Born in Agra and spend my childhood days just 50 metres away from Taj Mahal wall, always fascinated with the beauty of the monuments , culture, history of my country and city. My childhood memories are playing in gardens of Taj Mahal with my friends, running in narrow lanes of colony built by Emperor Shah Jahan for the workers who built his dream monument dedicated to his wife. Living in a big family as a kid heard many tales from my grandfather and great grandfather of the city, history and culture of India. I myself Rizwan believe, a journey through India is enriching, inspiring and unforgettable. Namaste, I am working as tour guide for many 5 star and other leading hotels, foreign embassies and foreign missions, multi-national companies, travel agents etc. for past 18 years. I have the license by Ministry of Tourism, Government of India to work as a tour guide. Interesting travel experiences for interested people, that's what I believes. I like to interact to my clients, find out what their interests are and create individualized itineraries to suit their needs. I think of myself as travel architect, reaching into the vast knowledge and experience to find the perfect combination of experiences for each client. I also believe that Guides are cultural ambassador of one country. As local to the area, AGRA, I share my passion for the place I grew up in and take the guests sightseeing experience to a whole new level, showing them specific sights like Taj Mahal in more detail. I get the privilege to be the tour guide of Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton, Mark Zuckerberg, Leonardo dicaprio, Robert Gates, Donald Sutherland, Sharon Stone etc. . . . Book me through my tours to experience the wealth of knowledge through fascinating stories, facts and my own life experience as local boy and I will ensure that you will take the best memories from India and every city of the tour. 1.

    Our group of 3 from the USA had an excellent tour of the Taj and Red Fort with Rizwan. He's very professional, well organized, and knowledgeable. We particularly appreciated how he planned our visit so that we were at the Taj when it was less crowded.

He was also quite accommodating in every aspect of our tour. We will...

    This was a flawless tour from start to finish, and Rizwan is a great host/guide. He was waiting for us at the Agra train station (we had taken the 8am express train from Delhi), and brought us to the Taj. He regaled us with the history, knew all the best spots for pictures, and kept things interesting by occasionally quizzing us on things we could guess at. He was...
