View on Google MapsWonderful experience. Dhruv obviously knows his city and loves sharing it. He was knowledgeable, provided interesting, entertaining details, showed me side streets, pointed out interesting architectural details, shared historical facts and made the experience worthwhile and left me wanting to come back for more.
This was such a spectacular experience for me. I was lucky that the others who had signed up for the tour didn't show up, so I got a personalized experience. Koustubh, my guide, was so fantastic. We discussed what had brought me to Pune at the start and he tailored the tour to my particular interests. It was a great mix of history, stories, and contemporary information mixed together. Koustubh took me to restaurants and tea shops specific to my interests as well as historical monuments that I wouldn't have known to visit. I got to know Pune in a much more intimate way than if I had visited these places on my own without the rich background and personalized guidance.

A wonderful historical and cultural journey through Pune and a period of Indian history. The guide was very helpful and made the buildings come alive.
Excellent experience with Dhruv, I am from Pune and wanted to take a touring friend through the history and important sights of Pune. It was a great experience to be a tourist in my hometown, learnt some new things and my friend had a great time learning about the city. Dhruv is very knowledgeable and has a calm and nice way of explaining. Most recommended.
This walking tour of Pune was an unforgettable experience, largely thanks to the incredibly knowledgeable guide. Dhruva was very well informed and is a well versed narrator, who is easy to listen to. I am no native speaker, but could easily understand his explanations, thanks to his flawless English, to get the most out of the guided walking tour. He was super patient and took extra time to answer all my questions. He made the tour go far beyond what I expected. You can feel his passion for Pune in the way he talks and how he connects the political, the social and the religious history of the city into a captive story, that makes the time fly by. From his interactions with people along the tour, such as museum guides or temple attendants and pujaris, you can get a feel that is well known and respected. Some practical tips: Bring shoes you are comfortable to walk in and you can easily take off, for the temples. There are options along the way to have a small bite, but only if you want to and feel comfortable to do. Else, just let the guide know and you can simply skip ( e.g. if you don't trust your European stomach yet). I had the 4pm slot and the evening sun painted Shaniwar Wada in a nice, warm light. Good time for taking pictures. The meeting point is inside the main gate, in front of the door of Shaniwar Wada. All in all 10/10, highly recommended!
I had an amazing time, getting to see old Pune with Dhruva. He is both very knowledgeable and understands how to convey the history of the town in a greater historical context as well as in local terms. It was easily one of the most interesting and engaging guided tours I've ever had anywhere, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Thank you so much!
I recommand this tour to discover the history of Pune and the sacred places. Dhruv have been an excellent guide full of knowledge and very helpfull aswell to recommand places.
This is an enlightening walk that touches upon key aspects of Pune's journey through time. Dhruv is engaging, knowledgable and curious. He listens carefully, is humble about the limits of his own knowledge and take his time to explain. Highly recommended activity for anyone who is curious about why Pune came to be the way it is and how the character of the city has endured, even as it has expanded exponentially in the recent past.
Awesome experience with Dhruv!! He gave very detailed sharing of Pune’s local history and gave lots of fascinating facts about the different landmarks along the way. Even had a few stops for yummy local snacks! Truly a must do when visiting Pune!
Excellent walking tour of Pune’s old city with an excellent guide despite the heat. Worth doing to orient yourself spatially and historically in Pune
