This is the real Govt. of India Tourism Office. They don't sell anything. You go in there and these lovely people will help you with your trip planning and suggest things to do. You can go in and ask them anything about travel in India and Delhi. I've been there multiple times and the staff are very sweet. Please be aware that there are many fake tourism offices in this area trying to scam tourists. Don't trust anyone on the street when they say they'll take you to the Govt. tourism office, they'll take you to a fake office and make commission off you and you'll be overcharged and put in high pressure situations in these scam travel agencies.

An elaborate scam involving multiple parties including friendly strangers in the street and tuktuk drivers who all work on commission to drive business through this fake tourist office. We spend 1,5 hour sightseeing in Delhi with our driver and "friend", before we were driven to the Tourist Information. After leaving the place knowing it was a scam, they wanted us to go to a different tourist information that they could guarantee wasn't a scam.

Total scam, they say train tickets are sold out. We went to a legitimate place and found cheap tickets.

An elaborate scam involving multiple parties including friendly strangers in the street and tuktuk drivers who all work on commission to drive business through this fake tourist office. It is In fact an overpriced travel agency which gives a “free map” while telling you your original plans are dangerous/ incorrect/ risky/ expensive/ wrong, while they can organise quick, easy and reliable trains, planes and hotels. Remember, this is all a lie. The people in the build up may masquerade as friendly students/ passers by when in fact they are getting payment based on how much the fake tourism office can rip you off.

Scam! Elaborate one though :) We were helped on the street by a guy who “worked in our hotel” ( must have followed us from the hotel), then he suggested us to go to “the official government tourist office” to arrange the rest of our trip ( Agra tour), as they are the only genuine organisation run by government 🤦🏼‍♀️ He put us in a tuk tuk, suspiciously clean one, and the driver also kept convincing us we need a one day Agra tour. We finally reached the office which did say Tourist Office run by the gov of India. ( fake). They outlined a whole tour and almost when we were about to pay (£500), I looked at the Google reviews of this place :) and we walked away. So a happy ending, but could have been quite a bad experience.

We met an Indian guy who we hung out with for part of the day and then he recommended we go here and get some free information. He wanted to speak a little hindi to the guy first to explain for us which we thought was fine... Turns out the office only really exists to scare foreigners into canceling their plans and booking expensive tours through them! We heard also they give commissions to Indians who bring tourists there. The guide working there said they were officially licensed by the govt and that our tickets via 12goasia were not properly valid as we are not Indian and we would be fined - this is a LIE. Avoid at all costs.

This is a tourist trap and unfortunately I fell for it. Avoid at all costs. I wish I had read the other reviews here before being loured into their office by people pretending to be helpful but work on commission. They pretend to be representing the government of India. They are not. They are just a scam travel agency. The hotel I was given was nothing like the pics and overpriced. The train tickets were supposed to be flexible and penalty free. They were non refundable non exchangeable .

This is only one government run office in Delhi!Refer to the pictures and note the address is 88, Janpath, Janpath road, Opp. Janpath Market. REMEMBER THIS PLACE DOES NOT SELL ANYTHING! We were approached numerous times by scammers telling us that this place was closed and that there are other offices around. One even offered a 20 rupee ride to the office. Don't fall for it! There is the one true giveaway that you may have been taken to a 'fake' office, when they start 'selling' you things. Although there is a lot of improvements needed for the service side of things, we definitely felt safe coming here. Remember this place only provides information, so remember to ask the right questions and make discreet choices. Also, do your own research before coming to India as there are many scams on foreigners. Watch YouTuber's like Karl Rock and he will save you from so much heartache. Have a safe journey everyone :)

Beware: this office is a tourist scam. I wanted to book a train ticket and they refused. Instead they wanted me to buy a three week train pass for about 400$. Everybody who knows train prices in India knows that this is astronomical.

