Great tour and kind staff!
The tour was brilliantly arranged. The driver Pankaj and the guide Pankaj took us to the Swaminarayan Akshardham on a AC vehicle. They showed us many interesting spots along the way. The visit to the temple was awesome and very interesting. The guide gave us plenty of details and allowed us to dedicate time at our own pace. Unfortunately we could not take pictures because visitors are not allowed to bring cameras, phones and other electronics inside the temple. They finally took us also to a local handicrafts shop. Absolutely recommended!!

I wish I could relive this experience
It begins with knowledgeable driver, Pankaj and guide, Prakash - both fantastic, very good English, highly professional and really good company. I rate this highly for the experience even though there are 2 downsides 1) strict guidelines prohibit any phones or cameras which is ok in itself as there was an A4, 35 page book with photos to capture this - a must buy for a very modest amount. 2) the light and water show was stunning telling a story which I couldn’t understand. Prakash did explain the story well but this story could be captured in the booklet along with water show photos. Still sticking to my 5* review.

A day in Delhi
Prakash guide was super good. It was a hot day in Delhi and he made sure I got lot of water. He had a great deal of knowledge and shared it really well. He accompanied me to all the sites, but gave me some time alone to enjoy the sites at my own pace. Nice guy great guide.

Most beautiful hindu temple on earth
Gurvinder was an excellent guide. The temple is incredible and amazing. I also had dinner at the food court. There is another temple in New Jersey that I go to regularly, but this one was more intricate and beautiful. I must see in Delhi. Laxman was also in communication the whole time and made me feel comfortable and cared for.

Swaminarayan Akshardam tour
The trip to Swaminarayan Akshardham was excellent. The architecture was absolutely stunning and the sacred/spiritual ambience was pervasive everywhere. Words can’t describe how beautiful this temple is. Our guide Pankaj was very knowledgeable about the temple and Hindu spirituality and was so accommodating to our every need. He met us promptly at the designated pickup time and helped us in our departure at the train station. I should mention the tour car driver Pankaj was also very helpful and accommodating. I would highly recommend. This was a great experience with a great tour guide.
