Don’t hesitate if you need a photography fixer - I requested Yusuf’s help to visit and photograph the gypsy community around Jodhpur. He arranged, transport, accommodation and local support to make it happen as expected. He assisted with the pre-photography interviews and the actual shoots. Yusuf’s is a kind and reliable man. Don’t hesitate to contact him if you need an experienced fixer.

Andrea from Italy - I went with Yusuf for a tour, one day we did a tour of the city lifestyle of Jaipur, of the monuments, and an other day we went to see a traditional indian carpet factory and the jaipur markets. But he offers you also personalized tours to you. Each question you have he will explain you. I can absolutely recommed.

No stone left unturned - This was an amazing tour! I went into it with an open mind and no expectations, and how the day unfolded had me spellbound by the beauty and history of jaipur. Yussuf is an anthropologist so I had a wealth of knowledge guiding me through this experience. The tour started in the morning and finished in the early evening which was perfect, I feel like not one stone was left unturned and it was the perfect day for me. Thank you so much yussuf for the wonderful day!

An amazingly special time with a Kalbeliya family in Jodhpur - Yusuf organized, facilitated and guided us with a stay at a Kalbeliya family in a village of Jodhpur. My wife Urshulah is a professional tribal fusion dancer and wanted to learn Kalbeliya dancing. It was truely amazing and authentic experience to be part fo this dancing and musical commuity, even for just a few days. Yusuf is excellent at keeping a very fine balance to providing creative opportunities based on your needs, wishes or aims. These true people of the earth are stilll in our hearts and will always be!
