I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The tour guide "Jassi" was exceptional: he truly made this a memorable experience. I had mentioned to Jassi that I enjoyed photography and he truly went out of his way to ensure I had many unique photo opportunities. This tour and Jassi truly exceeded all expections.
Great overall tour

Decided to come visit Amritsar for the day so I went with this tour to see as much as I could in that time. I did have to pay an additional charge to be picked up from the airport instead of a hotel in Amritsar but the driver was right on time and made sure to drop me back off with enough time to catch my flight back. My tour guide for the day was Sandeep (Sunny) and he was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the different parts of Amritsar and able to answer any questions I had. Getting to experience the golden temple and wagah border are two memories I can cherish for a long time now. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested
Awesome
