First heritage tour after covid - Lovely experience! Super friendly host and they made us have amazing food along with the tour. We went to hidden gems of the city, which would have been hard to access on our own.

Rememberinf Heritage - Last year, we had visited this historical and religious city of Amritsar.
The new developed Heritage walking street, must be visited by every visitors. All heritage and religious sites are connected with one street. Best place for one day walk and full of eating places and shopping.

Great introduction to Amritsar - I booked 5 Trips online. This was an easy process with good confirmation. The starting point of the Partition museum is less than ten minutes walk from the Golden Temple. Sam our guide was guide and he told us about the culture and heritage of the city. This included some hidden gems which we would not have found ourselves. This tour took us through side streets with a couple of food stops which was great. A great introduction and a great guide

Heritage Walk with Sam - I booked the heritage walk a week before our trip to Asr. The booking was done on their website along with payment and we got the tickets instantly on our email. My family was very happy with the tour (7am) and everything was smooth. They've done their history research well and it was never felt boring during the 2 hours. We enjoyed eating jalebi & poori chhole and walking around the narrow streets. Samsoon was very caring and took great care of our family. My colleagues will be joining them next month and I wish them great success.

City on pedals- morning tour - City on pedals has been a beautiful jewel found on trip adviser. Not too many people know the walking tours which they offered to us at 4 am. We had to meet our guide outside of Harmandir saheb in the pristine hours of morning. We had a complete tour of 2.5 hours which took us from interiors of Harmandir saheb, the book ceremony, kitchen and ending it with warm tea! It was a mesmerizing experience with variety of stories of past and present times. The most fascinating place was kitchen. It was worth every minute! Must do!

Early morning walking tour - The star attraction of Amrtsar is always Golden temple but not too many people know that city on pedals offer a 4 am morning walk and 7 pm evening walk which includes the book ceremony, interior of Golden temple kitchen and the entire very interesting history and stories of Golden temple in all these years!!
I had taken morning 4 am walking tour lasting about 2 to 2.5 hours. Loved the story telling method of information and
Loved every minute of it!!

very disappointing - Our guide was clearly knowledgeable, but seemed bored by the process! There was no 'traditional breakfast stop', and only one stop to taste a sweet streetfood. The tour lasted barely an hour and a half, and came to an end NOT where we had started, so we had to find our own way back to where we had agreed to be collected by a taxi
