Memorable Pune Trip - Must do well rounded trip in Pune!
With our guide Ajit, we went to multiple places with very thorough learning of Pune historical importance in Freedom struggle and in social education aspect in India. We also visited many temples, including Pataleshwar Cave Temple which is my favorite one by far. We ended the day with lunch and Aga Khan palace before heading home.
Happy for spending whole day with this program and company!

Experience Pune, its people, culture, food, history and religion. - My tour of Pune was excellent. My guide was knowledgeable, spoke good English, and answered my many questions about the history, culture, religion, and people of India. The locations of the tour were ideal and places that I could never have found or understood on my own. My driver and tour guide were polite and attentive and I felt safe navigating the markets and backstreets of Pune, places that I would not have ventured into by myself. The lunch was at a traditional family-style Indian restaurant frequented by many Indian families. The waiter continuously brought food and I experienced the great foods of India. I would highly recommend this tour.

Very recommended 😁 - It’s my first time ever in Pune and we are so glad we picked the right service. Eventhough we had to cut short due to some personal unexpected event, our tour guide tried to organized and took us to 5 different locations and still managed to have lunch so it felt worth the money we spent. Nice clean car, polite friendly experienced tour guide, lots of information and delicious food ☺️

Such a lovely day touring Pune! - Ajit was a wonderful tour guide. I enjoyed all of the stops we made and appreciated that some of them were lesser known so I truly got to see sights I wouldn’t have found on my own. Ajit knows so much about the history of Pune and stories of the gods. Lunch was also absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this tour and Ajit.

Fabulous Pune tour - Five senses tours did an awesome job of the Pune city tour. In just over 6 hours we saw the best things Pune had to offer. There was history, culture, fun and food. The Shaniwarwada Palace was an intriguing place with fascinating legends. We also enjoyed a quirky temple of Elephant god. The lunch organised was delicious and we could experience the local food of Pune. The whole tour was managed in clockwork precision and at the same time we met we had an enriching experience of the city, its customs and the people.
