I will be looking for more guided walks of this kind in future. He took us to famous shops of chikankaari and attar shops. He also knew Some of the best and underrated spots for best meals. He is extremely passionate about history and sharing his knowledge. Great job done.Written 1 December 2024

- Venture602813519850 contributionsNight Walk in the Imambara Area of LucknowThe view to the part that was shown to us was lovely. We had a good walk. However, I expected to go into more by lanes, but I think the main area itself was vast enough. Moreover, it was Bakrid, so the shops in the last lane that we went were closed. Otherwise, this was a good walk, and we had an understanding guide, who made it possible for my elderly parents also to experience the city.Written 25 June 2024

So went to my hotel and thought I would do this tour in the evening. I I am glad I did the tour. Vishal met me at the agreed meeting spot, slightly different from the Website. He was very knowledgeable and spoke good English and coped with my kiwi accent. He also adjusted the tour to meet some of my preferences. I appreciated that. It was a pleasant experience. It covered the old Lucknow markets, lanes and Muslim quarter.Written 25 February 2023

I had an amazing solo tour of Lucknow! My guide was very knowledgeable and well-connected, making sure I felt safe and taken care of throughout the day.
The tour itself was really immersive and authentic. My guide showed me not only the popular tourist places, but also hidden gems and local restaurants. I got a true taste of Lucknow's culture and history, and my guide shared interesting stories along the way.
What made the tour even better was how friendly and welcoming my guide was. They made me feel comfortable and it was like exploring the city with a good friend who cared about my experience.
I highly recommend this solo tour if you're visiting Lucknow. With a competent guide, you will make a safe and pleasant journey, discovering the culture of the city and its hidden treasures.

Vishal is a pleasant friendly young guide with good English and a keen interest in his clients. He was very flexible and coped well with a group of rather slow senior tourists. The car was new and clean with a good driver. The tour is as much or as little as you want. Communication via whatsapp was perfect. Well done Vishal.

I'm very happy with my tour of Lucknow. Rakesh has provided a very good tour of major sights in Lucknow. He came with a driver who safely took us through the busy streets of the city. I most enjoyed exploring the labirinths of Imam Bara - this was fantastic! To get the most of the tour one must be prepared to take their shoes off and walk barefoot for an extended period of time (well worth it). Ladies should also bring a headscarf. In any case, the tour appears to be fairly flexible. Overall, as a solo female traveller, I can recommend this trip to anyone who has a half day to spare in Lucknow!

My friend and I had a brilliant trip with Vishal (Guide) and Taufiq (driver). I am from the US and my friend is from India. His parents actually live in Lucknow and everyone was a bit skeptical that a tour would be worth it since they were so familiar with the area. My Indian friend had also been to most of the places that we visited. In the end, he admitted that the tour was well worth it and that he learned so many things that he didn't know even as an Indian and even as someone who knows a lot about the history of Lucknow and India.
Vishal is an extremely studied and insightful man. We also appreciated that he didn't rush us at any point. In fact, he would often tell us about an option extra at many of the sites we saw. Eg: "If you go here and take these stairs there's actually a great view" or "it's worth it if you walk around the back because you can see this one special thing".
We were also grateful that they drove so far to pick us up near our family's home and just how incredibly friendly and thorough they both were.

Rakesh was a great guide, friendly and knowledgable, who showed us the highlights of Lucknow in 4 hours. He kindly added extra stops to see things that interested us, such as the riverside. Would have been impossible to get around and appreciate Lucknow without this tour.
Highly recommended !!!

Started on time and well organised, clean comfortable car and enthusiastic and very knowledgeable guide. We were taken to Bara Imambara and given an amazing tour of the outside, inside and labyrinth- all great fun. Short ride to other sights including the Residency. No question too hard. Plenty of time and opportunity to take photos or enjoy the atmosphere. Would strongly recommend.
