Hello & Aadaab ! 'Aadaab' is Lucknow's very own salutation to greet someone. 'Aadaab' is a plural form of the Persian word 'Adab' literally means 'respect to all forms'. This secular term of greeting was introduced by the Last Nawab of Awadh (Oudh) - Nawab Wajid Ali Shah. My name is Ravi, born and brought up in a nearby place to Lucknow and now for many years residing in Lucknow. I grew up with an immense love and interest for travel and history. My interest in Travel later lead me to pursue a career in this field. As a result of it I have completed my graduation programme in Tourism & Travel. Along with all that I had also got a golden opportunity to work with an Inbound Tour Company in the year 2012. Since then I have been involved in many assignments and completed them quite successfully under various capacity. Most of the time this was the role of full time Monument-Story Teller but yes I also enjoyed the role of a Tour Leader, Language Interpreter and Tour Product Researcher and developer. During these years, I was much honoured to show our city to many visitors including few renowned people across the globe, authors and travel bloggers and have found mention in few articles (online/off-line) on national and international level. In all these years I have also developed my keen interest in Photography, specially Food Photography, Architecture, Life-Style, Religious Mythology, Indian History and Podcast. Lucknow and I, we both are always happy to assist and welcome you here. Will wait for you. Sukriya (Thank You) ! Professional Experience >Working as a Professional Monument Story Teller and Tour Leader in Lucknow since last 10 Years. >Worked as an Interpreter for few International Organisations. >Worked with premier tour operator. Educational Qualification Bachelor Of Arts (Tourism Management) From IGNOU **Completed Both Round of Vaccination Against Covid-19** I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle during tour and can guide in English or Hindi, no other language.

Overview of your Lucknow tour

Lucknow is the capital city for the state of Uttar Pradesh. Flourished in late of 18th century under the patronage of Nawabs & better known for its etiquette and mannerism across the globe, earlier the capital for the province of Awadh(Oudh), Lucknow has been known for its sophisticated language & culture. The city where a very specific way of salutation 'Aadaab' & language of 'Aap Janab' & 'Pahley Aap - After You' still prevails. Apart from all this cultural legacy, the city is well known for various architectural beauties (for that we have this very specific tour) & lip-smacking food like - Kebabs & Biryani. A visit to this city will definitely put anyone in wonder. We will visit Asafi Imambada Complex, Turkish Gate, Clock Tower, Satkhanda, Hussainabad Imambada, Picture Gallery, Lucknow Residency & La-Martiniere during this full day tour. Since I am a local & showing these areas for last eleven years thus I have a close understanding of monuments, places and stories I would love to share with others.

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of taking a tour in Lucknow with Ravi as our guide, and it was an exceptional experience. Ravi’s deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and architecture truly brought the sights to life. He provided fascinating insights and stories that went beyond the usual tourist information, making the tour both engaging and enriching. His passion for the city was evident, and he ensured that every question was answered with detail. I highly recommend Ravi to anyone looking for an informative and memorable experience in Lucknow.

Mr. Ravi did the job with patience, commitment and sincerity. He was prompt to report before the appointed time in the morning and planned the tour well. He was well informed about the various monuments. Last but not the least, his sweet gesture of gifting a book about the history of Lucknow is much appreciated.
