Amritsar : walking tour and culinary experience - Prarit was our guide for two days. He took us to such fabulous parts of the city and ate at the best food places. He is knowledgeable about the city. My parents were with me and he was extremely courteous and took good care of them. I highly recommend him as a guide if you are visiting Amritsar

Amritsar experience - We had an amazing day with Prerit as our guide. We did a walking tour which started at our hotel and took in the sites and sounds of the city. We learnt so much about the history of Amritsar and the Jillian Wala Bagh massacre site culminating in our visit to the spectacular Golden Temple. We were also fortunate to get a back stage pass to the kitchens and preparation areas of the Langa halls where up to 100,000 people are fed daily and makes it the world's largest kitchen. In the afternoon we visited the Wagah border and was entertained by beating the retreat and changing of the guard. Thanks Prerit for a fantastic day!!
