Except and informative guide - Amrit was an excellent and informative guide, teaching us much about the Sikh religion and the history of the region. Highlight was a visit to the temple kitchens that prepare meals for 100,000 people per day with the hel of volunteers. Note: to visit inside the heart of the temple typically requires a 4 hour queue, so make special arrangements.

Amrit is an excellent and informative guide - Amrit was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and with excellent English. He taught us a lot about the Sikh religion and the history of the region. The visit to the temple kitchens where they feed 100,000 visitors per day with the help of many volunteers was fascinating.

My experience with this company was exceptional—I’d say it was my highest experience in New Delhi. They were prompt, eff - New Delhi offered an unforgettable journey through history and vibrant culture. The Red Fort showcased stunning Mughal architecture, while the towering Qutub Minar impressed with its intricate carvings. Strolling through the peaceful greenery of Lodhi Gardens provided a refreshing break. Each place had its own charm, blending history with serenity. The bustling markets added a lively contrast, with colors, scents, and sounds that brought the city to life. A knowledgeable guide made it easy to experience each highlight fully, capturing the essence of New Delhi in just a few spots.

Fantastic trip with a super guide. - fantastic trip with the super fantastic guide. Highly recommend. Amrit is the guide to go with. He not only knows the history of India, Punjab, Sikhism and interesting stories but he is a genuine part of the Sikhs’ community. You may easily learn a lot about the Golden Temple, see its different living parts and learn how is operating thanks to an army of volunteers. The visit to the temple, discussion with Amrit was a gem of the visit in Amirtsar. If you are interested in seeing the Wagah-Attari flag ceremony in a very convenient way, Amrit makes it possible in very convenient way. Definitely a trip with Amrit is a must-do experience.

Fantastic, highly recommended experience - This was a fantastic and highly recommendable experience! We booked an individual excursion with Amrit - everything was well organized, we were picked up from the hotel and did not have to worry about any entries, transits, look for way etc. What I enjoyed the most was Amrit's immense knowledge - we learned a lot about India, Sikhism (very inspirational!), the places we visited. We had a chance to see and experience not only the Golden Temple itself but also its hospitality (incl. its backstage) - as all visitors are fed for free. Last but definitely not least, Amrit speaks perfect English and is fun to do sightseeing with.

The best tour guide ‘Ram’ - Our tour guide Ram was 100% perfect.
He met us at our hotel with a very friendly smile and we warmed to him instantly.
He explained the tour to us and where we would go and done exactly as he said.
He was a very knowledgeable young man and was able to answer all our questions, some bizarre ones at times.
We also talked about our lifestyle’s, families and life in general.
He made the tour very interesting and really enjoyable.
If you book this and he is your guide you won’t be let down.
Thank you Ram for making the day very special and memorable.
Derek & Janette.
