This tour package was fantastic. The guide, Hardik Singhania, was extremely kind and informative about every stop. He really did a good job showing you all the important places in depth and keeping to schedule. If you cannot spend more than a day, then this package is well worth it.
Thanks for your review. It helps other travellers to know about our genuine services.
I had an extra day in Amritsar so I arranged a tour through Viator. My visit to the Golden Temple turned out to be the highlight of my whole India vacation. Prarit, my wonderful guide, really impressed me by taking me behind the scenes into the massive kitchen where they serve up to 150,000 free meals daily! Watching the coordinated effort of all the volunteers working together was fascinating. When I told my friends about this special access, they were amazed since they've worshipped there many times but never got to see the kitchen operations firsthand. Prarit and our driver also gave me an incredible tour of other significant sites - the powerful exhibits at the Partition Museum, the sobering Jallianwala Bagh massacre site, and the energetic border ceremony between India and Pakistan. Throughout the day, Prarit shared fascinating historical context and cultural insights that made each stop meaningful. Being a lifelong resident of Amritsar, Prarit's knowledge and storytelling turned what could have been just another sightseeing day into a truly memorable and educational experience of Amritsar's rich heritage.
Thanks David for such an amazing review. I appreciate your kind words and Hope to see you again.
I have just returned from our trip to Punjab where we hired the services of Walkandexplore and we are very satisfied with them. Prarit our guide, is very professional and has great interest in us to know his culture. We highly recommend this agency to visit Punjab.
Its glad to know that you really enjoyed our Full Day tour in Amritsar. Hope to see you again in India very soon.
This tour was amazing and tour guide Mr prarit took us to all places as per itinerary and also visited few extra places. All places were explained in detail. We had a very good experience. Mr Prarit made this tour most memorable. This tour in amritsar will be written in golden words in my memory. Thank you..
Thanks Sujatha ji for booking tour with Walk and Explore. It was a pleasure to host you in Amritsar. Hope to see you again soon.
Excellent day in the company of Prarit in his home city of Amritsar. Plenty of time at the sites in the city… recommended.
Its our pleasure that you really like a tour with us 😁.
I booked the one-day tour package and met both of them. They were both extremely polite people. I asked Prarit (28) to start the trip with breakfast, and he did it at a small Amritsari Kulcha shop that offered the best ones. Our next stop was Jallianwala Bagh and the Golden Temple. The guide carefully explained every aspect with his extensive knowledge of the city's culture and history. I desired to have a turban tied on my head, and the guide rescheduled to accommodate me, providing an unforgettable experience. After seeing the langar, cooking, and cleaning, we had lunch there before heading to the Wagah Border. I had an amazing experience! It was a struggle to find a good place to sit, and Prarit guided me to the same. The Wagah border can be a nightmare if we fail to arrange for our return trip beforehand. The reason it was such a good experience was because everything was arranged. Following the tour, the guide recommended activities for the next day, temples and restaurants to dine at, and even suggested good dishes. Prarit deserves special thanks for making Amritsar an unforgettable experience by making everything super convenient and enriching the experience to such heights.
Thank you so much Arvind for such a amazing and detailed review. It means alot for us. I hope to see you again in amritsar or in Chennai soon.
We had a wonderful one day tour of Amritsar. Our guide Prerit made sure we got a wonderful taste of all the local delicacies and were introduced to the most detailed history of the city. It felt like we saw all there was to see in just a day, and enjoyed thoroughly. Prerit was excellent and very patient. The Wagah border experience was the icing on the cake! We totally recommend this tour to anybody who’s visiting the city for the first time. It was a fabulous experience!

I had a great day in Amritsar including the Golden Temple, Jalianwalla Bagh and the changing of the guard at the Pakistan border, with guide Hardik Singhania.
