We booked a Holiday package from this agency. It was fantastic tour and very reasonable price of our six day tour to Chandigarh to Dharamshala, Dalhousie, Amritsar and drop back to Chandigarh. Driver Karan was very good fellow. Our Amritsar day tour was good. They showed us Golden Temple, Jallianwala Bagh, Warmemorial and Wagha border retreat ceremony.
The whole temple area is an amazing place. It is beautiful by day and by night. You can visit whenever you like. There are booths to safely leave your shoes. They provide free drinking water.
Great tour with knowledgeable guide Pritesh. The tour was completed in English and punjabi for the elders. He took it at a slower pace and was very flexible
Hardi was a kind, considerate and illuminating tour guide that clearly knows and loves his city. The perfect guide!

Our guide Narinder was excellent He was very knowledgeable and knew our wants and needs. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Amritsar
Such an awesome guide!! Narinder took me to the Wagah border one day and then a full morning of the golden temple a few days later. He has a real passion for sharing local history, he is super helpful and absolutely reliable. I highly recommend!
The whole tour was nothing short of perfect. Our guide Sam was very knowledgeable and friendly she took great care of us and showed us some hidden places inside the temple itself. Our time spent on the farm was very relaxing and a much need break during a long hot day.

Hire a GuideWhy combining a guided tour helps contextualize the 1919 massacre.Read Jallianwala Bagh is famous as a national memorial. It commemorates the tragic massacre of unarmed Indian civilians by British troops on April 13, 1919. It stands as a profound reminder of India's freedom struggle.
The massacre took place on April 13, 1919. This date coincided with the popular Punjabi festival of Baisakhi.
British Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer ordered his troops to open fire. They shot directly into the peaceful gathering of unarmed civilians.
The exact number remains debated, but hundreds died. Official estimates state that over 1,000 people were injured when troops fired approximately 1,650 rounds.
Entry to the Jallianwala Bagh historic memorial is entirely free of charge for all visitors. See Tickets to book optional guided walking tours.
The memorial is very close to the temple. It is a simple 5-minute pedestrian walk along the heritage walkway just outside the complex.
