I had an exceptional experience touring Guwahati with Avani Travel Services. My guide was Paul and he is one of the best guides I have met in India. He helped me do Kamakhya Devi Darshan within 15-20 minutes, took several nice photographs of me, took me to an authentic Assamese restaurant designed in traditional Assamese fashion and most importantly explained the history of Assam since Mahabharata times, as well the general culture of the place. We visited the Assam State Museum and Brahmaputra Heritage Center. At the end of the tour, there was a sunset cruise where two women performed Bihu dance, a guy sang some Bollywood songs live and dinner was provided. I would highly recommend this tour to anybody.
Mr. Bipul Das was my tour guide. He did a fantastic job when it coming to showing me around Guwahati.
We ( two chaps in their 70s) travelled to Guwahati and Ranchi to watch international cricket, India v South Africa. I contacted Avani Travel services and they arranged all transport, airport pickups and a daily service to and from the cricket. In addition on our free day we did the Guwahati Day Tour, Assamese Lunch and Sunset River Cruise. Sudarshan and driver Rupam were fantastic in every respect. Attentive to our needs and very considerate of our mobility issues. I highly recommend this company.
Had a very good experience taking a day tour. Had a very knowledgable guide who knew about his city and a enjoyed a wonderful lunch with local flavors. Will recommend this tour
I booked this tour for me and my Mam, the driver arrived promptly and we managed to see plenty; the highlights are the Brahmaputra Heritage centre & the boat trip!! Great, knowledgeable tour guide, definitely recommend 😁

We had booked this Guwahati day tour during our recent visit to Guwahati and the trip was excellent. The guide Mr. Sanu had excellent knowledge of the city and provided us with great trips. The tour was well planned and we had a good tour. The lunch provided was also excellent. Highly recommended.
A well structured trip for a quick tour of main places in Guwahati. Evening cruise was excellent. Our tour guide Mr Bipul was very friendly and gave a lot of information about the local history of the places too. U can a good glimpse of all places. Some places are closed on some days eg emporium is closed on Sunday etc. Plan accordingly. A great trip overall!
