Guide with an excellent knowledge of history in general especially about Islam. Plus he was a nice guy enjoying life and the food. So we had a lot of fun.

Mr. Shah was an amazing tour guide, being sure to explain each temple thoroughly and the significance of the details and history of each attraction. The driver was prompt and very friendly making the whole experience pleasant and feeling secured. I highly recommend the tour to anyone who is interested in learning more about the local religions, temples, and attractions in the Ahmedabad area.

Highlights

  • Visit the grand Akshardham Temple dedicated to Lord Swaminarayana
  • Feel impressed by the splendid Akshardham Temple's architecture
  • See the remarkable finely-carved lattice stone window in Sidi Saiyyed Mosque
  • Visit the famous Hutheesing Jain Temple dedicated to Dharmanantha
  • See the surprising phenomena of Adalaj Step Well

Full description

After 9:00 AM hotel pick-up, visit the Akshardham Temple (Temple closed on every Monday), dedicated to Lord Swaminaraya. See its impressive intricately carved stone and manicured gardens. Explore the five separate halls with over 200 idols of Hindu Gods, and the exhibition hall with displays reflecting central ideas of Hindu culture and values.

Next, head to Sidi Saiyyed Mosque and marvel at its arc-shaped architecture. See the beautiful artwork in the mosque, including the Tree of Life, and the lattice stone window, adopted by the reputed Indian Institute of Ahmedabad.

Take a break and savor lunch at a local restaurant. Continue to Hutheesing Jain Temple on the banks of Sabarmati River. The ashram was home of Mahatma Gandhi for 12 years and served as headquarters during the struggle for Indian independence. 

Finally, visit Adalaj Step Well, seven stories deep built by Rana Veer Singh. Proceed downstairs and feel the cool atmosphere, before you head back to your hotel.

Anant was a pure joy as a tour guide. The pride he had for his hometown and for Gujarat overall was evident in his enthusiasm and the wealth of knowledge that he shared. He delivered information about the temples and stepwells in such an entertaining way that you never felt as though you were on the receiving end of a lecture. Anant added a few impromptu stops along the way that really added to the color of our experience. We also never felt rushed. He let us take our time to absorb the sights, sounds, and information, while still hitting all the places and more. I highly recommend this tour. Ask for Anant!
