Great walking tour - We booked spontaneously and enjoyed a great afternoon walking through Pune with Sanket. We recommend to buy the ticket to go inside Shaniwar Wada in the beginning of the tour.

An absolute gem of a tour of Pune! - This tour was one of my favorite things I’ve ever done! Dhruv made this tour so spectacular, it’s clear that he cares so much about this city and really really enjoys talking about history. If you’re on the fence about taking the tour, do it! 1000% would recommend. Thanks Dhruv!

Great tour! - I'm here in Pune for a week in February and wanted to make sure I explore the city and check out a few places and I got to do this by booking the tour. Upon booking Aakash, my tour guide, sent me a message clarifying meet up details and time which I appreciated. We went to all the places on the list and Aakash was very helpful in answering any questions and patient with me while I took some time shopping. I wanted to get a saree and he was able to find a store nearby that we stopped in. I appreciated his knowledge, attentiveness and would definitely recommend for anyone to book this tour when visiting Pune. It's a great way to hit a few spots in one.

Pune city walking tour with Koustubh - Koustubh was very knowledgeable, professional, polite and caring. He explained in detail the history of the visited sights along with interesting anecdotes of the various characters involved. He also exposed us to some of the unique deserts of Pune.

Worthwhile and informative - I had a lovely morning exploring old Pune with my friendly guide Snehall. Her information deepened my understanding of Punes rich history and the Hindi faith. My guide shaped the tour around my interests. Worthwhile experience!

Spiritual walk - Walk was good loved the visit to the old Ganesh Temples . Bajirao Palace visit was not very useful as there was nothing much to see .

Started out great but lack of guidance toward the end - The tour started out great, interesting stories at Shaniwar Wada about how the place came to be and how it put Pune on the map. The places in the old city were interesting but I wish we had a bit more guidance on what to give those who watched the shoes at the temples. This was our first experience visiting a Temple in India, and we realized after that we likely blundered, but I feel the guide should be giving assistance in this way. The snacks and drink were both tasty but I was also surprised at how abrupt the tour ended and we weren't brought back to the start location where it was better to get a taxi, like it said in the description.

Beaware of these amateurs - Worst tour guide one can encounter. Zero knowlege of the place. Doesn't knows the history of the place and looting people's time and money. A 30 second clip on internet can be more knowledgeable than this guide's total knowlede of shaniwar wada
