The guide Mr Qayoom ensured that felt safe as a solo female traveller and gave informative talks about each site visited. He was very good at ensuring appropriate customs followed and that tickets were purchased in a timely manner. I would say a highlight was the rickshaw ride through old Delhi and seeing the red fort.
