Our experience traveling in India exceeding anything we could have imagined, in large part because of our guide and friend for life, Virenda. The catalog of knowledge about India this charming and funny fellow possesses is seemingly limitless. Be it historical, geographical, or gastronomical. It's hard to overstate the qualities of this fine man. His English is outstanding. His timing on every detail is perfect. His trustworthiness is impeccable. I had zero concern sitting in the car with our driver whilst my wife and Virenda went off in every corner of any city in search of an ATM or some article of clothing or what have you. They always returned whole, mission accomplished. If there was any need for an entry fee or a tip for someone on the street, Virenda would reach into his wallet without hesitation to pay it. Every single thing we were promised regarding services covered with the tour fee was delivered as such, with no negative surprises. My wife and Virenda made daily an accounting of extra expenses, and he was always correct to the Rupie! We entrusted everything to his honor and expertise on our first visit to India, and Virenda delivered. Our journey began with Virenda and our driver Paji meeting us at the airport after customs. We immediately toured New Delhi and some famous sites. The next morning Virenda and Paji picked us up at our hotel, on time, and brought us to Old Delhi, not to be missed! Our 12 day tour brought us to Jaipur, Ranthambore for two successful safaris, the lost city, a large bird sanctuary, Agra for sunset and sunrise visits to Taj Mahal, and back to Delhi. Virenda also arranged for two guides for us when we visited the Kama Sutra Temples and the spectacular Golden Temple in Amritsar. Again, we got much more than expected and much of our joy came from being in the presence of this beautiful human being, Virenda! As a side note, I booked most of our hotels on an app, but Virenda booked some for us when needed and we were always satisfied with the results. Golden Temple perfection
Virendra led us through the bustling streets of Old Delhi from specialty to specialty. Sweet, salty, spicy, drinks and food, there was a bit of everything at various stalls, some of which were over 200 years old, and everything was without exception delicious. Therefore highly recommended! Virendra is very friendly, humorous and willingly answered many questions. Gladly again!Great tasting of authentic Indian cuisine
We had a great day in Delhi with Virendra. He is a absolute friendly and well informed guide and never got tired answering our questions while showing us the highlights of the City. Together with the driver a great team and highly recomendable. Many thanksGreat Day in Delhi
Virendra is a fantastic guide and ambassador for India! I highly recommend a booking with him if you want to see everything through the eyes of a local who is knowledgeable, professional, kind, efficient, funny, and interested in what you want to see and how. Via a mix of car and driver and walking, he showed us all the important sites and also the hidden gems of Old, New and East Delhi. He’s a real pro and was so much fun to spend the day with. We feel like we have a new friend!!!Delhi City Tour
On very short notice, Virendra was able to pull together a bespoke day visit experience for our history- and culturally-interested group of 3.
His explanations of historical sites and monuments were thorough and fact-based, and he was able to adjust our itinerary and timings as the day unfolded, making for an efficient day.
Pour des francophones: Virendra parle assez bien le français, qui est un atout, et assez rare en Inde. Responsive, knowledgeable, flexible
Virendra was a great tour guide through out Old Delhi-he has knowledge of the area that feels quite reassuring to a first time traveler to India. It was great to visit some of the food stalls, with confidence that it would not be unsanitary. It was a great day and we felt we had great personal attention and was able to answer our questions. Highly recommend Such a great guy!
We had no expectations except maybe a large city when we started out with Virendra. I must say he and our driver made our visit a real pleasure.
From Agra but of Delhi now, Virendra really knows his city and helped us learn of both Old and New Delhi, with laughter, good anecdotes and knowledge of the many nook and crannies of the city.
We highly recommend working with him for any future trips you may have need for a great guide!Exploration in Delhi
Virendra ist ein hauptberuflicher Tourguide mit viel Erfahrung. Das merkt man, es gibt keine Ecke Indiens, in der er noch nicht war. Wir haben es nicht geschafft, ihm eine Frage zu stellen, die er nicht mit viel Spaß und Hintergrundwissen beantworten konnte.
So war die Tagestour von Delhi zum Taj Mahal kurzweilig und sehr informativ. Wir baten Virendra auch, alle Souvenirshops und dergleichen wegzulassen, da wir davon schon genug hatten. Daran hat er sich auch gehalten, was wir ihm hoch anrechnen.
Aus der Fahrer war super und sehr professionell. Alles in allem unbedingt zu empfehlen!
Pro Tip: macht nicht die Sonnenaufgang-Tour, vor allem nicht aus Delhi. Das machen alle, daher ist es da extrem voll. Und man muss nachts um 3 in Dehli los. Wir sind um 6 los, und als wir um 10 da waren, waren die Sonnenaufgangs-Touris alle schon wieder weg. Wir haben an keiner Stelle auch nur eine Minute warten müssen. Und das Licht war trotzdem toll ;-)Super!
I booked a 3 day tour with Virendra for my parents and this is their review after the perfect experience they had in Delhi/New-Delhi.
Virendra has amazing knowledge about the history and mixture of religion in the city and can explain it really well in English AND French. He is very friendly and will adapt to your every wishes. On top of showing you the public transport in Delhi, Virendra also works with a very good driver for the sights that are a little further away. In general, Virendra makes the experience feel special and unique, and not like a tourist trap forcing you to spend money left and right.
Overall, my parents can only recommend Virendra as a guide for Delhi/New-Delhi but also other cities in Northern India.
I got to chat with Virendra online to organise the tour beforehand and it was very pleasant. He answered every question I had super fast and in a friendly matter. I want to thank him again for making my parents' trip unforgettable. Amazing Delhi Experience
We were very fortunate to have Virendrak as our guide. We have limited time with specific sights and experiences in mind for Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. Virendrak was able to help us come up with the itinerary to accommodate our wishes. He has great communication skills which helped us with our pre-trip planning. Virendrak did not disappoint in person. He was personable and professional. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. There were many suggestions he gave which are so valuable because we would have never thought about it on our own. Highly recommend Virendrak to make your trip special.Great multi-city experience with Virendrak
