An incredible spectacle! - This is an amazing event and if you are staying in Amritsar well worth a visit, even though it's a fair distance outside the city. The Indian and Pakistan troops march on their own sides of the border. I was on the Indian side and the troops really whipped the crowd up into a frenzy of flag waving and cheering! It's very noisy and colourful and lasts about 30 mins. There are special seats for foreigners and VIPs. Foreigners will need their passports.

Excellent. Highly Recommended. - We visited Attari Border with Ravish. He was very cooperative and helpful. He had done the booking in advance which saved us a lot of time. He also made sure we got good seats. Visit to Pul kanjari was also a good experience.

Great experience, destinations, tour guide - Our guide was Shamsher Singh, who was fantastic. He made the trip very easy and informative. We were collected from our hotel near the airport and returned in a timely manner. Attending the Wagah border was an amazing experience and will be a memory I do not forget! Shamsher was able to switch between English and Panjabi which was very helpful for me (who is mainly an English speaker) and my Grandmother (who is a Panjabi speaker). We were able to take many photos on the way and at the border - we had an easy time getting in. Would 100% recommend.

An Amazing Experience at the Border. - Our guide's name was Ravish. He was an excellent guide who told my wife and I about the area, about Amritsar and about the Wagah Border flag ceremony. On the way, he also gave advice on seating and what to look for. My advise is to seat as close to the front as possible and as close to the border gates as possible and to avoid the concrete pillars of the stadium. The Wagah border flag ceremony is a worthwhile experience that is not to be missed. The pomp and pageantry is fabulous!

Excellent guide and unique experience - This was a great trip. Ravish was a great guide and excellent company. He's very knowledgeable and was happy to talk about a range of things while we were driving to the border. The ceremony itself is well worth a visit, a very unique experience I would say. I'm very happy to have gone and would recommend this tour to everyone!

Trip to Amritsar - The whole tour was excellent. Ravish was our guide and he is wonderful- he ensured that my husband and I got to see as much as we could and he patiently answered all our questions. I would strongly recommend him to my friends and family.

Was waiting for us when we came out.. EXCELLENT guide.. Would recommend.. Very knowledgeable.. Thank you Ravish.

Really helpful guide - Amrik Singh is a fantastic guide! He is really helpful and knowledgeable. I truly recommend using this tour than taking taxis, because he told us very important tips of visiting the ceremony. The car was very clean too.

It is only spoken in the local language. I don't recommend it for foreigners. - Presentation spoken only in the local language. Not worth it for foreigners!
Far away , a waste of time to see a small military performance . With so much cultural and spiritual richness in Punjab, I don't advise wasting time. For Indians it has a lot of value, but only for them!
