I had an excellent experience with this tour! It was highly informative and engaging. The guide’s knowledge and enthusiasm made the tour truly special. The tour was very well thought out, covering all the important sites and providing a comprehensive overview. The Aarti in the evening was the highlight of the tour. Avant made sure we had the best spots to watch. Highly recommend this tour!
