Maharashtra Travel Guides (Updated October 2026)

I had a great time on this walking tour of Pune. The guide was super friendly and very knowledgeable, and it felt easy to ask questions along the way. He shared lots of interesting information without it ever feeling overwhelming.The walk was just over two hours, which was the perfect length—not too long and not rushed at all. What I really liked was that he went at my pace and never hurried me along, which made the whole experience really relaxed and enjoyable.Overall, it was a great all-round experience and a fun way to explore the city on foot. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone.

Our Guide Dhruw is excelente. He is pretty much prepared, provides a lot of context to understand the culture. We really enjoy the tour.

Had a great walking tour with Koustubh who was very communicative before the tour and very knowledgeable, entertaining and kind during the tour. He especially made an effort to make the tour enjoyable for our 8 and 11 year olds who loved the tour. Thanks Koustubh!

Very nice walk. My tourguide Dhruv knows al lot about the history of Pune. So if you are interested in the story behind the buildings ask for him. Because of the heat he took some time to sit and have a short break. That was very good as we are not used to walk with these temperatures. So for me it was a good tour!

Fun couple of hours walking around old Pune (we had to shorten the tour slightly, our fault!). Guide was relaxed and flexible about route and timing, which was good as we happened to be there on a very busy religious festival Saturday! One small suggestion, more historical information would have been nice. Guide Aakash was lovely helping us negotiate with sellers and taking an interest. A bit more depth would make this tour perfect.

Excellent tour with Sanket, he shared a lot of stories about Pune and India, and took us to the main temples and markets in Pune. Although the streets were crowded, we managed our way to the side streets less crowded and in the shadows. We also tried local delicacies and sweets, and Sanket was great helping us with our shopping. We can only recommend this great tour with him.

Gladly again, motivated and knowledgeable guide through the old town. Has responded to individually questions and was at home in all areas. Toll

Rich in culture and history, Pune's local markets and temples are fascinating. The tour offers a deeper look into Maharashtrian life.

I had a fantastic experience on the Pune Walking Tour with a local Punekar! Despite it being Republic Day and the area being quite crowded, our guide expertly navigated us through the bustling streets and made the tour enjoyable. Unfortunately, we couldn't enter the palace due to the high number of visitors, but thanks to our guide's deep knowledge and connections, we were able to access other temples and historical buildings even outside of regular hours. The food experience was another highlight – tasting local delicacies and exploring the vibrant market was both fun and insightful. The guide’s passion for Pune’s history and culture truly made the tour special. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to explore Pune from a local’s perspective!

Very nice tour and great guide! We had only one day of free time in Pune and had thia great chance to visit famous places in half day tour. I recommend it!

The hotel is well laid out and the pool is nice and clean. Although it is winter I was able to swim in it, and the gym attendant, whose name I did not, unfortunately, note down, sat by the pool the whole time, since no one else was in the pool. has very good service. By way of room service, Varad, Atharv, Tanushka and Sanket have made me feel like a celebrity. Since I am in the Celebrity Suite, I feel the hotel has lived upto its name and to its claim.

I had a great experience walking tour in the old town Pune with a polite and amicable local guide Mr. Aakash. Big thanks for having me

Highly recommend this tour. Sanket our guide was knowledgeable and helpful, his English was excellent and his explanations were great. We learnt loads.

We had an excellent tour with our guide Sanket. Sanket did an excellent job in giving history of the city and landmarks. The combination of the historic forts, temples and markets provided an insight into Pune past and present. Sanket was a wonderful guide and I would higly recommend him for your tours

I went on a walking tour with my mom and our guide Aakash was helpful and patient while walking us through old Pune. We had a great time!

I enjoyed the walking tour! Sanket was a great tour guide. He had lots to share about the history and modern day Pune. The old city is very challenging to navigate by oneself. Sanket made it great!
