A very interesting insight into Pune history and culture. Dhruv was excellent, very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about his job. Happy to answer any questions, kept the tour engaging and what a pleasure to walk through the streets of the old city.

Wonderful experience. Dhruv obviously knows his city and loves sharing it. He was knowledgeable, provided interesting, entertaining details, showed me side streets, pointed out interesting architectural details, shared historical facts and made the experience worthwhile and left me wanting to come back for more.

Awesome experience with Dhruv!! He gave very detailed sharing of Pune’s local history and gave lots of fascinating facts about the different landmarks along the way. Even had a few stops for yummy local snacks! Truly a must do when visiting Pune!

Dhruva was a helpful and informative guide with good clear English.The tour covered interesting aspects of a mixture of Pune:history,religion,trade, political and revolutionary background.Informative and enjoyable.( I do not have a smart phone only a simple UK mobile so the initial meet up with the guide was a little tricky-of course not a problem for most people). Overall a very good experience.

My tour with Dhruv was one of the highlights of my time in Pune. He has a knack to make the city come alive with his extensive knowledge of the local, regional and national history. As a student of history myself, Dhruv was a joy to talk to and I highly recommend anyone visiting Pune for the first time to join him on a tour to ground themselves in the context of city, you will not be disappointed!

Dhruv was a wonderful guide and host. He customized the tour as per my preferences. He had good knowledge of the Tour. Very friendly. I wanted his guidance to buy some gifts for friends, he happily volunteered to go along. I will totally recommend this tour with Dhruv. I think it is the best walking tour, one can get in Pune.

Dhruv is an excellent guide. He was extremely enthusiastic about showing us all the places on the walk and had so many knowledge bits to share with us about the history and culture of the place. His warm demeanour and excellent communication skills make the experience so pleasant. I loved every bit of the walk guided by Dhruv and I certainly recommend it for everyone wanting to explore the old city & its culture

I had an excellent tour with Dhruv. He was very thorough in his explanations of the places that we visited and he explained many details that I otherwise would not have known. Also, I saw many great sites during the tour and I never felt rushed since we were able to stay long enough at each location so that I could get pictures and understand the significance of what we were seeing. Thank you, Dhruv!

Dhruv ist ein netter und humorvoller Mann, der die Geschichte und Gegenwart Punes sehr gut vermitteln kann. Ich kann diese Tour nur empfehlen.
