During the mid 18th century, with the Mughals at Delhi in decline, Lucknow gained prominence as the brightest star on the Indian cultural firmament – its rise fueled by the immense wealth of the Avadh and the matching extravagance of its Nawabs! This walk takes you through some of Old Lucknow’s most stupendous buildings, reveling in the stories of their makers. A short Tonga ride (horse-drawn carriage) will take you into the heart of this epicenter of culture. We explore across its bustling medieval markets, tasting sumptuous delicacies of its refined cuisine and interact with the carriers of the city’s suave mannerisms, whose friendly vibes will make you fall in love with this romantic city.

We had just completed the most amazing Varanasi tour with Roobaroo and decided to avail their services in Lucknow too! We had taken ‘ The Lucknow Residency Tour’ and Sameer was our guide. Samir was just amazing, he has fantastic knowledge about the history of Lucknow. His commentary brought the ruins of The Residency to life..... he made those three hours at the Residency memorable for us! If we had more time we would have certainly taken the other tours with him! We highly recommend Roobaroo for anyone visiting Lucknow!

6. Wajid Ali Shah Walk through Kaiserbagh

U.P. Press Club, Lucknow, China Bazar Gate Wala Kwadar Road Kaisarbagh Lucknow –, DM Compound Colony, Kaiserbagh Officer's Colony, Qaisar Bagh, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh 226001, India Tornos

Kaiserbagh Palace indeed did not have any parallel anywhere in the world. Kaiserbagh Palace Complex was in fact the most well planned works of grandeur by Wajid-Ali-Shah, the last ruler of Awadh, who himself was a great connoisseur of art in all its forms and the same innate personality reflected in his palace. Kaiserbagh later became a victim of British revenge, after the failed uprising in 1858, when the British recaptured sieged Lucknow and the ruler Wajid-Ali-Shah was deposed to Calcutta. As a consequence and revenge of the toughest time that the British forces had here, Kaiserbagh was unmindfully demolished. Today sadly, only a few structures remain to be seen and it is indeed very hard to imagine that once it was, the world’s most beautiful palace complex. On this walking tour we explore the Kaiserbagh Palace Complex, reconstruct the area with the help of old pictures and maps and as a cherry on the cake, we treat you over a cup of tea  

Inclusions: All taxes, fees and handling charges, Bottled water, Light refreshments, Headsets to hear the guide clearly, Professional art historian guide, Coffee and/or Tea

Exclusions: Hotel pickup and drop-off. This can be arranged at an extra cost., DVD (available to purchase)