My friend and I touched down in New Delhi and wanted to walk to our hotel which is near the train station. We were told that we cannot access to the area due to on going riot and political issues. We were told to get a free protection pass from the authority in order to enter the area where our hotel is. We were quite worried as the rail way station itself looks quite chaotic. So But we end up in a small office and the guy was trying to sell us overpriced tour package. So we left the place. After we left the place, a guy approached us and told us that he will bring us to the real tourism office. We agreed and used Google map to track the location. But end up he brought us to fake tourism office which is near to this real India Tourism office. The officer told us New Delhi is safe and no riot or whatever. The officer helped us to contact our hotel and send people down to pick up. This is the only place where you can talk to people can be trusted. They only provide information and will not sell you anything.

Scam, people on the streets guide you there saying things that scare tourists. (e.g. maleria plague broke out in the neighbourhood we stayed at). They could provide us a nice hotel, and a complete booked trip including train tickets, accomodation, food, etc. If we cancelled everything and booked overpriced with them. Definitely a scam!

This IS the genuine tourist office. This is NOT the one you tuber Karl rock visited. (In the video he is stood outside this one to start, but it is a different one he enters). Any ‘scam’ reviews on here are from people who mistakenly clicked to review this one, or from scammers themselves downvoting here. This IS the genuine government tourist office.

The legitimate tourist office, they will not sale anything, they will just give you good advised on what you can do on your stay in India, and if requested, recommend a decent travel agency where you can get a driver, plan your whole trip, or what ever you think your experience in India should be. Weird thing about the other reviews is that those who have reviewed this agency with one star are Indian people, I hope I 've made my point.

SCAM. They say they are governmental organisation, which is a total fraud, even the driver hired by this office is a fraudster taking you to places where he is comissionned. Only if the places were worthy, they of course were not! Waste of time, and continuous scams.. I got charged 90 USD for this fraudster driver for 4h trip, the entrance fees and tour guide service were excluded even though they were supposed to be included. The stupid fraudster driver was just driving me around..trying to rip me off as much as he could. Worst experience I’ve ever had. To avoid absolutely

Guys if you see a tourist place other than this do not go there that is a scam not this one cuz it is government run.

This is the only official government tourist office! Scammers around try to divert you from this place. We got map for free and they answered all of our questions regarding city and rail travel. So bad to see how many scammers gave this place bad review.

This is the genuine government tourism office. All the negetive reviews are either from scammers to defame so that people come to their fake office and get scammed, or from people who had mistaken this one as fake aswell because there's a lot of fake government tourism offices in CP

What great service!! The staff could not possibly have done anything more to help us. This is the government tourist office. They are explicit about the fact they do not make any bookings or take any money. But they will give you all the information you need to go do it for your self. Anyone who put the bad reviews about a rip-off were not at this place. So if you find yourself being asked for payment leave because you are not in the right place.

This is the real official Tourism Office, run by government. It took me quite some time to get there. Many people gave me wrong directions or Tuk-Tuks brought me to the wrong offices (to private ones). Hardly no one will give you a right direction. They won't push you in the government Tourism office and as far as I know they don't sell you anything. But you'll get good information. Good luck to you

Scam office, taxi ,rickshaw or also Indian people woh pretend to help you will send you here and tell you it's a government tourist office which is not. IT IS A PRIVATE OFFICE RUN BY INDIVIDUAL!!!.

(Translated by Google) I sympathize with you that you decided to come to India! Prepare to be deceived everywhere! This firm is no exception! The more naive and trusting you are, the more you will be divorced for big money. First, count what you will do for self-relocations and hotels, compare the same positions with the agent in the hotel and be surprised at the prices in this "farm". (Original) Сочувствую вам, что вы решились приехать в Индию! Приготовьтесь, что вас будут обманывать везде! Эта фирма не исключение! Чем более вы наивны и доверчивы - тем на большие деньги вас разведут. Сначала посчитайте во что вам обойдётся самостоятельные переезды и отели, сравните те же позиции у агента в отеле и удивитесь ценам в этой "ферме".

