5.00Our guide Mr Sanjay was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of information about Shimla and its history. It was good to get information about buildings etc because without a guide you would not learn about Shimla. Mr Sanjay was at our meeting place as planned and he certainly filled the 3 hours with information and walking.
Has a great tour w Sanjay!

The road is lined with Local shops, cozy cafes, and delightful eateries, offering a mix of local handicrafts and delicious snacks. I enjoyed strolling along the road, taking in the stunning views of the surrounding hills.
