Dear Travellers, Namaste from India. Let's explore Incredible India. My name is Vivek & I'm a professional tour guide in Northern India, Approved & Licenced by the Ministry of Tourism, Govt of India. My cities of expertise are Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Ranthambore, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Amritsar & Rajasthan. I was born & brought up in a Traditional "Punjabi" family. My upbringing kept me rooted with my culture, values & traditions. Both of my parents were history teachers so growing up with them had an amazing impact on my life. My childhood memories are full of history lessons, stories of persons & places. It absolutely moulded me into the person I am today - one whose characteristics include a love for history & an obsession for travelling. You may be surprised just how much my parent's profession impacted my upbringing because I got a double dose of history from my teachers & parents. Later I moved to New Delhi, India & have been a resident in New Delhi for the past 20 years. As a passionate reader, traveller & explorer of new sites, I have travelled a lot in Northern India. With a great interest in history, culture, tradition, people & places; I focused my learning towards the same. Hence I pursued a Bachelor's Degree in Tourism Management.

Now I have 15 years of experience in Guiding, I have welcomed "Thousands" of International Tourists as my Valued Guests to my Incredible Country. Having spent a great amount of time in the traditional culture of my country, and the way my guests have enjoyed the Facts of India rooted with her history, I am always mesmerized to recall that I am a part of connecting people across countries to "My India". It's been a very proud feeling that I have been a source of sharing the history, cultural & rich diversity of my Incredible country to the Visitors. I have a very good knowledge of India & It would be a great pleasure & honour for me to serve you as your private tour guide & customize tours for you according to your interests, choice & budget. In my career, I have worked for many premier organisations connected with Tourism itself which made me confident that I am a "Travel Expert" in Northern India & the memory maker professional Tour Guide.

Excellent tour by Vivek, whose in-depth knowledge of Delhi's history and culture definitely was a highlight of my trip to India. The tour was very well-paced, with several hidden gems that only a local expert like Vivek would know about. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Raju, the driver, was also excellent, and navgated the busy streets of Delhi without any trouble. A great experience!

We had a great day with Vivek. As we had already seen a number of sites on his normal Delhi day tour, Vivek customised a tour to suit us. We thoroughly enjoyed wandering the market, learning about the history and current daily life in this vibrant part of old town. For lunch, Vivek shared with us a fantastic local dining experience that was so memorable and delicious! Vivek has a great sense of humour and is so knowledgeable. And having an air-conditioned car to shuttle us around to the various sites was just awesome too!

This is the 6th tour I've scheduled with Tours By Locals and Vivek was by far the best guide I've had. He customized the tour to specifically what we were interested in and was super flexible. His knowledge of Old Delhi was great and he made it very conversational. We did the bike rickshaw which was hilarious, ate poori and discovered an amazing jewelry store. We felt safe and well attended to. We jammed a lot of sights into the afternoon to give us a great flavor of the city. I will definitely call Vivek for our next tour
