CXELLENT Great value for money
We had a fantastic tour in Amritsar. The Golden Temple surpassed all our expectations - such a relaxing place to walk around with a lovely atmosphere. It was great to be able to see the kitchens and how this is a real working temple. The lunch at the local Kulcha Land cafe was excellent and one of my best meals in India! The Wagah Border ceremony was brilliant a must see if you come to this area. I would like to thank our guide, Gaurav, who was so informative and professional. He really provided us with an interesting and local insight into the city and India as a whole. I would highly recommend this tour.
I had an awesome time in Amritsar. I had to do it very quickly since it was a day trip for me. Nevertheless it all worked out as per the itinerary. Brilliant tour guide as well!
Amritsar is a great place to visit for anybody who is looking for a weekend getaway and would like to experience various aspects of Indian culture 1 religion - The Golden Temple, 2 history - Jallianwala Bagh, and 3 military at the Wagah Border. This tour was perfect and I would like to thank Anil for his hospitality and ability to get us everywhere we needed to go without any hassle.
