This was the perfect way to spend our first day in Delhi. Our group (my parents, two cousins, and I) were picked up easily from the airport by an extremely professional team of drivers and our tour guide, Pankaj, all of whom were jovial, fun, and knowledgeable. From the beginning, everything felt seamless and well organized.
Our visit to Akshardham Temple was magical. It is an absolutely beautiful place, and the intricate carvings are truly mesmerizing. Pankaj shared so much knowledge while keeping us entertained throughout the visit. Afterwards, the team helped us find a lovely spot for a quick but delicious lunch before taking us to the train station for our journey to Agra.
Thank you so much to Pankaj and the entire team! My family had a wonderful time meeting you and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

A truly wonderful experience. Our driver and guide collected us at 5pm and escorted us to the venue. Our guide told us all about the history and made sure that we was allowed to be seated ready for the light and water show started, before anyone else was allowed to enter.
Don't miss this and our driver and guide where amazing.

What an excellent afternoon and evening of culture and history. Our excellent driver Prem and our very knowledgeable tour guide Manooj made this experience truly memorable. Don’t just turn up, book a guide and everything will be explained in detail. Thank you Manooj

We booked our excursions for 4:00pm as it was evening but were picked up around 3:15, due to possible traffic. Our guide was Pankaj. Got to see Gandhi memorial first, which was very peaceful and very touching…seeing his life and last days spent at the house were very eye opening. Many great writings around the house that belonged to Gandhi that make you reflect on today’s world. Next we went to the temple, but be aware you cannot take any electronics (chargers, phones, eye watches, etc), so you won’t be able to capture photos. We were able to leave our things with the car driver so we didn’t have to spend time inside dealing with it. But honestly it’s better to be present in the moment. Pankaj was very informative through the tour and made sure we got to experience everything in the tour package. The light show at the end was beautiful and Pankaj was helpful in explaining the storyline as it was in Hindi. Pankaj was very helpful in making sure we understood the story. The only thing I would recommend is doing a later tour time. Even 3/4pm is too early. We did get to see the temple at night as we were leaving, but it probably would have been beautiful to see it fully lit up during the entire duration, the only thing is the fountain show would be late around 9:15pm…Seeing the temple during the day was beautiful and seeing it lit up after the show was great too. Would recommend this half day tour for sure. Maybe aim for a weekday as it gets busy on Sundays when we went.

Fun evening tour with a great guide and driver.
We visited the Ghandi museum and then the Akshardham Temple.
Pankaj could be a tour guide himself, as he went out of his way to point out sights along our driving route .
You can feel safe with the driver waiting and keeping all electronic equipment in the car while you are there.
Prakash knew the temple very well and we had a seamless time at the light show, gallery hall exhibits and the temple (his timing was impeccable).
We had a perfect evening at the Akshardham temple thanks to our knowledgable guide Prakash Sharma.
Excellent from start to finish!

Fun evening tour with a great guide and driver. The temple being fairly new is quite interesting and shows quite a bit of the past history of the area. The light and water show is well done and the guide explains what’s going on as it’s not in English

We had a perfect evening at the Akshardham temple thanks to our highly knowledgable guide Adin and our driver Pankaj. Both Pankaj and Adin were flexible, knowledgable and excellent with communication regarding the evening. Pankaj could be a tour guide himself, as he went out of his way to point out sights along our driving route and answer questions we had regarding the area. Adin knew the temple inside and out, and we had a seamless time at the light show, gallery hall exhibits and the temple (his timing was impeccable). Excellent from start to finish!

I loved this tour. We had a thoughtful and knowledgeable tour guide named Manoj Ahirwar and he made the experience memorable. The intricate details of the grounds and the temple is amazing. The water and light show is one the best I have ever seen. Extremely creative.
Just Be aware that they do not let you bring in any electronics, backpacks into the gates and to enter the temple “ no shoes allowed”.

Kuldeep our tour guide and our driver Pankaj Kumar were excellent! We had such an amazing experience with both. They went out of their way to make sure we had the best experience and accommodated with whatever we wanted to see and experience. They both thoroughly took their time to make sure we saw all the important parts of the tour and explained it so well. They were great company and we learned a lot from them. Highly recommend!!

We have heard about this place many times but being in person was something else. The team supporting us were incredible and assisted us with every details. Highly recommended to liaise with Hemant and Pankaj, kind human being with warm hospitality. Thank you for making this possible for my parents visiting India for the first time.

It’s clear that Pankaj and Pankaj are very experienced from the way they pointed out interesting sights and were able to provide a lot of historical depth and context to what we saw. They were extremely professional, and this was a great way to spend our afternoon; would definitely recommend for your visit to Delhi!

Strongly recommend you do this with a guide rather than solo! My guide Mayank not only provided a safe place for electronics (no phones/iWatches, cameras, etc allowed inside), gave the benefit of his experience (best place to sit on boat = mid-front but not first row, best seats for water show = front, not sides), and told good stories (how did Ganesh get an elephant head? Why is this temple in Guiness Book of World Records?). Temple is very much focused on Swami founder and all things Invented by India, but still fun

Beautiful temple and awesome water/light show. Had a blast visiting thee biggest Hindu temple in the world, even if photos aren't allowed. Mayan was a great tour guide who taught me a lot about the temple and the Hindu religion. Panama was a great driver too.

Very beautiful temple complex with many fun activities! Pankaj was our driver. He was a safe driver and gave us some fun facts about Delhi. Mayak was our guide - he gave us lots of good information and was very friendly.

Must do! This my favourite tour I’ve done while in Delhi. Micky was our guide and he was so lovely, even helped us not slip over in the rain!!! He translated everything and told us the story of the light show. He taught us a lot and nothing was too much trouble! Thank you Micky and our lovely driver Pankaj!

We booked both driver and guide for Akshardham. The guide was knowledgeable and pleasant and the driver as well. You can be content with the driver waiting and keeping all electronic equipment in the car while you are there. It is possible to find around yourself.
