About Your Guide

Riyaz Khan

Government Approved Tour Guide & Private India Tour Specialist, based in Agra.

Riyaz has spent more than fifteen years walking the same stones — the charbagh gardens of the Taj Mahal, the sandstone ramparts of Agra Fort, the lanes of Old Delhi — and still treats each visit as if it were the first time he's seen them, because for every traveller in front of him, it is.

He trained and holds his guiding license under India's official tourist-guide framework, which means every tour is led personally or by a guide from his closely vetted network, never handed off to an uncredentialed freelancer at the gate. His focus is North India: Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur, Ranthambore, Jodhpur, Varanasi, Pushkar, Fatehpur Sikri and Abhaneri.

What travellers mention most often isn't a single monument fact — it's the pacing. Riyaz reads a group early: how fast they walk, whether they want the full Mughal succession history or just enough context to appreciate what they're looking at, when to stop talking and let the building do the work.
