I had a very special 5 hours with my Guide Ajit and his Driver. Very comfortable and safe with communication very good at all stages. Ajit was passionate about his tour topic which was the history of the Indian Independence movement in Pune. Time was allowed at each site for in-depth discussion and walk arounds. The tour finished at a local Indian restaurant serving Maharashtra food which was delicious. Informative, relaxed and very worthwhile.
