Not to be Missed - My favorite tour on my trip to India. Nivi was a great guide. She made it informative as well as fun. I felt like it was a tour with a friend, not a guide. Our driver was fantastic too. Not only did he do the tour with us, and be the bag carrier for my shopping, he went out his way to take me to a shop to make a special purpose.. I would recommend 5 Senses Tour to anyone.

Big fat indian wediing walk - What an amazing day! Padma was a phenomenal guide as she told me so many things about shopping for an indian wedding. We visited magnificent jewelry shops. The colorful silk saree shops were incredible. So were the roadside flower shops. The best part of the walk was the conversation and the perspective you get about Indian way of life. Do this. It's worth it

Shopping on a busy street - While Nivi was an outstanding guide, I feel that the description of this tour was somewhat misleading. It really is just a shopping experience on one very busy street. Opportunity to buy goods in stores and from street vendors. Having said that, Nivi was extremely generous with her knowledge, and in answering our peculiar questions, we learnt a great deal.
