    Really interesting!

    Bethany_B, Jan 2026
    It was really beautiful to see the Golden Temple lit up at night and learn all about the history of the temple and the Sikh traditions. Super cool experience!

    Thank you for the super cool review!

    The most amazing guide which had turned it into a real experience

    Fiona_L, Dec 2025
    Guru was one of the best guides I've had. So knowledgeable about the Sikh religion, partly because his dad was a priest himself and so he grew up in the religious environment. He was so infectiously enthusiastic, and was ways trying to get us a good spot to watch the ceremony. We even managed to get into the Golden. Temple after the ceremony. He was going to take me through the kitchen, but because I had visited already and that I was feeling under the weather, we didn't go. Even missing the kitchen part, the tour was already overrun and Guru didn't mind at all. It really helped to have Guru there to explain what's going on in the ceremony. A very kind and generous man he is. Try to get Guru to be your guide. You won't regret it.

    Excellent Guide

    My guide was lovely to spend time with. Sultan Singh is smart, relaxed and very easy to understand. I enjoyed the temple and thought the tour was expensive for India but was worth the money.

    Thank you so much for the kind words mam! We look forward to see you again!

    Majestic and Emotional

    My guide Mr Sultan Singh was fantastic. Smart, friendly and kind. He explained everything about the Temple and provided his own story. He made the tour special. The Temple at night is majestic and emotional, a must see

    Great tour!

    Chander was an excellent tour guide and very kindly showed me around the temple. It is absolutely stunning in the evening and the night ceremony is definitely worth seeing!

    Thanks Anna Mam for your kind words !

    Outstanding! I'm Glad We Went

    John_I, Apr 2024
    Outstanding! I am glad I went! My college-age son and I arrived in Amritsar earlier in the day, and we pre-made this reservation because it started later in the day (at 8:30pm). Our guide, Sultan Singh, met us at our hotel. The drive into the old town was fascinating all by itself. We walked to the Golden Temple compound and watched the ceremony for the putting to bed of the hold book. Sultan took us to a great vantage point. I recommend the tour for any western tourists visiting Amritsar.
