The daily highlight is the evening “Beating the Retreat” ceremony. Soldiers from both countries march in perfect drill, going through the steps of bringing down their respective national flags.

Guide was punctual and very knowledgeable,this made my visit very easy and enjoyable. Border ceremony was awesome
This was literally just a taxi service to the border and back. My guide told me absolutely nothing about the ceremony we just drove in silence the entire time - I may as well have booked an uber for 1/4 of the price. The ceremony itself was great but this was not worth the money at all.
Arden's review is a blatant lie. When her guide picked her up from the hotel she had a Go Pro with her, they started a conversation and she started recording him without his permission. When her guide noticed that she was recording his conversations secretly apparently for her YouTube channel as a vlogger he told her to STOP. But she won't listen mentioning that she was a vlogger and she records all the time for content. It got to the point where her guide literally had to stop talking because she won't stop recording him. This review is a very low blow to a local business who goes out of his way to serve its guests. we are now considering putting a disclaimer in the product page, that you are not allowed to record people when they clearly tell you not to do it.
"Vibrant and Patriotic" "The Wagah Border ceremony was vibrant and patriotic. The soldiers' synchronized movements and the crowd's enthusiastic cheers created an electrifying atmosphere. The event was well-coordinated, though the seating could be better. Arriving early is essential."
Amrit was a really great guide. He shared an interesting perspective on the Wagah Border ceremony and did a great job providing some insight into the politics of Punjab, India and Pakistan.
Ripp off price, dishonest. Promised in what's app for a premium seat but got dumped by driver. Driver Amrit doesn't know customer service, Please don't book with these fellows.
Amrit was a great host and driver. He helped me get through the crowds and provided tips for getting out of the stadium quickly after the show was done. I enjoyed his knowledge about Indian history and he was able to answer all my questions. The show itself was a real spectacle, just bring enough layers to keep warm in the winter

Amritpal had already taken us on a tour of the Golden Temple and we thought it would be good to experience wagah boarder - as it’s in a key area. He made us aware of what we should and shouldn’t take, and made sure we were looked after from the start to the end of this experience. He arranged to pick us up and along the way he showed us other key forgotten areas of punjab like Pul Kanjri which is a historical site. Booking with Amritpal made it easy for us to see wagah boarder as there is a lot of security. We would recommend going with someone who is familiar with the whole process and system to make the whole experience nicer to see.
Great experience was guided with loads of information from history to cultural significance. Got to see the full ceremony which was incredible from start to finish. My guide was not only well versed in everything relating to this but gave me loads of history regarding Amritsar along with being a genuine and nice person. Would highly recommend this tour.
It was an excellent trip with Amrit who brought me right up to the ceremony area, the furthest a local could go. Gave me instructions for anything i needed and was very informative on not only the border but the history of Amritsar as well. He then invited me on a food tour which i accepted and it was amazing as well. Would highly recommend this trip.
