This tour was very well organized considering we had to start at 10am having landed in the night. If you are short on time I recommend this tour - it is imperative to visit all these sights to understand Pune’s extremely rich cultural, religious history and important foodie culture as well. We also went during Lord Ganesh’s birthday which was a feast for our eyes. We were truly lucky!