5 years ago I was there. They have been very very friendly and helpful. You can trust them. They gave me some food and one of the employees drove me to the places i had on my wishlist for the two days in Delhi. They also created a great travel rout through Rajasthan, wich was the first trip during my 6 month in incredible India. There was a guy named Karan. I don’t know if he’s still working there, but he was incredible nice to me and never left me alone 🙏🏽🖤🙏🏽🖤🙏🏽

Scam, be aware. They try to oversell and provide very very poor service after you bought their services. Call the police, if you bought anything, then you'll hopefully get a refund

Ayyyy Karl Rock commented. Who else is here from Karl Rock?

Simply do not accept any of their offers. They are super overpriced and disorganized. They will also ask you to leave a deposit for a taxi ride, that is when you know you are being looted. Ask your hotel for a driver.

Attention! Scam Office! They offer you overpriced bus, trains and Hotels! There is NO offical Goverment Tourist Office. Go to Redbus or 12goAsia and book for yourself. Easy & cheap. Karma will get you Guys!

This is the only official tourist office in Delhi. Only go here and pick a travel agency from their list. All the others are scammers. If you got scammed by a different travel agency claiming to be governmental, you must come here. This office helped us to get a full refund from a scamming travel agency. They saved us over 90000 rupees. Thank you thank you thank you.

The good part they did not ask money from us. Once you visit you will understand this place is run by the Indian government.

This is there real office on India Tourism

Hey guys! This agency is totally fake and fraud. Karl rock is a YouTuber, who caught them and shoot a video too. Stay away from scammers.. Don't trust them. They have a fake board of indian tourism on his office. Guys don't visit there and don't trust them.. #nahichahiyeji

I think people who have left reviews of this place being a scam are mistaken as to where they were actually taken. We couldn't get a tuk tuk driver to take us here (but they insisted they had taken us to the 'real office' of course) at best they dropped us off at a fake Government office nearby so we had to walk. This office however is a REAL OFFICE and definitely worth the effort in getting to. They were able to answer many questions we had about booking train tickets as we kept getting lied to by scammers. They didnt book anything for us and instead showed us how to set up our own online account to book tickets directly through IRCTC. They printed off information and gave us phone numbers for their office as well as local and federal police so we felt more secure leaving there (we had lots of issues with scammers). The office is large with many counters. If you are taken somewhere small you are at the wrong office.

SCAM

Horrible experience! They try to scam you. Do not go there!

I went to the railway station to buy a ticket at the international tourism counter and guys walked up to me and told me the counter has been closed and I should come here. That is not true!!! You just need to get to the other side of the rail station where the real international tourist Bureau is. You can google it also to find it.

Terrible service they are scammers they charge u double the actual price they are scam artists in general don’t go they are big retarded SCAMERS

