It is with great pleasure that I introduce myself to you. I was born in Agra and have been in the travel business for over 30 years. I earned my masters in English and History from the University of Agra with specialization in Indian medieval history in particular the Mughal period – the time when most of North India’s grand buildings were constructed, including the Taj Mahal. Besides guiding and leading groups from USA, Canada, UK & Australia for the last so many years, Sanjay has also led tours for Smithsonian & Metropolitan Museums and Alumni Tours for prestigious university group tours viz : UCLA, U C Berkeley, USC, Columbia & Georgetown University, BYU and Texas University.
Besides English, Sanjay speaks three other Indian languages which gives me an insight getting my groups through all parts of the Indian sub-continent. His love and passion for my homeland is evidenced in his method of Tour Directing. Most of his past travelers have journeyed back to India after their first adventure with him. That is certainly a testament to the way he works, A stickler for perfection and always insisting on the best. My experience in the travel industry gets richer each passing year. Learning is an adventure for me as well as meeting people from all over the world, and, to show them the beauty of my country is a gift I am so proud of.
Once again, the richness of India is all encompassing and I love sharing it with as many people as I can, each passing year. I would love to have the opportunity for having you fall in love with India and her peoples. Travelers always get a new and brighter insight into India on my tours. My tours are not the average India tours – I give my heart and soul to each and every traveler and make sure they see India from my eyes and then they recreate it in their own eyes, and this always garners new travelers from their individual experiences. This is what tour directing is all about.
Anyone can take a group of travelers on a day-by-day tour itinerary, tour directors can do it with their eyes closed. However, I deliver my insight with every traveler that I get in touch. I show them India the way it needs to be shown, and I don’t think a traveler of mine ever misses the keen insight into my country. I hope that I will be able to entertain more and more people to my wonderful country so they in turn can take their experiences back to their homeland and share the newfound love of a wonderful country, India.
Best Wishes & Warm Regards
