Wonderful insight into Pune culture - We had a great day exploring the cultural heritage of Pune with a wonderful guide Snehal and driver. She provided fascinating commentary & information throughout the day. The walk through the Tulsi Baug shopping market was great fun & all of the temples were fascinating. The visit to Aga Khan Palace & Ghandi exhibits really provided an historical perspective of the era. We were particularly glad that the company were able to pick us up from our hotel in Talegaon. Lunch at a Thali restaurant was a highlight.

Great informative tour - This was a great experience for me and my girlfriend. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the city, the landmarks we visited and was also very friendly. Can highly recommend.
The entire trip was well scheduled and fit nicely to within an 8 hour time window.

Aga Khan Palace at Pune - I had a visit of Aga Khan Palace at Pune. This is a historic place. Lot of freedom fighters stayed here during freedom movement. Mahatama Gandhi and Kasturba Gandhi used to stay here for long time. Kasturba Gandhi died at this place.
