The 10 Best Cultural Tours in Amritsar, Punjab

March 15, 2022 Matilde Konrad

Amritsar is a major commercial and cultural centre in the heart of Punjab. The city is the spiritual and cultural center of the Sikh religion and is home to the Harmandir Sahib, also known as the Golden Temple. Respectfully marvel at the Indian and Pakistani soldiers who march-off nightly at the Wagha Border, and at the Jallian Wala Bagh the site of the 1919 Amritsar Massacre in 1919.

Hi Sharma ji, I had planned this trip to make my first marriage anniversary memorable. Have made all bookings and waiting from more than 2 months. Because of drastic increase in covid cases in Delhi during divali and formers protest I was in big tension and in confusion whether to travell or not. It was at high risk and not sure about anything till the last minute. But starting from when I book the cab to last hour of our onboard to trip you made it flawless without small error. We were safe And didn’t face single issue throughout the trip. Our driver Dharmendra Sharma was very cool and Happy person. He took care of us a lot and he was very friendly and gave many suggestions while visiting monuments. His driving is awesome. I have reached Delhi Airport back with so much of Satisfaction and Happiness. Thank you so much for your wonderful service I will cherish this forever. Keep up the good work and will refer my many friends here. I am taking many memories from here!! And a big Thanks you!!!

Our Honeymoon was so much more than we imagined. Quite nicely coordinated & planned. The driver was too polite and helped us to show all the scenic beuty of Kerala and made us buy good quality spices from Munnar. Our first stay was at Hotel CGH Merari. Even in the corona times, we had a very warm welcome at the hotel. The property was great. They had yoga, spa, butterfly garden private pool and what not. The food was superb. The other stay was in Munnar; Parakat Nature Resort. We had a premium room which had a 360 degree nature view and the food above all was too affordable and delicious too. We had a trek of 10kms arranged in Munnar showcasing all the tea plantation. The beauty was just mesmerizing. In the evening we thought of getting the Ayurvedic Massage. This was just icing on the cake. Also had the saffari tour, which showed approximately 5-6 main attractive points in Kerala. Overall the trip couldn't have been any better. It was a hassle free honeymoon tour. I would like to congratulate Bout India for customising the trip according to our wish, selecting the best hotels. They kept checking over call if we are enjoying the trip, we need anything else or not. That person touch they gave just filled my heart woth gratitude for them. I would 100 % recommend Bout India . Thanks to all for your wonderful support. Looking forward for future trips ????

The entire surrounding area of Golden Temple Complex starting from its approaching roads is clean and tidy and the people visiting the Temple are well guided throughout its entry and exit. There are more than adequate facilities for keeping luggage, footwear, washing hands, etc.that there is no pushing or pulling of people at any place. The people are very much disciplined, pious, helpful, and understand the difficulties faced by children, senior citizens, and differently-abled persons. Though most of the instructions are written in Punjabi script the announcements are made in Hindi and as such, no problem is faced by nonPunjabi understanding people. The atmosphere is serene, quiet, religious, brotherhoodly, and totally of PEACE and BLISS.

We started at Amritsar and had a 4 day tour and stayed in Dharamshala- Jawalamukhi. Anandpur Sahib and visited many places in between. First of all the price was honest, no hidden costs. And since we decided to visit an extra temple which wasn’t planned neither on the route, the cost were communicated before so no surprises at the end. The thing I always appreciate the most is the flexibility. During the journey it got really dark and there was heavy rainfall even roads flooded. So we decided to stay where we were at that time, which wasn’t planned. So i always suggest not to pay for hotels on forhand but just make a reservation. Looking for a good hotel went smooth and our driver, who was actually the owner (jasbir singh ), was extremely helpfull. Actually within a few moments he became a true friend. He made our journey so pleasant! Because he didn’t solely drove us to our destination but also guided us to interesting places. Told us historical facts. Brought us to hidden gems like Haveli. And even let us try the best streetfood! We have been to India several times and had many drivers, but this journey was the most wonderfull by far!
