Hi! My name is Rahul, I live in Delhi. And I have been to all the 28 states of India 🇮🇳 Besides being a tour guide, I am a Civil Engineer here, a local in every way. I am passionate about visiting new places and immersing myself in different cultures. I want to give people the experience why I love traveling so much. I enjoy telling stories and that is one reason I adore Delhi. This city has a long history, and with that comes many stories to tell. Let me be the voice of these ancient walls to tell you what they would say if they could talk.
