If you are one of those westerners that has become addicted to the many walking tours in Europe, like we have, then you should love this. We started early in the morning, 05:40, with our brilliant guide Leena. She walked us through the residential areas to experience daily Indian traditions, then, through the markets. Leena very politely asked if we wanted to sample some local food and beverages along the route, which we definitely did, so the tour becomes a foody tour if you want it too. We finished by experiencing a local breakfast with Leena. This is not a historical trip round the city, this is more personal and gives a special insight in to the everyday lives of local people. The tour we’ve most enjoyed in all 3 of our trips to India as you won’t find it in any guide book.
