Outstanding! A Great Day in Amritsar - My college-age son and I are exploring India during his spring break. Tour was fantastic, guide was wholly professional. Golden Temple, Jaillianwala Bagh, and Partition Museum was part one -- then lunch and to hotel for break -- part two was Wagah Attari border crossing flag lowering ceremony. I am very glad I went.

Outstanding! I'm Glad We Went - Outstanding! Rishi, our guide, met us (me and my college-age son) at our hotel -- Golden Temple first, including walking through the food preparation and dining areas. Then, walk to Jaillianwala Bagh massacre site. Finally, for part one, to Partition Museum. Rishi engaged and answered questions. Wholly professional. Part two was after a lunch and nap break -- drive with Rishi to Wagah/Attari border crossing flag-lowering ceremony. I have seen YouTube videos, but wow, the real thing is an experience not to be missed. I'm glad we went.

Best of Amritsar at Best! - We had a private tour with our Amritsar Guide, Rishi. The tour bookings, coordination, and planning was nicely done. We had all the information a day before through the App and Email about our Guide, Vehicle, Tour Expectations. Our tour guide Rishi was a local and helped us learn many things about the places we visited, it’s history, cultural aspects, and tips to enjoy and make our experience memorable. Rishi was courteous, polite, friendly, and mingled with our pace very well. We enjoyed our day visiting Golden Temple, Community Kitchen, Jallianwala Bagh, Partition Museum, Lunch at Kulcha Land (one of the best local food experience Rishi suggested), Attari Railway Station, Wagah Border Flag Down Ceremony, and Pul Kanji Sarovar. Thank you for this wonderful day of exploring Amritsar.

Great time in Amritsar - We had a nice time with Globe Trek Tours in Amritsar. Our guide, Shamsher was very friendly and personable. He helped organize our transportation and explained the sights each place. We even got to help volunteer in the Langar in the Golden Temple, which was a special experience. The Wagah Border ceremony was fascinating, as well. Highly recommend!

Great Tour - If you are planning for an Amritsar tour, look no further, just book your tour with them. We had the best experience, thanks to Ravish (our tour guide). We got the best car (clean and comfortable) and the best possible man to guide us (Ravish). It was just perfect. Thoroughly impressed and happy.

Great Tour - We had booked this tour through Viator and it was the best thing we did. Ravish (our guide) ensured we had the best experience, he of course explained the history behind the places we visited, he took great care of us taking us to the best restaurants, shops and for the first time we all wore a pagdi, the way he guided us through and through was just amazing. We a family of four (including a 6yr old) completely enjoyed the tour. If you are planning for a tour in Amritsar, don’t look further just book them.

Cultural Highlight - Had a really fantastic tour with Ravish - a knowledgeable guide who shows his passion for the beautiful city of Amritsar, its people and its history. The Golden Temple absolutely speaks for itself and was breathtakingly beautiful. Ravish also took you to parts of the complex that visitors wouldn’t normally be able to go to as we toured the communal kitchens as well and got some amazing views of the temple. The Partition museum was very interesting and told the story of the devastating impact of partition on the Punjab. After a short break, we went to the border ceremony - Ravish guided you right to the VIP queue for the border stadium and waited patiently till it ended. Overall, fabulous tour and I was very well looked after from start to finish, with clear communication in the days prior to my arrival in Amritsar.

Golden Temple visit with an excellent insight of the area by the guide. - The guide was very professional and took the time to make us comfortable, ensuring that no aspect of the visit was missed. Aside from the tiring long walk and stair climbing, the visit was very fruitful, and the friendly nature of the guide made the overall experience worthwhile and good value for the money we paid.