(Translated by Google) WARNING! We went to India for 1 month in August. We went to India Toursim Delhi which is touted as the one and only official tourist office in the city by the backpacker and we would not qualify this office as official. We were lied to indicating that the trains were full for the next 2 weeks, we were offered a 2 week tour with driver and the last week's trips by sleeper train. We were told that we could go anywhere with the driver, make the route as we go, "you are the boss", which means that we were really disappointed when the driver replied that the detours were 50 kms maximum around the planned stopover towns ... For the last week, we had asked for category 2A for the train, we were finally surprised to find ourselves in 3A. The man who was our ASIF contact kept telling us that we had misunderstood, that we had to take advantage, that train seats were complicated to book, and yet we met other travelers who had booked their tickets. places 2 days before ... We also paid an incredible price, the pseudo adviser manipulated and bamboozled us in less than an hour taking advantage of the fact that we are in an unknown country and inviting us to trust him! In short, we wanted to alert because we relied on this office on the pretext that it was official and we have a more than bitter taste of this experience, it spoiled part of the trip, if we could avoid that it happens to others! (Original) ATTENTION! Nous sommes parties 1 mois en Inde en août. Nous nous sommes rendues au India Toursim Delhi, présenté comme seul et unique office de tourisme officiel de la ville par le routard et nous ne qualifierions pas cet office comme officiel. On nous a menti en indiquant que les trains étaient pleins pour les 2 prochaines semaines, on nous a proposé un tour de 2 semaines avec chauffeur et les déplacements de la dernière semaine en train couchette. On nous a indiqué que nous pouvions nous rendre n'importe où avec le chauffeur, faire l'itinéraire au fur et à mesure, "you are the boss", autant dire qu'on a été sacrément déçues quand le chauffeur nous a répondu que les détours étaient de 50 kms maximum autour des villes étapes prévues... Pour la dernière semaine, nous avions demandé la catégorie 2A pour le train, nous avons finalement eu la surprise de nous retrouver en 3A. L'homme qui était notre contact ASIF n'a cessé de nous répéter que nous avions mal compris, qu'il fallait profiter, que les places de train étaient compliquées à réserver, et pourtant on a croisé d'autres voyageurs qui avaient réservé leurs places 2 jours avant... On a aussi payé un prix hallucinant, le pseudo conseiller nous a manipulé et embobiné en moins d'une heure profitant du fait qu'on soit dans un pays inconnu et nous invitant à lui faire confiance! Bref, on voulait alerter parce qu'on s'est fiées à cet office sous prétexte que c'était officiel et on garde un goût plus qu'amer de cette expérience, ça nous a gâché une partie du voyage, si on pouvait éviter que ça arrive à d'autres!

Every positive review is fake. The agency has a lot of fake profiles. These guys got caught red handed in Karl Rock's video. Stay away from scammers.

Hope less staff at ITDC Janpath. Today on 07Oct, 2019, I visited the office just to enquire about procedure for getting parmit to enter Lakshdweep island. The official sitting there gave me computer prints of write up on Lakshdweep, which pertains to year 2010-2011, means 8 year old data. They don't have replies to our querries nor they make efforts to arrange information for visiting tourist. Better search on internet your self.

Corruption,stealing,scam of clients, everything negstive what was mentioned by others giving 1 star I can say I personally exprrienced. The real average rating is also a cheat because amany guides, who are no clients and earn their money at this office give I review score of 5. Probsbly these /in fact employees /subcontractors are payed to write high scores. Without their revies the avetage would come to approx. 2.0 which is very low.

These scammers are not connected to the Government. Dont go there and dont waste your money, energy and time.

(Translated by Google) Really disappointing experience, is not an official office at all. We were bungled by two tuktuk at the exit of the airport in this agency while we wanted to go to our hotel. They first made us believe that the hotel was full by calling one of their friend and then finally telling us that the hotel was concerned that we had booked it on booking. We insisted on going to our hotel and the staging where he shows us a bad street and one of them stops the tuktuk and tells us it's too dangerous. Back to the agency, they wanted to offer us a tour and change hotels. Can not access the wifi or phone. We ended up finding an uber who took us to our hotel which is great! (Original) Expérience vraiment décevante, n'est pas une office officielle du tout. Nous avons été rabbatu par deux tuktuk a la sortie de l aéroport dans cette agence alors que nous voulions nous rendre à notre hôtel. Ils nous ont d abord fait croire que l hôtel était plein en appelant un de leur ami puis finalement nous ont dit que l hôtel craignait alors que nous l avions réservé sur booking. Nous avons insisté pour nous rendre à notre hôtel et la mise en scène ou il nous montre une mauvaise rue et l'un d'eux arrête le tuktuk et nous dit que c'est trop dangereux. De retour à l agence, ils ont voulu nous proposer un circuit et changer d hotel. Impossible d'avoir accès à la wifi ou au téléphone. Nous avons fini par trouver un uber qui nous a emmené dans notre hôtel qui est super !

