Full description
Explore the magnificent sights in Amritsar under the guidance of an expert local guide. From your hotel, head first to the famous Golden Temple, one of the most vital structures and key landmarks in the city. After you offer prayers at the Golden Temple, you'll visit the Langar Hall (Community Kitchen) and witness how food is made for thousands of pilgrims who arrive daily at this sacred location. This is followed by a trip to Jallianwala Bagh where the infamous massacre took place under the troops of the British Indian Army. Afterwards, visit the only Museum dedicated to the horrific Partition of India in 1947. You will explore the different exhibitions, with both video and photographic displays providing you with the stories behind the events. Expressive paintings depicting these harrowing times are also on display in the museum. Finally, head out to the Wagah Border and visit the historic Grand Trunk Road, the only link between India and Pakistan in 1999. During the ceremony, you will watch the soldiers of India and Pakistan put on a show of sorts, with the lowering of both flags and a handshake between two nations. At the end of the ceremony, you will be dropped back to your hotel.

1. Guide arrived 30min late (without calling to say he would be late) 2. It wasn't a guide, but a driver who spoke no English. 3. After several phone calls, (at one point they said we didn't book a guide but only a driver) and complaints (we got our hotel to speak for us) an English-speaking guide joined us after we had already been to the Golden Temple with our driver. 4. He was a nice guy but not an official guide (no knowledge or training as a guide). It was never clear whether he actually worked with the tour company or was standing in to help a friend. 5. Tour ended ok because the "guide" got us good seats at Wagah Wagah (he was ex-military so flashed his ID everywhere we went to get us to the front of the line) and we did visit all the places listed on the tour.
