We had a great day exploring the cultural heritage of Pune with a wonderful guide Snehal and driver. She provided fascinating commentary & information throughout the day. The walk through the Tulsi Baug shopping market was great fun & all of the temples were fascinating. The visit to Aga Khan Palace & Ghandi exhibits really provided an historical perspective of the era. We were particularly glad that the company were able to pick us up from our hotel in Talegaon. Lunch at a Thali restaurant was a highlight.

The tour was very well organized. Stops for tea, visits, lunch were well planned. I really appreciated Sanket's explanations on the city of Pune and on all the three sites that we visited, especially the history about Sinhagad Fort. Although we did have fresh air and beautiful views at the two dams, I was quite disappointed by the dams because there was not much to see. Overall, I did enjoy the whole day of visit and highly recommend this tour.

We explored the city of Pune with Five senses tours. It was a great day which began at a famous temple of Elephant God. Our guide Vishal told us about the interesting story behind building of this temple by a sweetmeat maker. We next visited a remarkable museum which gave us a good idea of the heritage of this great city. Vishal brought us to a magnificent but haunted palace! We also visited the Agha khan palace which was outstanding and Vishal told us how it played a great role in the Indian independence movement. Vishal was very knowledgeable and ensured we were well taken care of. It was easily one of the best heritage tours of any city I have ever taken anywhere in the world.
