Fantastic tour

Hilary_H, Mar 2025
Brilliant experience seeing the flag lowering ceremony made even better by our wonderful guide Ravish Mehra. Ravish was really knowledgeable about everywhere we passed en route to the Border and was genuinely concerned to ensure we had a great experience. He was flexible and went out of his way for us

Hello Frank and Hillary, Thank you so much for sharing this 5-star review! It’s so great to hear you loved the tour as much as we loved hosting you. I’ll be sure to share your kind words with the team, and we hope to see you again soon.

Where else could you experience something like this.

RussellH, Mar 2025
This activity is a must do when staying in Amritsar. Travelling in your own car, with a very knowledgeable and passionate driver is certainly the way to go. He led us through the ins and outs of proceeding into the stadium and was there ready when proceedings finished to take us back to Amritsar. The 'performance' leading up to the flag lowering and closing of the gates shows lots of tradition and choreography. One must see the 'show', as it is very difficult to describe.

Excellent tour of the Wagah Border

Sarabjit_L, Aug 2024
This was a family tour with 11 people. The temp traveller mini bus arrived at the hotel on time. It was a clean and tidy. There was water provided through the trip which was very welcome as it was a really hot day. The tour guide Amrik was very good and was knowledge about the history of Amritsar and the various sights that we passed on the way to the border. Amrik was good at keeping the group together and making sure we knew exactly where we were going as it was very busy at the border. We all felt very safe knowing that Amrik was with us. The border ceremony was amazing. The atmosphere was electric and everyone had a really enjoyable time. I would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a Wagah Border tour.

Great experience, destinations, tour guide

PavandeepSingh, Mar 2024
Our guide was Shamsher Singh, who was fantastic. He made the trip very easy and informative. We were collected from our hotel near the airport and returned in a timely manner. Attending the Wagah border was an amazing experience and will be a memory I do not forget! Shamsher was able to switch between English and Panjabi which was very helpful for me (who is mainly an English speaker) and my Grandmother (who is a Panjabi speaker). We were able to take many photos on the way and at the border - we had an easy time getting in. Would 100% recommend.

Amrik Singh is a fantastic guide! He is really helpful and knowledgeable. I truly recommend using this tour than taking taxis, because he told us very important tips of visiting the ceremony. The car was very clean too.

Hugely overpriced and very poor value for money

Anuradha_R, Oct 2023
While the guide and driver were both very good and did their best to make it a good experience, the trip is hugely over priced. They’re charging more than 3000₹ per person . So we actually paid more than 9000₹ for 3 persons. Since the Waga border event itself is free we basically paid this amount for transportation. If we had hired a car on our own for the 3 of us, we’d have paid a max of ₹3000 . We definitely felt like we have been completely cheated

Response from Host, Oct 2023

This is the way

Laurence_H, Oct 2023
Amrik was considerate, respectful, knowledgeable and saw the day trip through even after the ceremony with the difficult return traffic to hotel due to major holiday. He even had a calm but still effective driving style I had yet to see in this country.

Excellent experience.

Martin_D, Dec 2025
It's a unique sight waiting for you at this border fence ceremony. It is a little difficult to access and thanks to our guide and driver we were directed to enjoy the show worry-free and 100%. Lots of atmosphere and very entertaining. There are beverage and snack vendors on site. Be careful to follow the restrictions (no powerpack or wires etc.) Bring your passport if you are not Indian. I recommend this experience.
