Fabulous tour and first class service - This is a fantastic experience one we would highly recommend and the service by Deejohn holidays is outstanding. Prior to our trip we had excellent communication with Sunil who explained everything we not know. We were collected from our hotel on time and transferred to the train, where we were shown to our seats. Our seats were in what I would call a 2nd class air conditioned carriage. During the train journey we were served breakfast and lunch which was unexpected. The train journey is around 6 hours and on arrival in Amritsar we were met in the train by our guide Mandeep. Mandeep was wonderful and across tour explained the Sikh faith and many facets of Sikh beliefs and history. On the first night we when to the flag lowering ceremony at the Pakistan border. This was great fun and worth the trip to Amritsar on its own. Please remember to have your passport with you as as advised it allows entry into a VIP seating area. On our night there were around 10,000 people at the ceremony so access to the VIP area was wonderful and the atmosphere at the ceremony was amazing. On the second day we visited the Golden Temp,e which may turn out to be the highlight of our 3 week journey across India. Such a wonderful spiritual experience. Whilst we were at the Golden Temple one of our party became very unwell, they had been feeling unwell for a few days. We decided not to take the return train and sought to book flights back to Dehli. Mandeep, Sunil and the whole Deejohn team helped us in every way to purchase tickets and board a flight in the early afternoon. On arrival back in Delhi we were even collected at the airport and transferred back to our hotel. We cannot thank Sunil and his team at Deejohn holidays enough and would recommend them to everyone. Our visit to the Golden Temple was amazing, our guide Mandeep was outstanding and the manner in which we were cared for by the team at Deejohn holidays was wonderful.

Fantastic tour and wonderful service by Deejohn Holidays - The trip to Amritsar was amongst our highlights of a lengthy tour of India. We had had excellent communication beforehand for tour providers Deejohn holidays and were collected at our hotel on time and taken to the train. The train journey was very good, AC carriage is like 2nd class and was very comfortable and the fare included breakfast and lunch. On arrival at Amritsar we were met at the train and our guide Mandeep was wonderful, so knowledgeable about the city, Sikh faith and history. We enjoyed the flag lowering ceremony at the border of Pakistan, what an amazing experience to see. The next day we toured the Golden Temple which could be one of the highlights of our entire trip to India, breathtakingly beautiful and so spiritual, we also toured the the kitchen and dining room to see the volunteers at work preparing meals for the thousands of pilgrims who attend everyday. Unfortunately during our tour one of our party became unwell we decided to return to Delhi by plane instead of the planned train. Deejohn tours helped us enormously to arranged flights on the day and transferred us to the airport. When we arrived back in Delhi we were collected by Deejohn tours from the airport and transferred to our hotel which wasn’t part of the arranged trip but was most welcomed. We cannot recommend this tour or Deejohn holidays more highly, the arrangements and communication was first class and the care they provided us was amazing. Thank you to the whole team.

Cram this into your trip if you can - This is such a good and difference experience that you should cram into your trip if you can. The border ceremony is a very surreal experience and the golden temple complex is one of the best buildings I have seen and also run by one of the most interesting communities (the Sikhs). You get to go inside the kitchens etc and see it all which is a really good experience

Great personal service - We were met by Daniel on the train on arrival at Amritsar, shown to the car and met our lovely driver, Arman. They took us to the gorgeous hotel and checked us in. Later we went to the Border ceremony where Daniel escorted us all the way in, explaining everything and answering and questions. The following day they were more than accommodating our change in the itinerary. We went to see the Golden Temple before sunrise. It was cool, quiet and absolutely stunning, again Daniel explained everything to us. They took us to a couple of shops and allowed us to chill before heading to the station for our return journey. I have to say Arman was amazing at negotiating these crazy roads. Thank you for a great tour.

A great tour to experience the Punjab and another area of India - We had a really enjoyable experience with Mandeep. It was fantastic to spend so much time at the golden temple and to see how all the cooking is done and learn about the sikh community and have some tea! The border ceremony was also a very interesting experience. Everything was very smooth and the driver Arman was good - we were literally put on the train in Delhi and picked up off of the carriage. A great tour to experience the Punjab and another area of India.

Well organized trip to Amritsar - Everything went to plan and had an amazing time in Amritsar. Well worth the detour from Delhi to see the Golden Temple and the Border Ceremony. Mandeep and Armir were great, kept me on track, and had plenty of opportunities to take photos.

Amritsar worth the visit! - We had excellent service in Delhi with Manoj and driver. He went over and above and we wish he could have followed us to Amritsar. Our guide Vivek was not what we would have liked. We tried to express certain requests which were disregarded. He seemed preoccupied and left us at lunch for 2 1/2 hours when we would have preferred shopping for trinkets for gifts at street vendors. Driver with Vivek was great.
