The best - I was hesitant initially to go with a guide . But booked a guide through trip advisor . I would say that he is worth . He has got a lot of patience to explain the intricate details. He is a thorough professional. Very caring and passionate and does not do it for namesake . He is highly trust worthy and supportive to tourists . I would highly recommend him to anyone. He will take you to the best shops for wooden, puja items , clothing

Discovering the unknown Amritsar - This was an excellent walk. Hardik is very knowledgeable about the city and its history, and was able to give me a very good introduction to various aspects of Amritsar. For example, who would have thought that there could be a traditional Rajasthani haveli hidden inside one of the tiny lanes of the old city?
I highly recommend this walk & wish Hardik & his partners all success.

Hidden treasures - Hardik showed us his city and he did a really good job. He speaks good English. After the memorial cities, we continued with architecture and ended with handicrafts (not the tourist stuff). He showed us hidden treasures that we would never have seen without him.

Great tour of Amritsar with a great guide! - We loved this tour of the city, as Prerit was a great storyteller and also very accommodating to our wants, needs and questions! He showed us parts of the city we would have never found on our own or by googling, and we felt that we truly got a taste of the city and the culture during these hours. Would definitely recommend!

Uncovering hidden gems in Amritsar - There is more to Amritsar than just the Golden Temple. Much of it is found in the narrow lanes and alleyways. This tour was a great way to find many rare gems in the old city. The guide is very polite and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour.

Hidden gems of Amritsar - Prarit was a wonderful guide and had lots of knowledge about the hidden gems of Amritsar, which most tourists would not see.
I recommend him if you come to Amritsar.

Explore Amritsar beyond the tourist places - A walk through the heart of the city. It was nice walk knowing the local Amritsar city. Recommended if you want to explore the city beyond the usual tourist places. This tour involves 2 to 2.5 hours of walking, so consider this before booking.

Amritsar walking tour - Amritsar is a lovely city with so much of history and so many stories to tell! The heritage walk was very interesting as we were able to explore places that we would have definitely not ventured on our own to see. The Ashram, the 400 hundred year old Banyan tree growing right in the middle of the small lanes were amazing. Mr. Prarit, our tour guide, was very sincere and knowledgeable. It was a good decision to go for the walking tour.
