Excellent experience

5.00We are so happy that we booked this tour - they were very accomodating of some changes we wanted to make to the itinerary, worked out perfectly. But what made it such an excellent experience was the guide, Snehal. She was an impeccable blend of knowledge, savvy, and caring and really represented everything you want in a guide. Her wisdom, philosophies and good humor were just as impressive as her knowledge. Highly recommend!
Amazing tour of the city

5.00Sukhbir was our tour guide for the day. We had some extra requests, which we let the tour operator know beforehand and he incorporated them brilliantly into the tour. We had a great personalized tour fitted to what we would best enjoy. Sukhbir was friendly and knowledgeable about the city, showing us areas, places and experiences which filled the time without being rushed. A great experience! Thank you!

5.00We had a great day exploring the cultural heritage of Pune with a wonderful guide Snehal and driver. She provided fascinating commentary & information throughout the day. The walk through the Tulsi Baug shopping market was great fun & all of the temples were fascinating. The visit to Aga Khan Palace & Ghandi exhibits really provided an historical perspective of the era. We were particularly glad that the company were able to pick us up from our hotel in Talegaon. Lunch at a Thali restaurant was a highlight.

5.00I had a visit of Aga Khan Palace at Pune. This is a historic place. Lot of freedom fighters stayed here during freedom movement. Mahatama Gandhi and Kasturba Gandhi used to stay here for long time. Kasturba Gandhi died at this place.
