Top Pune Walking Tours

The epicenter of India’s independence and freedom movements, Pune is full of globally significant history that’s not always apparent to independent travelers. With this private, full-day tour, explore the city heritage with a guide, learning about the country’s freedom movements of the 19th and 20th centuries. Visit sites where key historical events unfolded, including the palace where Mahatma Gandhi was imprisoned, the Kesariwada heritage house, and the Mahatma Phule Museum, dedicated to the social reformer of the 19th century.

Most Old Pune walks tick off the same landmarks and end at a generic snack stall. Ours doesn't. You'll taste a modak — Lord Ganesh's mythological favourite sweet — at the foot of Dagdusheth Halwai temple, eaten where it actually belongs. You'll step inside Bhausaheb Rangari Bhawan, the quiet lane where India's public Ganesh festival began in 1892 — a piece of national history almost no other tour shows you. You'll try a mastani at Gujjar Mastani, one of the original houses of the dessert Pune invented. Your guide is Pune-born, not flown in from elsewhere. Small group, never more than 8 — so the lanes feel like a local showing you their city, not a tour bus making a stop.
