I am a licensed private tour guide since 1989. I love meeting people, guiding them to experience the life, culture and people of my country India. I have traveled widely in India, especially almost all major tourist destinations in the south. I also traveled to other countries. I have been with my guests to entire southern India, starting from Mumbai to southern states Andhra Pradesh, Telengana, Karnatka, Goa, Tamilnadu, Pondichery and Kerala. I like to offer to my guests the experience of our cultural, social and political life taking them to markets, villages, schools, festivals, family rituals etc. Join me to have an authentic feel of a memorable journey! - Guide licence issued by the ministry of tourism, govt. of India. - Successfully participated in training programs conducted by various international tourism agencies. I am not a driver. I will arrange for a separate car and driver.
