I had a fantastic day — a clear five-star experience. Our guide Sachinn was warm, knowledgeable, and passionate, blending history and local stories that kept the group engaged. The fort was a highlight (the guide even described the British cannon salutes when they captured it), and we visited authentic spots off the usual tourist path.
Food was a treat — the homemade thali and pakoda felt genuinely local. Sachinn handled logistics smoothly, took photos for the group, and shared useful tips on local customs.
Why go: This tour offers history, culture, great food, and friendly service — perfect for first-time visitors wanting more than typical tourist stops.
Tip: Wear comfortable shoes and bring water — and try the local snacks. Five stars — highly recommended.

A very enjoyable tour. I wanted some time away from the city's hustle and bustle and I got what I wanted. Dhruv was amazing as guide because he not only knew all the stories related to the place, but was also full of tips for where to go in Pune after the trip. I also liked his flexibility and the fact that I could have intelligent conversations with him on any subject.
About the trip itself: the fort is a short walk from the parking spot, and once up there it is up to you how adventurous you feel and where you want to go for extra viewpoints. I visited in the off season - there seems to be more beauty during monsoon season - but also more crowds.
For me, the stop at the lake didn't add anything and could have been taken out. But as always, opinions are highly personal, others might love the stop. It was short enough and Dhruv had enough stories to make me not mind.
A memorable trip.

Start early. Great guide and transport. Learn about history of Sinhagad fort and Maratha warriors. Panoramic views.

Even though the trip didn't go as it was planned at the beginning, we ended up having a wonderful experience that exceeded our expectations. And we learned a lot from our excellent tour guide. Don't get discouraged if life would change your plans. Thank you for this unforgettable experience.

The tour operator didn't show up, I didn't go on the tour and it takes up to 2 days to process the refund.

This was a great tour! Our guide Atharva was the perfect amount of friendly & knowledgeable. He did not overload us with a ton of talking and had interesting stories at the landmarks in the fort. He also had extensive bird & reptile knowledge. We saw a bunch of pretty birds, a skink, monkeys and a snake.
The walk around the fort was pleasant on a Wednesday between 9-12. It was not too hot or crowded but it started to get pretty busy when we headed out. It was hazy out but the views were still great.
We had a nice light meal that he described as yellow pudding ( can't remember the name) and it was delicious!
It's crazy how intact the fort is, but with that said it's old so if you have mobility issues this could be challenging. Be prepared to do a few stairs.

This is a must for foreigners to get into the fort (hassle free entry). See the information the guide has to share as a bonus.
Remember enough water, sunscreen and snacks. Local lunch is a no-no for foreigners.
Worthwhile experience and do it early in the morning!

An excellent tour, made so interesting by our guide Sachinn and driver Suraj who were so helpful and informative. Amazing views, definitely exceeded our expectations.
