Old Delhi Uncovered: Heritage, Food, Markets & Local Life

Namaste, Dear Travellers! Namaste is more than a greeting to me - it means “I respect and bow to the divine spirit within you.” My name is Atiq, born and raised in Agra, India. I am a curious person with a keen interest in history, architecture, culture and people. I started my career in the tourism industry in 2007 and became a professional tour guide in 2010. Since then, I have discovered how much I enjoy meeting people from around the world and sharing the fascinating history and stories of the city I call home. Agra is a city with so much to discover and share. From the magnificent Taj Mahal and historic Agra Fort to the colourful streets, local markets and culinary traditions, I love introducing visitors to both its famous landmarks and everyday life. With a Master's degree in Medieval Indian History, I enjoy bringing the Mughal era to life through interesting stories and historical insights. Over the years, I have welcomed travellers with different interests and expectations. I am friendly, flexible and attentive, and I believe every tour should be a personal experience. Whether it is your first visit or a return journey, I can tailor your tour to your interests and pace. I am also happy to help with photography and share local tips to make your stay enjoyable. Having guided travellers for many years, I am still excited to meet every new guest and share the beauty of India. Seeing you leave with a smile and wonderful memories is my greatest reward. I look forward to welcoming you to Agra!
