Meet Your Guide — Devendra (Dave) Namaste and Welcome to India! Hello, dear travelers! I’m Devendra (Dave), a government-certified tour guide based in Delhi, specializing in Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and Rajasthan. I have spent several years welcoming travelers from around the world and helping them discover India beyond the usual tourist experience. For me, guiding is not just about visiting monuments — it is about understanding the history, architecture, culture, food, traditions, and everyday life that make India unique. I specialize in private tours, heritage walks, cultural experiences, food tours, photography, and customized multi-city journeys, including the Golden Triangle and Rajasthan. #Why Travel With Me? I understand that planning travel across India can sometimes feel overwhelming. I can help make your journey easier by coordinating: * Customized itineraries based on your interests and preferred pace * Private, chauffeur-driven transportation * Airport and hotel pick-up and drop-off * Multi-city journeys between Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and Rajasthan * Hotel and travel recommendations * Local food, markets, culture and hidden gems Whether you are passionate about history and architecture, interested in Indian food and markets, looking for great photography opportunities, or simply want to experience everyday life in India, I will tailor the experience around you. #LGBTQ+ & Transgender Friendly I warmly welcome LGBTQ+ and transgender travelers. Everyone deserves to experience India with respect, privacy, comfort, and without judgment. I provide a friendly and professional environment and am happy to discuss any concerns about local customs, privacy, accommodation, transportation, or cultural sensitivities before your trip. # My Expertise Delhi • Old Delhi • Agra • Jaipur • Rajasthan • Golden Triangle I have strong knowledge of **Indian history, Mughal and Hindu architecture, local traditions, heritage, markets, and culture**. #My Qualifications * Government-certified Tour Guide — Ministry of Tourism, Government of India * IITTM Certified — Indian Institute of Tourism & Travel Management * History graduate / History specialist * Emergency First Aid Trained * Experienced in hosting international travelers #A Note About Transportation For tours requiring transportation, I arrange a **professional chauffeur-driven private vehicle**. This allows me to focus completely on guiding, explaining the destinations, and looking after your experience rather than driving. For longer journeys, I coordinate with trusted local partners to help maintain a smooth and reliable experience throughout your trip. #My Philosophy I believe the best travel experiences are personal. You should not feel like you are simply following a fixed schedule. Your interests, your pace, and your curiosity should shape the journey. My goal is to make your time in India comfortable, authentic, informative, and memorable. Come as a traveler, leave as a friend. I look forward to welcoming you to India and sharing my country with you! Warm regards, Devendra (Dave)
