Good trip! - We had never been to the border tour before. I am very satisfied with my experience with Viator. Our guide was extremely attentive and punctual. He was also quite knowledgeable about the Amritsar area, and made some really good recommendations for food and shopping.

Excellent Tour and Exceptional guide. - Our tour guide Narinder was a lovely friendly man, communicated regularly with us regarding the tour. Picked us up from hotel . Took us to the boarder for the ceremony, explained so much about the culture, traditions and history on the way. Can't recommend this tour and guide enough. Excellent time, big thanks to Narinder.

A good experience - A very enjoyable afternoon / evening. A high energy carnival-like atmosphere of music, impromptu Bollywood dancing by the audience, goose-stepping & yelling. A pity that audiance numbers were not matched on the Pakistan side, but definately worth seeing. It was good to see some light-hearted fun derived from the ongoing political tensions!

Wagha Border - We were a group of 3 girls and arranged the Wagha Border Tour with Narinder via Tripadvisor. Communication from booking to our arrival was excellent. He is very knowledgeable and explained the history of Amritsar. As it was our first girls trip to Amritsar, we felt slightly apprehensive but Narinder was funny, down to earth and we we felt safe in his company. He arranged Taxi's for us to visit other attractions and his prices were very reasonable - we didn't feel we were being ripped off as tourists. I would definitely recommend Narinder and his company.

A great tour of the boarder, a must see! - Such an amazing day at the boarder. We were picked up on time and shown around the sites leading up to the boarder. Our guide was incredibly kind and nice and was very knowledgeable about the current climate of political affairs which I found interesting and enjoyable to learn about. He was always willing to answer any question. We had the VIP line at the boarder because we were foreigners and our guide gave us tips for the best seats. The ceremony was amazing, the Indian people are very patriotic (wish it was like that in USA). Definitely a must see tour if you’re in Amritsar.

Amazing ceremony, best driver/guide - Our guide was very good, informative and got us to the ceremony in plenty of time for us to get good seats. He navigated the security check points so that it was a seamless entry.

Beat the queues - Narinder, our guide was brilliant. He has passes and contacts so we breezed past lots of queues. We also did the Golden temple tour with him. We got an exclusive behind the scenes view of the kitchens and a fantastic history lesson. Book Narinder for all your Amritsar tours!
