Namaste Dear Traveler… My Name is Vishnu, and I'm a professional tour guide of Northern India, approved by the Ministry of Tourism, Govt of India. My area of expertise are New Delhi, Agra & Jaipur, which is also known as the Golden Triangle of India. I have an experience of more then 10 years with almost 2000 successful local and outstation tours catering to over 10000 satisfied overseas guests from almost all the countries around the world. Guiding and tour escorting have been my passion from very beginning because my father and my grandfather both were tour guide, so I'm the third generation in this profession. Hence I did my master in Indian history from MDS University. Teaching, reading, traveling, exploring new sites & places of tourist interest are my hobbies. So far as I am able to judge, nothing has been left undone, either by man or nature, to make India the most extraordinary country that the sun visits on his rounds. Nothing seems to have been forgotten, nothing overlooked. It is impossible not to be astonished by India. Nowhere on Earth does humanity present itself in such a dizzying, creative burst of cultures and religions, races and tongues. Every aspect of the country presents itself on a massive, exaggerated scale, worthy in comparison only to the superlative mountains that overshadow it. Perhaps the only thing more difficult than to be indifferent to India would be to describe or understand India completely. From the above qualifications, INDIA is one of the best destination for travelers, which I'm proud of and would like to share with all visitors. I would be very appreciative to be your private guide in my beautiful country, besides those program tours I'm also happy to CUSTOMIZE program for your desired. Being a cultural ambassador of my country , I have a very good knowledge of India and it's Lifestyle & Nightlife , Culture & Traditions, History & Mistry, Local food & Drinks, Do & Don't, Rules & Regulations, Monuments & Their history, Hotels & Restaurants, Local Market & Bazars, Politics & Economy, Dance & Drama, Fairs & Festivals, Museums & Public gardens, Places for Lunch & Dinner, Places of Photography, Religions & spirituality, Archeology & Architecture, Past & Present, Dress code & turbans, Opening & closing time of touristic sites, etc. I've been living in New Delhi for 17 years & all my life time I have worked within tourism industry likes Hotels, Travel Agency, Tour Operator and as freelance tour guide. More than 10 years in Tourism industry makes me confident that I am the memory makers professional tour guide Although my primary expertise areas are New Delhi (The City of Cities), Agra (The City of Love), Jaipur (The Pink City), but I also cater in: Udaipur (City of Lakes) - Jodhpur (The Blue City of India) -Jaisalmer (The Golden City of India) - Pushkar (with its famous Camel Fair), - Varanasi (the "Spiritual Capital of India"), - Rishikesh & Amritsar.

Vishnu was everything we had wanted in a guide for our first time to India - and much, much more. His English is superb and he keeps every moment of the tour lively with a brilliant mix of good humour and professionalism: he often had us in hysterics! His knowledge of Delhi and beyond is really extraordinary, and his flexibility when we would suddenly change the plan was exceptional. Vishnu is a thoroughly good person who you will know you can trust from the moment you meet him. There wasn't a hint of a suggestion to take us to shops or any places where he would get a commission and we are very grateful for that. He also organised our very safe driver, Mr Gee and both of them were so willing to accommodate whenever we would have a special request or change the plan. We loved every minute of our time with him and can't recommend him highly enough to other tourists.

Vishnu is an excellent guide! His depth of knowledge on the whole of India, not only Delhi, is amazing. He helped me understand the culture, history, and beauty of India as well as the nuances on customs and norms he was patient with all my questions and knew all the answer. I was immediately comfortable and at home the moment I met him. I am an amateur photographer and he makes a great model! Wonderful man with a beautiful heart. Definitely 6 stars if possible. Namaste, Vishnu!

Vishnu and his driver Mr. Singh are a dynamic duo. They picked us up exactly on time. It was me and my 16 year old daughter. We had 5ish hours. We did a little monument, famous building stuff but was far more valuable was going to places that were more cultural, religious, ordinary life focused. Vishnu knows the city and is passionate to share his knowledge. He’s also mindful of potential information overload and dials back when he senses it! I would 100% recommend using him. I rarely do reviews so it had to be good.

For our very first day in India we booked a trip with Vishnu and his driver. It could not be any better. Where to begin: Before the tour via chat very friendly and reactive, open and reactive, flexible, knowledgeable, … On the day itself more than on time, a modern ac car, his colleague who was a skilled, patient and friendly driver. You can ask Vishnu anything, and he will answer and give necessary conrext, without over explaining and losing himself in unnecessary details. Ideal! Also, I liked the fact that he leaves also some silence and reflection to let it all in. Content wise he knows his stuff and let’s you see the REAL things, the good and the less good. You’ll not only see the bricks and mortar but also the people in it and what they are doing. My family and I had a wonderful tour and I would book him immediately next time without any hesitation.

My dear friends were traveling to India and they asked me to find a reliable and safe tour guide for them. As I am a tour guide myself , I immediately started to search on Toursbylocals- as I know how safe and trusted this platform is . And was not disappointed- Vishnu is not just an amazing tour guide, but also amazing person. Very flexible, very attentive, safe and cheerful person, gives you all the advices , helps you to avoid tourist traps and feel as much local life as possible. Highly recommended. Thank you Vishnu for everything.
