“Pune is great, choose this tour - I chose this tour after I took the private Mumbai tour. We drove from Mumbai to Pune and back in the same day. Yeah, it’s a drive, but the AC clean car was comfortable and safe. I had more chai in that one day than anyone should drink. I tried Irani chai - amazing. Had the most amazing biryani at a local spot called Diamond Queen. It was better than eating at a place that everyone has been to and reviewed. We did so much. Cool things - Osho gardens; St Patrick church; beautiful Gurdwara (please go inside); Gandhi museum; India war memorial (why selfie?), we drove through the city streets at night. The sounds, people, lights were mesmerizing. I learned so much about the city, the history, the culture, and India. I’m glad that the driver ate with us. (Some don’t) I am blessed; I made a friend on this trip that will always be a part of me and my journey. It’s amazing to find someone who had as much fun as I did; while always looking out for my every comfort and safety. Please choose this or another tour from this tour company.” - Reviewed on 2023-12-26
