Shamin was the best most nicest and full of knowledge tour guide I have ever been with.
Our evening tour in Delhi with Shamin was very well organized. Shamin is a competent, friendly, and likable guide. He knows his way around well and explains everything very well. Absolute recommendation!!
We had a very informative day in Delhi with Shamin’s tour. He is a very knowledgeable person and accommodated our wishes. He took us to a very nice restaurant at the end of the tour. Fully recommend his tour!
My experience was fantastic for many reasons: of course my expectations were aligned with the tour, but my guide made the immersion go far beyond what I expected. It was lighthearted, fun, and above all enriching. Jama Masjid, Old Delhi Market, street food, Agrasen Ki Baoli — unique moments and unforgettable sights. Ten out of ten
If you’re planning a trip to India and want more than just a surface-level experience, ask for Shamin. Hands down, he is one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. What sets Shamin apart is his outstanding education and deep knowledge of every single site we visited. He didn’t just recite dates and names, he explained the cultural, architectural, and spiritual context behind everything. He answered every question with patience and detail, often sharing stories and historical insights that you won’t find in any guidebook. Shamin is articulate, professional, and clearly passionate about India’s heritage. His English is excellent, and he knows how to pace the tour so you never feel rushed or overwhelmed. I highly recommend Shamin without any hesitation. Also, make sure to book through his travel agency their organization, punctuality, and customer service are top-notch. Transportation was comfortable, itineraries were well-planned, and the entire experience felt seamless. Ask for Shamin and his agency. You’ll leave India not just with photos, but with real understanding and lasting memories.

Our guide Shamin is very helpful. We have wonderful experience with our journey.
Hi Shamin Thank you again for being our guide. Your passion and love of what you do shows in the dedication of finding a quiet place to explain in detail the history of each site before entering and then letting us take our time to take in the beauty of each building without feeling rushed. We were hesitant booking this tour but it exceeded our expectations thanks to u as our guide. India has so much history and having a guide with excellent English and deep of knowledge is a must We highky recommend Shamin as a tour guide. Joanne and Graham.
Had a great day in New Delhi today ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Enjoyed and learned a lot from Shamin (my guide) about Qutub Minar, Humayon’s Tomb, India Gate, Agrasen ki baoli, Pasar Chandni Chowk, Spice Market and Delhi Haat Fir. Shamin also did a lot of pictures which I’ll truly treasure in this unforgettable travel 😎😎😎 As a solo traveller, it was so easy to go around having this tour booked. Itinerary is flexible - i prepared what i want but also they suggested other area should I considered. Felt secured with both my guide and drivers along the entire activity. 🙏🙏🙏
An amazing trip with some beautiful scenery and places of interest. Shamin our tour guide was brilliant and couldn't do enough for us. His knowledge was second to none. Thank you Shamin. The tuktuk ride was white knuckle but well worth it.
