Pushkar must-do - We took this tour based on the good reviews and it did not disappoint. As two solo female travellers we felt very safe al throughtout the tour. Vishwanath was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and always ready to answer our questions. We learned many new things about Hinduism, despite it not being our first tour in India. Our visit to Brahma Temple with Vishwanath was filled with details and stories. Attending the Aarti at the end of the tour was an unforgettable experience. We definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Pushkar.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and kind. He offered us a drink to cool off mid-tour. Really nice.

Awesome guide - It was a last minute decision to book the tour, and I am glad to have Manish, who has a Masters in History, as my guide. He is patient and was able to piqued my interest in any subject matters throughout, while shielding me from scammers. I would like to congratulate him as he will soon be an uncle, and I wish him all the best in the upcoming entrances exams.

An Amazing Experience - Vishwanath was a fantastic guide, so knowledgable and present with us. This was definitely the best tour I've ever had in India. To learn about the sacredness of Pushkar, the different temples and to experience Aarti was incredible. If you ever come to Pushkar, you must do this tour on your first or second day 🙏🏻

My guide Vishwanath was incredible! - Being in Pushkar for 1 day I’m glad I chose the afternoon sunset tour. Vishwanath was so knowledgeable about the history, religion and architecture. I can’t believe how much I saw and learned in this perfectly planned out tour.

Unbeatable experience in Pushkar - We came to Pushkar from Spain as a group of 4 friends. We took the tour with Manish. The tour exceeded our expectations 200%. Perfect English (he spoke to us slowly so that we understood him, he repeated it as many times as necessary...), he explains all the history, architecture, culture and traditions in an entertaining, fun and interesting way. Polite, friendly, involved guide. He made us participate in a Hindu ritual, he gave us a taste of the typical tea, he took us to see the best sunset, all the important temples... The tour in the end lasted almost two more hours, it seemed so short!! Our best guide in India. I wish you could accompany us the entire trip. Totally recommended if you come to India.

Good way to explore the holy city if Pushkar - I am a regular user of viator for booking walking tours and food walks.Love this way of exploring and getting to know the spirit of the city.
Manish our tour guide was proactive from the word go.Manish came out as a knowledgeable guide.
He was before time to pick us from our hotel.The walk was informative and pretty flexible as it was a private walk tour.We throughly enjoyed the walk covering two ancient temples,sipping tea and watching sunset,walking barefoot around the pushkar lake to reach the Brahma Ghat to watch the evening aarti.Watching aarti was a soul stirring experience.
I highly recommend the walk tour.But be mindful of the weather.The walk should be avoided during summers or timing of the walk should be changed.
