Our guides
The guide is the whole tour.
A fort is a fort until someone tells you who built it, who lost it and why the walls bend where they do. That someone is the reason to book a private day, so we are careful about who it is.
What every guide has
Four things you can check
- 01
A government licence
Every guide holds a Government of India regional guide licence for the area they work in. That is an examined qualification, not a badge.
- 02
Your language
Guides who speak English, French, Italian, Spanish or German, matched to your party rather than to whoever happens to be free.
- 03
Private, always
Your guide works for your party alone that day. We do not join bookings together to fill a car.
- 04
No commission stops
Nobody is paid to steer your afternoon into a carpet shop. If you want a workshop, ask and we will take you.
How we choose
Matched to your party, not to a rota
- When you book
Jahid reads your booking and your notes himself: who is travelling, the language you want, what you would rather skip.
- Choosing
He picks the guide and driver for your party himself, based on the day you have booked and the language you asked for.
- The evening before
You get your guide’s name, your driver’s name and his phone number, and the exact pickup time.
Why there are no portraits here
You will meet a real person, not a stock photo
Many tour sites show smiling faces that have never guided anyone. We would rather show you nothing than show you someone who will not be there. Profiles of the guides, with their own photographs, will be added here. Either way, you get your own guide’s name the evening before.
