Pleasant Experience - City tour experience in Amritsar served by guide Amrik Singh. The guide explores the uniqueness of the Golden Temple, especially in serving food to pilgrims. In the afternoon before seeing the ceremony at Wagah Border, we had the unique experience of seeing the India Pakistan Railway Station at Attari border..

Insightful experience - The trip to Golden Temple, Jalianwala Bagh, Partition Museum was very insightful. Ravish guided throughout the tour and is very knowledgeable and the information is an eye opener, thanks. In the afternoon I was taken to the Attari border and in the way had a quick round of the Attari railway station as we had some time before the border ceremony. I highly recommend booking the tour if anyone is visiting Amrtisar in the future.

Historical and Cultural experience - Our tour guide Rishi did an amazing job of explaining the culture and the inner workings of the golden temple by taking us behind the scenes to the Langar hall. He also took great care in the oppressive heat to make sure we were sheltered and hydrated and took us to cool places to cool down. The history and cultural aspects were well explained. It was a moving experience and a very humbling experience to see how so many volunteers come forward and run all aspects of the temple and show their respect to their faith and Guru. Very impressed by Sikhism and its teachings. Loved the tour. Will highly recommend it.

Great visit with insights in the Sikh and Amritsar culture - I had a very good time with Amrik who showed me the beautiful city of Amritsar, but also spent time explaining me details of the Sikh culture and local tradition. I have also managed to shortly volunteer at the Golden temple, making the experience more than a tourist visit. Also very much appreciated the fact that there was no side visits to shops or other activities not connected to the tour. And Ravish also gave good explanations during our visit to the Wagah border, another must-see od your visit in Amritsar. Thank you both for the good time

Recommend to anyone traveling to Amritsar - Ravish is the best guide you can get in Amritsar, he explained a lot about local life. Big plus: you will not be made to visit local shops as it is the case with other tour operators. With this tour you get to explore most of Amritsar in just one day.