The Government of india tourist office in Delhi address is, 88 Janpath New Delhi- 110001. Request to the tourist that Please don't go to any other address for any information & facilitation.

Scam. they say they are goverment tourist office which is not true. Trying to sell you overpriced trips and I don’t think you even get anything. They will show you fake messages with tourists how they are so happy they are with their services. Don’t go for that.

This is the only and real Tourism office operated by Government

This is Real tourism office. People should up vote this one. Then the fake ones would not be seen as the ones with good reviews.

Definitely a SCAM

Very friendly and helpful people. I have been there after reading the advice in my travel guide that I should be careful with all fake agencies around. So I made sure the taxi driver would bring me to this correct location by checking over Google maps if I am at the correct location. This is the genuine Tourist Office of the Government in Delhi. Be aware, all other agencies are not the real Tourist Office.

I have visited North India twice in the past 9 months.I have found India has a lot to offer but the attitude of the some shopkeepers,street sellers ,rickshaw operators and taxi drivers puts tourist off and discourages us from recommending india as holiday destination to our friends and relatives.The instant hiking of prices by the above vendors and the pressure put by them on the tourists,is a discouraging factor in recommending India as a tourism destination.Richshaw and auto drivers fighting amongst them to take on the tourist is a real sham.Forcing people to sit in their rickshaws or autos is real shameful.We, tourists from other parts of the world,though we may be of Indian origin,find it very disturbing to be harassed and cheated.Prime Minister Modi is doing a great job trying to improve India. The people of India need to become honest and stop cheating tourists if they want to make more money from tourists.A happy tourist will go out of his way to give extra money anyway, so instead of using dirty tactics,honesty and fair play will ultimately lead to more benefits for the tour operators and guides..I hope the tourism board of india puts in a concerted effort in trying to standardise the rickshaw ,auto and concerned transport operators and market/shop sellers so that tourist find it free to move and shop around.

(Translated by Google) Actually, I just wanted to get a map of Delhi. But then I have a full day tour with a local driver. Since I have a lot of time, I agreed. 50 minutes to late, he twice tried to drag me into a bazaar. I said that I was interested in it. He was angry because my refusal to visit the bazaar would cause him problems. Furthermore, I paid for this service and overdrawn it. Beware of these scammers. Unfortunately, I can not say anything else. Actually, I just wanted a map of Delhi. But then I was persuaded by all means of art to do a full day city tour with a driver.

I said that I was not interested in it, I booked it to do sightseeing. He was angry because my refusal to visit the bazaar would cause him problems. Furthermore, I learned from my host that the price I paid for this service was completely overdrawn. Beware of these scammers. Unfortunately, I can not say anything else.

Doch dann wurde ich mit allen Mitteln der Kunst überredet, eine ganztägige Stadtbesichtigung mit einem Driver zu machen. Da ich viel Zeit hatte, sagte ich zu. Nicht nur, dass der Driver mich um 50 Minuten zu spät von meinem Quartier abholte, versuchte er zweimal, mich in einen Bazar zu schleppen. Ich sagte, dass ich daran nicht interessiert sei, ich habe ihn gebucht, um Sightseeing zu machen. Daraufhin war er sauer, weil meine Ablehnung (den Basar zu besuchen) ihm Probleme bereiten würde. Des Weiteren erfuhr ich von meinem Quartiergeber, dass der Preis, den ich für diesen Service zahlte, vollkommen überzogen sei. Vorsicht vor diesen Betrügern. Etwas Anderes kann ich leider nicht sagen.

Yes the place is good , and you had to know that for adults people entry fee is 40 rs . And good place for see history

Great people

REAL GENUINE OFFICE from Government of India.

