Wonderful visit to Golden temple, Jallianwala Bagh and Wagha Border ceremony! My tour guide Priya was friendly and took good care of me throughout the day! Gets Holidays was very accommodating to the changes I wanted. Delicious food stops and rich history - recommend it highly! A bit more detail on the history if the sites would have made it an even better trip!

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The tour guide "Jassi" was exceptional: he truly made this a memorable experience. I had mentioned to Jassi that I enjoyed photography and he truly went out of his way to ensure I had many unique photo opportunities. This tour and Jassi truly exceeded all expections.

Decided to come visit Amritsar for the day so I went with this tour to see as much as I could in that time. I did have to pay an additional charge to be picked up from the airport instead of a hotel in Amritsar but the driver was right on time and made sure to drop me back off with enough time to catch my flight back. My tour guide for the day was Sandeep (Sunny) and he was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the different parts of Amritsar and able to answer any questions I had. Getting to experience the golden temple and wagah border are two memories I can cherish for a long time now. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested

As a Sikh, it was an amazing experience to visit Harmindar Sahib, Amritsar. Even though it was crowded and we had to wait for around one and a half hours to go in, the line was organized and people were patient. Some families took their little ones and for them, it was not easy, with the heat and the crowd. The Gurudwara and surrounding buildings were beautiful. The sarowar was calm and gave you a feeling of serenity. Definitely would like to go visit again some day.
