I highly recommend this top-notch tour - I can’t imagine a better way to spend an afternoon in Pune! There was so much history, cultural significance, religious splendor, shopping opportunities and delicious treats jam packed into just a few hours that my head is still spinning.
My tour guide, Tejas, was fantastic! He made each site come to life as he shared colorful stories of Pune’s rich history. He also made sure I had the chance to sample some delicious local foods as we weaved our way from one site to the next. A truly enjoyable and memorable visit!
Just as a side note: Tejas was also kind enough to help secure a taxi for me and then wait with me for almost 20 minutes until it arrived. He really went above and beyond and I could not be more grateful.