(Translated by Google) Well, it's a boring thing, but this time it's a lot more complicated and organized tour (even if it's the first day inn and train ticket for the whole day) I'm not convinced ... this time it is divisible I was allowed to choose a hotel, and I personally don't hate boss sharma. It's likely that it will hit the rip-off with a blessing (Original) まあぼったくりちゃぁぼったくりなんだけど今回はなんかもう色々めんどくさくなって組まされたツアー(言っても初日の宿と全日程の電車のチケットくらい)もまあ納得できなくはない…今回は割り切ったかな他のホテルの選択の余地も許されたし個人的にはボスのsharmaさんは嫌いじゃないしね タダメシ恵んでもらっといてぼったくりというのもバチが当たりそうだが

Scam. do not go there

(Translated by Google) This is a snatch tour company. An expensive tour is organized by a man called sharmen who speaks Japanese. An airport taxi, a human who wanders around New Delhi Station, a driver in Rickshire, all guru. Don't step inside. It is rounded. It seems that not only Japanese but also tourists from other countries are fooled by their language skills. Please run away. This is a fraudulent tour company. Airport taxis, people around New Delhi station, drivers of Rickcher, all are companions.Do not step in a step.Not only Japanese but also foreign tourists have been deceived.Escape to. (Original) ここはぼったくりツアー会社です。 日本語を喋るsharmenと言う男に高額なツアーを組まされます。空港タクシー、ニューデリー駅周辺をウロつく人間、リクシャーの運転手、全てがグルです。一歩も中へ入らない事。丸め込まれます。日本人だけでなく、他の国のツーリストも言葉巧みに騙されているようです。逃げて下さい。 This is a fraudulent tour company. Airport taxis, people around New Delhi station, drivers of Rickcher, all are companions. Do not step in a step. Not only Japanese but also foreign tourists have been deceived. Escape to.

The location is great easy to access in the heart of new delhi ..

(Translated by Google) It is a good place to take City Tours, they will not fool you like in the other office that makes you scam. Notice that it is the place of the photo. (Original) Es buen lugar para tomar Tours por la ciudad, no te van a engañar como en la otra oficina que te hacen scam. Fíjense que sea el lugar de la foto.

Great place for tourism jobs it's a totally government job head office and apply via SSC exams and UPSC exams then you'll get a job here 😊

it's government tourist information centre but do not help tourist to exactly what they want they just tell them go there go there go there better tourist people go to the private agency that will be great for them they will pay to 300 rupees extra they got deal and they will have everything train ticket bus ticket flight ticket hotel everything so my experience people go to the private agency that will be great for them thank you very much Mohan from India New Delhi

(Translated by Google) (The reason for many negative reviews is that other unscrupulous traders have temporarily deceived location information.) The photo location is correct. It is local price even from price. I think that it looks a little damaged because the appearance is a frosted glass that doesn't look like a travel agency. In other reviews, it was criticized as “official work” and “not motivated”, but when I listened to it, I listened to hope carefully and told me the recommended tour. (Original) （ネガティブレビューが多いのは、他の悪徳業者が一時的に位置情報を欺罔したのではないかとおもいます）写真の場所が正解です。値段からしても現地価格です。外見がインチキ旅行会社のように中がみえない曇りガラスなので若干損しているとおもいます。他のレビューで「役人仕事」「やる気がない」と酷評されていましたが、実際聞いてみると丁寧に希望を聞いておすすめのツアーを教えてくれました。

Excellent!!

Very humble staffs.Always ready to give honest guiding.

I think this is the real government tourism center. There is a lot of confusion over which one is real, but this one is real. Karl Rock has linked this center as real from his video description.

This real Government of India tourism office in Delhi. Negative reviews are given by scammers to divert tourist to fake ones.

THIS IS THE REAL TOURISM OFFICE! THEY DONT SELL YOU STUFF!

They tell you lies about stuff going on in the city to convince you to buy overpriced travel packages. Don‘t go there if you want to save money!!! Also this Tourist information is NOT from the government, just SCAMMERS! Viele Grüße

Everything is perfect.
