The multi-day tour with Harshit through Delhi, Agra and Jaipur was wonderfully organized and there was always room for an individual touch and orientation. Harshit has brought historical details and political as well as social and culinary aspects to me, thus bringing me closer to Indian culture. I can't imagine a better tour guide. Absolutely recommended to travel with Harshit! Genial!

Old Delhi - not just seeing, but understanding!

E3048KCguidob, Nov 2024

As an introduction to a three-week trip to India, we were guided through the bazaars of Old Dehli by Harshit, Dreamlike India Holidays. Without our guide Harshit we would have been completely lost in the jungle of small streets and alleys, in the confusing frenzy of a thousand scents and smells and in the pulsating noise of dealers and honking motorcycles. We were guided through the bazaar, past paper printers, dyers and hairdressers, to small and larger Hindu and Jain stamping facilities. The strong religiousness of the people was impressive and the mutual consideration defies the crowds. We felt the accompanying information from our guide was important, which gave us a deeper insight into the events. On the surface, of course, everyone can also walk alone through the bazaars and temples, which can understand events and peculiarities, but only with good guidance and accompaniment. All this was conveyed to us by our German-speaking guide Harshit from Dreamlike India Holidays.

Enriching Journey through Delhi's Heritage and Culture with Dreamlike India Holidays

964suraja, Jul 2024

Our day with Dreamlike India Holidays exploring Delhi was truly remarkable. The tour was a perfect blend of historical exploration and cultural immersion. Starting with a captivating heritage walk through Old Delhi's bustling bazaars, we soaked in the sights, sounds, and flavors of this vibrant area. The visit to Raj Ghat, where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated, was a peaceful moment of reflection amid beautifully maintained gardens. At Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, we were deeply moved by the serene atmosphere and the community spirit of the Langar, where everyone is welcome to share a meal. India Gate and Qutub Minar offered awe-inspiring perspectives on India's history and architectural marvels. Throughout the tour, our guide was knowledgeable and passionate, enriching our experience with insights and stories. The logistics were smooth, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable day for our family. Overall, we highly recommend Dreamlike India Holidays for an enriching exploration of Delhi's heritage and culture. It was a trip filled with unforgettable moments and genuine connections.
