Delhi questions

Good evening all

two questions on Delhi:

(1) where are good tea shops? especially for herbal teas. i am running out of my supply of peppermint tea

(2) looking for a one day tour to Agra from Delhi, can you recommend a cheap and chic tourist agency not exclusively for foreigners but which is also used by Indian tourists?

thanks

Volga

I would also highly recommend Namaste India Tours.

I was originally going to take a train to Agra, but due to a 6 hour delay, I decided to get a driver instead. Within minutes after calling Namaste, they arranged a driver for the trip down and while I was there at a very reasonable cost.

I'm sure they would be able to find a driver that would get you there, take you where ever YOU wanted to go, and bring you back. Good Luck!

volga,

For a variation of herbal tea, you may try the Himachal Emporium on Baba Kharak Singh Marg. There is a tea branded "Himalayan Amrit", made in H.P. and should be available here. The tea's quite good.

For a good flavour you may also try "Kangra Tea", made in Palampur,H.P. and normally available at the Himachal Emporium.
