Our guide Gurinder was first class. Such an enjoyable experience with him. Loved his flexibility when we asked to stop and look at other things/shopping. The driver and mode of transport were also first class. A little disappointed that we couldn’t enter some of the buildings however that was no fault of Garinder, its just India.
