Our guide Adi was personable and full of interesting information about local customs and traditions. He waited for us patiently and our tour was very relaxed. We highly recommend the tour.
Sadly not really worth my time and money. The fellow arrived on a scooter, and offered walking or the scooter (even though he only had one helmet). Asked me where I wanted to go.p He seemed a sweet guy, but his English was not of sufficient standard for a guide. He could recite some facts, but couldn't really understand my questions. He offered me the "government souvenir shop / medicine shop" optipns. He didn't apply pressure but still didn't feel appropriate. The whole "tour" felt a bit dodgy and unprofessional.
Guide was helpful but he was really inexperienced on what encompasses a private walking tour. He made us see multiple temples without any storytelling. There was also selling involved which is normal in India with local guides but not expected in a so called walking tour
I would not call it a walking tour as the concept goes but more like a temple and ashram itinerary. There were hardly any stories about the culture or the place or food. There was some soft peddling for the products. Interesting stories, food and photos make up for most of the best part of walking tours in India. This tour did not have any of these parts. It was more like booking a local guide at 10x the prices because you have booked it on TripAdvisor. Won't recommend if you have done walking tours elsewhere in India.
Our guide Navin Suyal provided a very interesting and thorough tour for us. He was very pleasant and well informed, we were very pleased to have done the trip. It's easy paced, and well priced. I would recommend it.
Enjoyable tour with Yashpal who was informative and good company. The views from the bridges were stunning and the ashrams were interesting.
I did the tour with Djay! He is really kind and he knows a lot! I highly recommend doing it, you will understand better the culture, the town and the mitology of hinduism. Bring water, good shoes, sunglasses, sun protector and everything you need to fight the heats and enjoy without problems. Thank you to the whole team!!
