Brilliant journey of a walking tour looking back on Amritsar's history
I really enjoyed the narrative and the skill with which the guide moved the walking tour from place to place, taking me back in time many times, getting me to look up and down, and to see things and ideas I couldn't have seen without him. Many thanks! Tom

Excellent & informative tour
Our guide was knowledgeable, professional, enthusiastic and friendly. Took us down alleys we wouldn't have gone down. Had jalebi & chai tea. Tour ended up at an ashram, which was unexpected but definitely a worthwhile experience.

A must do in Amritsar
Fantastic tour. We can honestly say that this was the best tour we’ve done in India. I’m saying honestly because this was also the only tour (so far) where we weren’t pressured to write a quick 5 star review before the end of the tour. Prarit was lovely. So warm and friendly and informative and really took time to hang with us and tell us all about the city. The itinerary was perfect and he helped us out with some great recommendations of places to eat. The stop for jalebis was incredible. We unfortunately had only a short time in Amritsar but meeting Prarit and going on this tour was a highlight.

A tour worth taking
Prarit was our guide, he’s knowledgeable & enthusiastic about Amritsar. We had an in-depth briefing about some of the key moments & figures in the development of the city & its architecture. The visit to the ashram was particularly of interest. This is a group tour not a private tour.
