Exceptional Pune Walking Tour with a Brilliant Storyteller as a Guide!

5.00This 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!
Best way to get a sense of what Pune is about

5.00This 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.
Fantastic walk with Dhruv!

5.00Dhruva was a helpful and informative guide with good clear English.The tour covered interesting aspects of a mixture of Pune:history,religion,trade, political and revolutionary background.Informative and enjoyable.( I do not have a smart phone only a simple UK mobile so the initial meet up with the guide was a little tricky-of course not a problem for most people). Overall a very good experience.
Excellent and interesting

5.00Dhruva was fascinating a really interesting guide who had brilliant stories to tell and his English is excellent. We just loved the walking tour. It took in parts of Pune which I had never imagined existed from the historical, political, social to religious. We’re so glad we did the Dhruva’s tour
