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.

A half day city tour to explore major Awadhi style monuments.
Overview of your Lucknow tour
Lucknow is the capital city for the state of Uttar Pradesh. A city flourished in the late of eighteenth century under the patronage of Nawabs and 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 and culture. This is the city where a very specific way of salutation 'Aadaab' and language of 'Aap Janab' and 'Pahley Aap - After You' still prevails. In 18th - 19th century, very distinct architectural work had started under the reign of Nawabs in Awadh(Oudh) and the centre was Lucknow. This was the time when bricks and mortar have written a new story that is narrated till date. 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.
