Booked both Haridwar and Rishikesh Private Walking Tours through Shivani, and the experience was excellent. Shivani was very helpful and made the booking process simple and hassle-free. Sunny was a fantastic guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history, culture, and spiritual significance of both cities. The tours were well-paced, informative, and included many interesting insights that we would have missed on our own. A great way to explore Haridwar and Rishikesh beyond the usual sightseeing. Highly recommended. Thanks to Shivani for the smooth arrangements and Sunny for making the tours memorable! 😊 Saurya
Wonderful walking tour with a knowledgeable guide. Great way to explore Rishikesh’s culture and spirituality. Totally worth it!
We had an amazing experience on the Private Walking Tour in Rishikesh. Our guide Mr. Sunny was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and well-spoken. He explained the spiritual significance, history, and local culture of Rishikesh in a very interesting way. Thankyou, Mr. Sunny, for a wonderful experience.
Very good company. Reliable and efficient. Highly recommend. We had a wonderful experience for our tour in Uttarakhand booked from sunny.
We had a lovely day with Chakshu on the ashram walking tour. He was so patient and allowed us to stop in many stores along the way. He offered insight and history into the different ashrams, purchased water and Chai for us during some stops, and his English was perfect. During the tour we discovered the Beatles ashram was closed because of updated winter hours. He was fast to recommend another temple to visit instead and we hiked up to Bhootnath Temple and had a wonderful experience. The tour concluded with an amazing Arrti Ganga experience and Chakshu stayed with us for the entire 90 minute celebration, advising us when to leave and beat the crowds. Highly recommend this tour. Thank you Chakshu!
Dinesh was an excellent guide, not only was he very knowledgeable about all the sites, he gave a lot of flexibility, patience, and attention to detail. I’m not in the best shape and he didn’t mind taking breaks for me and even got us extra water. It was a really special experience and I wouldn’t highly recommend the tour, and especially Dinesh as a guide. 🙏🏻
Sunny was a fantastic guide and felt like an instant friend. He explained things so clearly and the tour was the perfect pace. We didn’t have long in Rishikesh so this was perfect to dive straight in. Would highly recommend!
Thanks for amazing walking tour provided by them. It was really great as we have covered most of the places were in our wishlist. Guide Sunny gave us good explanation of all places he took us to. Highly recommended to peeps going Rishikesh tour.
Sunny guided us through the famous ghats, where we witnessed the mesmerizing Ganga Aarti ceremony—a truly spiritual experience. We also strolled along the iconic Laxman Jhula, enjoying beautiful views of the Ganges and surrounding hills. Sunny’s passion for Rishikesh and his friendly, approachable nature made the tour feel like a journey with a friend rather than a guide. It was an unforgettable experience, and I’d highly recommend Sunny to anyone visiting Rishikesh!
I had a walking tour with them no doubt they have the best guides for that. I have enjoyed my tour of Rishikesh we went to Ram jhula, Geeta Bhawan, Beatles ashram & ganga aarti at Parmarth niketan. Sunny took me all places and he's best for the tours.
