Welcome! Sat Sri Akal! Namaskar!
My name is Sumit. I am a certified Independent Tour Guide. I received my certification from India’s Ministry of Tourism after completing the basic online training modules.
I have been working in the tourism industry since 2022. Sharing my knowledge with guests is a matter of honour for me. Not everyone gets the opportunity to represent their nation and its cultural values.
I am a subject matter expert in Sikh history, India’s war history, and Punjabi culture. Being born and raised in the Punjab region of India gives me a distinct advantage in introducing my guests to Punjabi culture through authentic stories, factual history, and personal experiences. My knowledge also extends to the history and events surrounding the Partition of India, as well as India’s cultural diversity and the historical and social influences that have shaped it.
These subjects are of great interest to many of my guests. Throughout my career as a tour guide in Punjab, I’ve had the opportunity to share my knowledge with visitors from around the world. My excellent command of English allows me to communicate clearly and effectively with my international guests.
On a more personal note, my grandmother was my first guide and continues to inspire me. Her wisdom, stories, and values have shaped who I am and how I connect with others. I chose our photograph to honor her and dedicate my journey as a tour guide to her with love and gratitude.
I invite you to follow me on Instagram @theamritsardiary to get a firsthand look at the cultural experiences I share with visitors from around the world.
