Very great tour Beautiful places Very friendly guide A lot of interesting Informations Very great
We originally had several temples on our itinerary, but since we already knew a few of them, we asked our guide if we could adjust the schedule a bit. It worked out completely hassle-free! Instead, we stopped for tea, which was absolutely lovely. Our driver was fantastic, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared everything with so much passion—not just about the temples, but also about life in India, the culture, and many other fascinating topics. You could ask her anything and always received detailed answers. The atmosphere was wonderful the entire time, and we never felt rushed. They really took the time for us and catered to all our wishes. Thank you so much for a great day—we would highly recommend this tour!
Well-planned tour to five different temples of very different styles. Nice and knowledgeable guide providing background and answering all questions. Especially the Sikh temple’s activities are faschinating. We went in day time; to time pujas etc, early morning would be recommendable.
