The whole tour was nothing short of perfect. Our guide Sam was very knowledgeable and friendly she took great care of us and showed us some hidden places inside the temple itself. Our time spent on the farm was very relaxing and a much need break during a long hot day.
Our kids loved hanging out with Sam which was something we rarely see them do when we are visiting a temple or learning history from a guide. She was funny and engaging and knew her way around the temple well. She arranged us to do some volunteering work in the kitchen which was a great bonding experience for our family. In the afternoon we explored a local farm and enjoyed some local food ending the day with a visit to the border. I would recommend this tour for families especially ones with young kids. It will be memorable day for you.
Thank you for the glowing review. We are glad you had a memorable time in our city. Recommend us to your friends and family. Cheers.
A must do tour if you are visiting Amritsar, we learned so much from Sam, She is a gifted storyteller. It never felt as if she was our tour guide it was more like exploring the city with a friend. She got us access to the backstage kitchen and showed us how everything operates. It was a very hot day so we took a short break at the hotel to catch our breath. We ended the day with a visit to the farm and having a very delicious meal made up of local dishes. Well worth your time.
Thank you for the glowing review. We are glad you had a memorable time in our city. Recommend us to your friends and family. Cheers.
The day tour was amazing, we visited the temple a day before as we had nothing else to do for the evening and then went the following day with Guri, we were blown away by how much we had missed without him. He gave us a crash course on Sikhism and answered a lot of our questions. The one thing that stood out I was the fact that he was a Sikh himself so he was able to give information which you can't get from a script you learn as a tour guide. He showed us around the kitchen and the got us access to some hidden prayer rooms. It was a hot day and he made sure we had water available to us at all times. Overall it well worth the money we spent.
Thank you for the glowing review. We are glad you had a memorable time in our city. Recommend us to your friends and family. Cheers.
We had the most pleasant and wonderful experience with our guide Mr. Ram Singh. He was extremely knowledgeable and courteous. Couldn’t have been better. We highly recommend him for tours.
Thank you for the glowing review. We are glad you had a memorable time in our city. Recommend us to your friends and family. Cheers.
An amazing day in Amritsar with our tour guide Ram Singh. He explained everything we needed to know about the Golden Temple in a clear and knowledgeable way without bombarding us with too much detail. He enabled us to visit the Temple kitchen preparation areas where we were invited to help prepare chapatis. To see how food is prepared for 100,000 free meals every day for anyone wishing to eat was truly a once in a lifetime experience. The changing of the guard at the Border was spectacular and again, Ram guided us on how to get the best view of the ceremony and avoid the crush of the crowds there. The whole day visit was well worth the money and exceeded our expectations.
Thank you for the glowing review. We are glad you had a memorable time in our city. Recommend us to your friends and family. Cheers.
