Well worth a visit! - Great service and great couple of hours in Pune's old town area! The guide, Aakash, was punctual, engaging, very knowledgeable, with a good sense of humour, as well as being attentive to any risks.

Great walking tour - We booked spontaneously and enjoyed a great afternoon walking through Pune with Sanket. We recommend to buy the ticket to go inside Shaniwar Wada in the beginning of the tour.

An absolute gem of a tour of Pune! - This tour was one of my favorite things I’ve ever done! Dhruv made this tour so spectacular, it’s clear that he cares so much about this city and really really enjoys talking about history. If you’re on the fence about taking the tour, do it! 1000% would recommend. Thanks Dhruv!

Spiritual walk - Walk was good loved the visit to the old Ganesh Temples . Bajirao Palace visit was not very useful as there was nothing much to see .

Started out great but lack of guidance toward the end - The tour started out great, interesting stories at Shaniwar Wada about how the place came to be and how it put Pune on the map. The places in the old city were interesting but I wish we had a bit more guidance on what to give those who watched the shoes at the temples. This was our first experience visiting a Temple in India, and we realized after that we likely blundered, but I feel the guide should be giving assistance in this way. The snacks and drink were both tasty but I was also surprised at how abrupt the tour ended and we weren't brought back to the start location where it was better to get a taxi, like it said in the description.

No show - Sadly the guide didn’t show up at the agreed time - and the company didn’t inform me they wanted to change the tour from 10am to 430pm!,, I’d recommend calling them to double check they will show up. Waiting for refund.

Beaware of these amateurs - Worst tour guide one can encounter. Zero knowlege of the place. Doesn't knows the history of the place and looting people's time and money. A 30 second clip on internet can be more knowledgeable than this guide's total knowlede of shaniwar wada
