like having a very knowledgeable friend showing you around. He went out of his way to make it very personalized, and even made some impromptu stops along the way when he spotted something neat. He made an effort to get to know us and what we would be interested in so he could highlight accordingly. Also, he goes out of his way to avoid places where tourists will be swarming, and he knows many layers of detail about the history and importance of each place. Anchit was so conscientious about arriving early and being prepared, and extremely helpful with everything. He even looked up which exit door I should take from the metro station! And he was very safety conscious when guiding us along the streets as the traffic started getting busy toward the end of our tour. He was like a human shield to us! Anchit is a very nice person - humble and accommodating. This is not the kind of tour where you feel pressured to buy things at shops -in fact, there's no shopping on the tour at all! Just really unique info and experiences where you can truly see behind the scenes of Old Delhi.

      A great way to see Old Delhi
      What an unique experience!!! The guides at Spin Monkey were friendly and professional along with giving a great explanation of the city as we went along. We watched the city come to life as the sun rose stopping at the bakery, a Sikh temple, the community kitchen and the Old Spice Market. The rooftop Masala Chai tea stop was probably my favourite thing! Special mention to Gaurav for keeping us safe whilst cycling the crazy busy streets! A must do whilst in Delhi!

      Crazy Good Fun!
      I highly recommend these guys - one of the best tours I did on a recent trip to India - and I did quite a few. Anchit & team were awesome! It was an early start (6:15 am) but worth it as you see Old Delhi awaken and by the time you finish (10:30 am) the place is bustling with life. I was at first a bit wary of cycling in Old Delhi traffic but it was fine and really enjoyed it - just wish I had a louder bell to compete with those beeping horns all around!! Honestly, though - it is very safe - nothing to worry about.

    The booking process is easy and you get picked up at your hotel at 5:30am for a 6am start in old Delhi. Typically there are 10 -12 people in the group, led by 2 guides. All the bikes are new and easy to ride. The 3 hour cycle through old Delhi is fantastic, you could not do this by yourself, as you would never find your way out! As the morning progresses,. the lane ways get more busy, but still the cycling is easy. Well recommended way to see the real Delhi.

    TJ was a fantastic guide for our cycle tour of Old Delhi. So much packed in, we got to see areas from a unique point of view. Highlights included tour of Sikh place of worship and flower market. Well paced and very informative.

    great time with Spin Monkey on bikes for early biking along Old Delhi. Amazing stories to be told, great places to be seen. Our guides took great care of us especially when crossing big junctions (everyone knows how indian road look like) and changed the route a bit when they got to know that once place was aready seen by us.

    Actually, we went to India to celebrate my best friend's jubilee birthday. Thus, about 2 months before the trip I was thinking how to organize the day to be memorable. Contacted several people and companies in Delhi asking for suggestions. And suddenly I found SpinMonkey on internet! Anchit Doegar was so creative, great and patience while I was changing my mind several times per day. As we are not very good at cycling,- decided just to walk in the Old Delhi in the morning with a guide. We visited the most interesting places of the old city leading by two the most professional Indian guides. The birthday was really a wonderful day, full of new experiences and surprises!!! Everything was done extremely glamorous, culturally, informatively. And Anchit helped us a lot after the tour, as we had to leave the city for Agra in the evening. He even organized a taxi for us as it was not easy for a foreigner to order a car on internet.
    My friend was incredibly happy about her birthday.
    If you ever come to Delhi, I strongly advise to contact SpinMonkeys for sightseeing tour in the city. The company has so many suggestions for each client how to make the day mostly memorable. No doubt !!!

    The guys who run SpinMonkey are the perfect balance of fun and professional.

    Could not have asked for a better company to walk you safely through the manic streets of Old Delhi.

    So much more than a food tour, it's sightseeing, culture, history all while feeling safe and having an absolute blast!

    Do yourself a favour and get yourself on one of their tours.
