My friend and I had an amazing day exploring Amritsar with Paramjit, he went above and beyond for us. We spent so much time learning and experiencing the Golden Temple and other areas of Amritsar. Paramjit had so much patience with us also wanting to do a little shopping and taking us to a beautiful local restaurant for lunch.
Thanks a lot for your valuable feedback.
Had a great experience with Paramjit from Viamos India. We used him for tours in Amritsar as well for transfers in and out of the city. From initial contact, the communication was excellent in helping us make plans. Whilst we were in Amritsar he took good care of us. He was an excellent guide and all of the drivers and cars he arranged for us were of a high standard. Highly recommend his services.
Thanks a lot for your valuable feedback.
It was an excellent tour. Our guide was Mr Paramjit Vivamos and he had made all arrangements well. He was very knowledgeable, confident and friendly. We enjoyed golden temple, waga boarder, and so many other important places. Night illumination of golden temple was memorable. I recommend this company and our guide Paramjit to all if you want to visit Amritsar
Thanks for your valuable feedback!!
We had an excellent and enjoyable time with Paramjeet in Amritsar. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and my kids really enjoyed his company. He also was very informative and we learnt a lot about the area. Highly recommend him as a guide.
Thanks a lot for your valuable feedback.
I am a solo traveler who loves culture, history and local food. My visit to Amritsar and Dharamshala was hosted by Paramjit. It didn’t take half a day for us to become friends, he understood my style of traveling and delivered! He became my partner in crime at every activity. He shared all his knowledge about his hometown with pride, I learned a lot from him. We went on never ending adventures and food discoveries. His patience and kindness including professionalism is unmatchable. I felt confident exploring new places with him even in the less known authentic, local part of town, it felt like having a local expert by my side with so much insight of the cities If you don’t want a typical guide who only follow company policy to the T I suggest you request Paramjit for your next tour. He will tailor your time depending on your choices and add on hidden gems you will probably never find on your own without a local expert Thank you Paramjit for the amazing time and all the fun and I am thankful for all the memories created!
Thanks for your valuable feedback
Very good guided tour. The golden temple during the day looks great, although on the night we returned alone the family, we found it better. The Wagah border show with Pakistan was very good, we were given good seats because we arrived early. Thank you to Mr. Chand and Mr. Param for their help. We had a great time! 1000% recommended
Mil gracias Señor Patricio
Param Singh was one of the Top-rated Guides we have ever had on our stay in India. A good, resolute, friendly person, speaks very good Spanish and a good photographer who taught us much about Amritsar and the religion of Sikhism. Fully recommended.
Mil gracias Kehly!!
Param took us to several places during our stay in Amritsar. Wherever we went Param explained in detail the history behind everything which gave us an amazing insight into the history and culture. It enhanced our experience 100%. Visited Jallianwala Baghdad- this is the memorial gardens and monument dedicated to the those who lost their lives in the massacre in 1919 by the British. A beautiful tribute. Next we visited the Golden Temple. With the history and rules explained to us before hand, we walked through this stunning temple. We helped to make chapatis in the Eating Hall. An eye opener to see the 10’s of thousands of people fed each day. Made a trip to the Wagah Border to see the changing of the guards on the Indian/Pakistan border. This experience is mind-blowing and must not be missed. Param was an exceptional Guide and we owe our amazing trip to Amritsar to him.
Our tour of golden temple,wagah border was amazing! Kitchens are a must and Param was a brilliant guide .wouldn’t hesitate in using him again!! Very informative
Thanks a lot for your valuable feedback.
Wow what a beautiful place to visit. We queued to go in for about an hour and a half, but this was so worth the wait. It was so fantastic inside & a priviledge to hear the morning prayers. The gardens are kept so lovely, a must visit place.
