Good time in Amaritsar - Shaina from Gets Holiday tour were right on time to pick me up from the hotel. We went to the beautiful Golden temple where I learned so much about Sikhs history. What impressed me is the principle that everyone is equal and they were showing that they were actually sharing food side by side. Shaina help me use my scarf to make the turban. The Jalliawala Bagh border ceremony was fun. Thank you for taking me to purchase silk clothes they are what I was looking for. I has a good time.

Golden Temple and Wagha Border experience Jan-24 - We enjoyed this tour very much. Ajay was very polite and knowledgeable about Amritsar. We heard some very interesting stories Sikh history and their contribution to Indian's struggle for independence from British rule, whichwe really appreciated. The Golden Temple experience is very special, a must do. The Attari Border experience was a bit like watching a UK football match, but with Bollywood music on full blast. Kulcha lunch was delicious. Everythng we expected and more.

Golden temple and lowering of the flags ceremony - The experience was amazing. The golden temple was a highlight. Our guide made the experience better with her knowledge of the temple and provided insight into the history and details of the temple. The lowering of the flags was a very interesting event. Lots of pagentry and national pride. Overall a very good tour.

One of kind visit to Amritsar! - My tour was fantastic. I did it as a day trip from Delhi. Ashish was able to arrange pickup and drop off from the airport for a reasonable extra fee. Driver was there waiting and Ashish was coordinating in real time to ensure we connected. Lazia was a wonderful tour guide, friendly and very knowledgeable. As beautiful and impressive as the golden temple was, getting to see the kitchen area of where they feed all the pilgrims may have been my favorite part of the Golden Temple. Lazia talked me through the operation and its connection with the Sikh faith, which was fascinating. There was a long gap (4 hours) between the temple tour and border ceremony because of the temple would be too hot in the middle of the day (at least this time of year) and when the border ceremony occurs. I went to a mall, which was fine, though many stores were closed. I went to the Partition Museum, which was a great and interesting introduction to the next part of the tour. What to say about the Wagah border ceremony, it’s an experience and well worth it! Lazia sat in another section, which was not an issue. On the way back I was able to ask her all sort of questions. This tour is designed for people staying in Amritsar. It’s doable as a day trip from Delhi but flight schedules made it a long day. It might be nice to have add-on options for those without hotel rooms to return to beat the heat between the two portions of the tour. Not a criticism at all, just a suggestion. All in all, a great tour and I highly recommend! Thank you, Ashish and Lazia!

Excellent - Leisurely paced, private tour of the Golden Temple, Jalliawala Bagh and Wagah border ceremony. Our guide Lazia was very good. Car and driver Sonu were also very good. Took great care of us. Lazia gave us an excellent tour of the temple’s kitchen. Great value.
