- Jessicapeters1230 contributionsExcellent day tripThe statue of unity is a lovely excursion from Ahmedabad. The statue is spectacular and imposing. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helped us understand the contribution of Sardar Patel in unifying India. The statue is decided to him. The tour included a lovely indian lunch. Highly recommended .Written 1 December 2024
- 257franciscojaviera0 contributionsAmazing tour with Anand, such a knowledgeable and lovely personIt was great to see the amazing step well of Adalaj, the ashram and the old city. I was taken by Anand and his driver from my hotel. Something that I really valued was the conversations and explanations about any aspect of the Indian culture. I totally recommend!Written 21 October 2024
- Samj68p0 contributionsSlice of historyThis was an amazing tour. Our guide was right on time to pick us up in Ahmedabad. We had a clean and comfortable car. Thr driver was also polite and safe. The statue is awe inspiring It was a lovely day exploring the heritage and fascinating history of India. Very highly recommended.Written 28 September 2024
- dixiem5140 contributionsGreat personal tour of AhmedabadMy guide Bhupendra was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable about all of the sites, and made sure I was always safe and comfortable. This is a great tour to get to know Ahmedabad a little more, and my favorite, to visit Gandhi Ashram. One thing I recommend to add to this description is that women should consider bringing a light scarf to cover their head in the Hutheesing Jain Temple.Written 11 August 2024
- Alan D0 contributionsExcellent cultural and architectural tour.Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He shared many details and was clearly passionate about the history and cultural significance of each place on the tour.Written 3 March 2024
- ethanfreiss0 contributionsAhmedabad Tour with BhupenThe tour with Bhupen was an incredible experience and he was extremely knowledgeable about every stop along the tour. We especially enjoyed the Heritage Walk through the Old City and Adalaj Stepwell. The authentic Gujarat meal that we shared with Bhupen for lunch was our favorite meal on the trip and we enjoyed learning about all the different food. We couldn’t recommend this tour more.Written 15 February 2024
- panloups_5260 contributionsNot to be missed in AhmedabadMy day in Ahmedabad could not have been better. I am here on business and had one day to get out and see the city. Bhupen was a wonderful guide. Incredibly kind and knowledgeable. He took me on a really nice walk through the old city, to a variety of mosques and temples, to a breathtakingly beautiful step well, to the humbling Sabarmati ashram on the river, and a delicious lunch. It was the perfect way to spend my first day here in Ahmedabad and I would recommend his tour to anyone.Written 28 January 2024
- 11sandhyas0 contributionsFamily tour of AhmedabadBhupen was such a great tour guide! He was very knowledgeable about the history of Ahmedabad and easy to understand. He was very kind, patient and respectful. Plus he added in some extra points of interest into our tour which made the day even more special.Written 23 December 2023
- wuileng0 contributionsAmazing Tour and GuideHad a great day tour with the very friendly and knowledgeable guide Bhupen. Everything was smooth from the pickup at the hotel to the dropoff that afternoon. The tour can also be customized based on your preferences! Highly recommended!Written 9 December 2023
- martinwY117MC0 contributionsInteresting Palace tour..Very interesting and insight into the life of the maharaja whose family still lives there. Good audio is available in all languages to guide your round the part of the Palace that is open to the public. The building is a magnificent testimont to the architecture of the time it was built. Certainly a very good half day out to tour this building and its surroundings.Written 7 December 2023
- corinaf8050 contributionsGreat overview of main landmarks in AhmedabadWe greatly enjoyed this tour with Girish. We felt immersed in the wonder of the step well and in the life of Mahatma Gandhi at the ashram.Written 29 November 2023
- katiedG4409AK0 contributionsSaved us from a different provider's bad tour experience!We came to Ahmedabad for 4 days for a wedding. The bride made tour arrangements through our hotel for our first day. The tour guide picked us up and it turned out they only sent a driver who did not speak English even though my brother-in-law had made it clear that we wanted an English speaking tour guide and not just a driver. He was dropping us places with no context and no help navigating the language barriers. I reached out to Five Senses Tour at about 9:40 am at our first stop when it became clear the tour wasn't going to work. They responded within an hour and arranged for Girish to meet us at Sabarmati Ashram within 2 hours. This was so amazing since it was also New Year's Day. Girish took over our tour and gave us an great, in-depth tour of the Ashram, Hutheesing Jain Temple, showed us one of the old city gates, got us tea and a butter sandwich at Lucky Restaurant, showed us The House of MG, and told us about Sidi Saiyyed Mosque. We enjoyed his tour so much that we arrange to do the World Heritage City Tour with Girish on our last day in Ahmedabad. Girish was so knowledgeable and you can tell he loves his city and wants everyone to love Ahmedabad. It was also clear, while we were walking around, that the locals appreciate Girish as well. We really appreciate their taking us on last minute tour!Written 29 November 2023
- Pierce B0 contributionsGreat day with BhupenWe did the city trip with Bhupen. We felt it was a bit expensive when booking but well worth it. Bhupen’s knowledge of culture, history and religion added a whole extra dimension to the trip. In addition we had a full traditional Gujerati lunch which was fabulous. Highly recommended.Written 20 November 2023
- 473nicoletteb0 contributionsSolo female traveller experience: safe, fun and expansiveThis was my first time in India, travelling solo and this was one of the most pricey tours I’ve ever chosen. But I can say it was worth every cent/rupee. My guide was highly attentive (like when I told him I needed a rest room), fully knowledgeable (about local sights, their context and history) and positively spirited (making the day fun as well as deeply culturally interesting). I highly recommend it to others.Written 28 September 2023
- Silvia R0 contributionsA great dayBhupen, a professional guide, who takes every wish from your eyes and works hard to make it come true. With his culturally open and humanly empathetic manner, he regularly achieves this. Thank you for this...Written 21 August 2023

This was a brilliant full day excursion to experience some incredible historical sites outside of Ahmedabad. Collection by the guide and driver was very smooth, with the guide (Bhupen) answering all of my questions in detail all day long. The sun temple and step well were both stunning. And the sari museum was an amazing stop off and I'm in awe of the skill and technique used by the family.
All in all, an excellent 10 hours spent.

It was absolutely the best tour experience that we had in India so far! If you have the possibility to ask for a particular guide - ask for Girish! I mean it! Not only is he knowledgeable, tactful and full of little anecdotes that get into you and stay with you long after the tour. He can also literally bring the visited places and monuments to life by going into details about their construction, mythological and cultural background, etc. The Sun Temple and the Stepwell were amazing sites in their own capacity but the guiding experience delivered by Girish made them a truly unforgettable experience! Highly recommended!

Memorable tour. Highly recommended. The driver and guide were on time and very professional. The places had amazing architecture and mesmerizing. I was lucky to have visited the sun T egg mole when there was a rehearsal and singing for an upcoming dignitaries. It was very interesting to witness it and imagine how the place would have been during its hay days.

I organized this for my aunt. The tour operator verified and confirmed details the day before which was great. The car was clean and modern, and the driver was expert. The tour guide was wonderful! Knowledgeable, kind and helpful. My aunt raved about the day and I felt she was in good hands.
