Pune is great choose this tour - I chose this tour after I took the private Mumbai tour. We drove from Mumbai to Pune and back in the same day. Yeah it’s a drive, but the ac clean car was comfortable and safe. I had more chai in that one day than anyone should drink. I tried Irani chai-amazing. Had the most amazing briyani at a local spot called diamond queen. It was better than eating at a place that everyone has been to and reviewed. We did so much. Cool things- Osho gardens ; St Patrick church; beautiful Gurdwara (please go inside); ghandi museum; India war memorial (why selfie?), we drove through the city streets at night. The sounds, people, lights was mesmerizing. I learned so much about the city, the history, the culture and India. I’m glad that the driver ate with us. (Some don’t) I am blessed; I made a friend on this trip that will always be a part of me and my journey. It’s amazing to find someone who had as much fun as I did; while always looking out for my every comfort and safety. Please chose this or another tour from this tour company.

AMAZING tour!! - I can’t speak enough to what a wonderful tour this was. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ The communication was on point (and I booked the tour at the last minute the night before) and I already had instructions less than 30 minutes after booking for the next day. Was a little apprehensive that I was going by myself at first but Rahil was the ultimate professional and made me feel very comfortable. He’s very knowledgeable about the history of Pune and tailors the tour to your preference and timing (I had a time constraint). He makes sure you experience the culture and local foods. He’s super accommodating and engaging and I couldn’t recommend this business more. Will definitely book again if/when I find myself back in Pune with my family. Thanks Rahil!!

This bespoke tour introduces us to an unexpectedly charming, diverse, and pleasant city. Must see. - This was an exceptional way to spend a day in Pune. We were able to tailor the tour to our particular interests and passions. Specifically, we were able to see examples of a tolerant, diverse, and unique city we knew little about before our trip. We highly recommend you take advantage of this trip, and know, you wil be in good hands with Rahil. We will certainly do this again in the near future.

Pune like a local - Our group of 4 had a wonderful day getting to know Pune with Rahil. Although several sites were closed, we enjoyed the day and saw Pune through the eyes of a local. Rahil took us to a delicious local restaurant for lunch and we unexpectedly became part of a birthday party. It was an unforgettable day.

Best Of Pune Private Pune City Tour Including Lunch - This tour exceeded my expectations. Not only for all the details to make the visit pleasant, but for the human warmth of Sanya. I recommend this tour to know both the historic Pune and the modern and current growing city.

Great Immersion into Pune City and Indian Culture - We had a great day touring the different parts of Pune with World of Bollywood. Our driver was a safe and great driver. weaving through all the traffic. He picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel promptly. Our tour guide - Rahil - was very friendly and informative of the city and the people since he grew up there. He finds spots that make us feel like we were a part of the everyday hustle and bustle of Pune. There were so many things we did and places we saw that day, but here are some of my favorite parts of the tour. One of the pit stops he brought us to was a local lunch spot. The food was delicious and fresh. He also was able to order us several dishes that met our vegan dietary needs. Another pit stop he brought us to was a local breakfast place where we sampled some of the local dishes and coffee/tea. Another great experience was riding in a rickshaw, which we've never done before! Overall, a great tour that we recommend to anyone who wants to see Pune as much as they can in one day!
