Great tour. Pawan changed the tour to suit our needs and took us to great spots for great pictures. We had a wonderful lunch at a scenic lodge with really nice tasting food and was exceptionally inexpensive. We had 2 different soups and butter chicken. The butter chicken tasted different from what we had in a different area of India, like it's own unique flavors and was very very nice! We wished India would debone their chickens before serving them. Great tour with a guide who speaks exceptionally good English and understands the tourist industry very well. Pawan does several different tours, so if temples isn't your thing, or climbing stairs, look at his other offerings! You can't go wrong.

Pawan was an excellent guide and took us to the two temples we wanted to see with good explanations of the Hindu religious background to these places

Absolutely loved it! Pawan was a great, knowledgeable and entertaining guide! If like me you’re not planning on praying or meditating I’d say you’re safe to allow 6 hours for this tour. I can highly recommend Pawan for this tour and more.
