Amazing Day Excellent Guide - We had a wonderful day in Amritsar with Ravish, his knowledge of the fabulous sights was outstanding and he really made the history and stories come to life. The golden temple tour was incredible and such a beautiful monument, and the border crossing was a fantastic spectacle. We would thoroughly recommend Ravish to anyone coming to visit Amritsar.

Ravish is a gem! - Ravish made our day memorable and very enjoyable. Ravish was great at sharing his knowledge and love of his country to help us understand all the interesting things we saw today. He explained everything in detail and allowed us time to truly appreciate all the aspects of our itinerary. Ravish went out of his way to make us comfortable.

Great experience - What an amazing experience, I had a wonderful day experiencing all that Amritsar has to offer with Rishi. The tour of the Golden Temple was more than I could image and the retreat ceremony at the Wagah border was sensational. Rishi was an excellent guide I had a great time meeting him and getting his insights on his home town.

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.

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.
