- sjonesv0 contributionsWonderful way to see PuneMore interesting sites today with Ajit! (I did the car tour yesterday.) Ajit’s history stories of Shaniwar Wada brought it to life and I found myself telling some of the stories to my husband at dinner. The two temples of Ganesha were beautiful. I skipped the tea because I was already hot but I wish I could have tried it. The option to be picked up at the hotel is wonderful and I would do more tours with Ajit and 5 Senses if they had more city tours. Highly recommend this tour.Written 8 February 2024
- 321maxxx0 contributionsLovely, interesting tour of PuneWe had spent a few days in Pune visiting friends but hadn’t had a chance to explore the city and its history. This tour gave us just that- a fascinating insight in the rich culture of Pune, revealing so many hidden gems and stories we never would have seen, found or understood otherwise. Ajit was an amazing guide who fully made the tour our own, allowing us to stay longer at one place or even take a small detour to another spot we came across. His lively, upbeat nature made the tour great fun and he told us many stories and legends to make each spot more memorable. In the end, he helped us get a Rickshaw home - an all-around wonderful experience.Written 9 January 2024

- 799alenak0 contributionsbest temples and places in Pune with a passionate local guidePerfect tour if you want to learn lots about India, history, religion, traditions with a certified, knowledgable and passionate about Pune local guide. Ajit was fantastic, we managed to see so much in such a short time (as we only had half a day on our business trip) - temples, fort, house, bazaar... Ajit knew answers about everything we asked - food, festivals, history, mythology, etc. Go in the morning when there is no tourists yet.Written 6 August 2023

We explored the city of Pune with Five senses tours. It was a great day which began at a famous temple of Elephant God. Our guide Vishal told us about the interesting story behind building of this temple by a sweetmeat maker. We next visited a remarkable museum which gave us a good idea of the heritage of this great city. Vishal brought us to a magnificent but haunted palace! We also visited the Agha khan palace which was outstanding and Vishal told us how it played a great role in the Indian independence movement. Vishal was very knowledgeable and ensured we were well taken care of. It was easily one of the best heritage tours of any city I have ever taken anywhere in the world.

Pune city tour is a excellent one where we had a professional guide taking us to magnificent palaces, museums and ensuring a rich cultural experience. We visited Shaniwarwada the main palace and listened to the fascinating stories behind it. Agha Khan Palace was amazing as well as very insightful. The guide was brilliant and he made the visits to Darshan and Kelkar museums very enriching. We enjoyed the local lunch as well. Transport arrangements were impeccable and covid protocols were followed to the tee. I would suggest this tour to all visiting Pune and wanting to know more about the city,

Five senses tours did an awesome job of the Pune city tour. In just over 6 hours we saw the best things Pune had to offer. There was history, culture, fun and food. The Shaniwarwada Palace was an intriguing place with fascinating legends. We also enjoyed a quirky temple of Elephant god. The lunch organised was delicious and we could experience the local food of Pune. The whole tour was managed in clockwork precision and at the same time we met we had an enriching experience of the city, its customs and the people.

My tour of Pune was excellent. My guide was knowledgeable, spoke good English, and answered my many questions about the history, culture, religion, and people of India. The locations of the tour were ideal and places that I could never have found or understood on my own. My driver and tour guide were polite and attentive and I felt safe navigating the markets and backstreets of Pune, places that I would not have ventured into by myself. The lunch was at a traditional family-style Indian restaurant frequented by many Indian families. The waiter continuously brought food and I experienced the great foods of India. I would highly recommend this tour.

We loved that the tour had a very relaxed pace. Our tour facilitator Ajit was super nice and welcoming.
During the tour we learned great amount about Pune coty and it’s history. Ajit has a clear passion for history and we enjoyed listening to the stories and explanations about the architecture, history, traditions, people and religion.
The lunch we had during the tour was also a pleasent experience. Ajit kindly explained to us the foods and how to eat them. The food was excellent and very filling.
All in all we enjoyed the tour to the fullest and would recommend to take this tour to get more familiar with Pune.

It’s my first time ever in Pune and we are so glad we picked the right service. Eventhough we had to cut short due to some personal unexpected event, our tour guide tried to organized and took us to 5 different locations and still managed to have lunch so it felt worth the money we spent. Nice clean car, polite friendly experienced tour guide, lots of information and delicious food ☺️

Must do well rounded trip in Pune!
With our guide Ajit, we went to multiple places with very thorough learning of Pune historical importance in Freedom struggle and in social education aspect in India. We also visited many temples, including Pataleshwar Cave Temple which is my favorite one by far. We ended the day with lunch and Aga Khan palace before heading home.
Happy for spending whole day with this program and company!

Ajit was a wonderful tour guide. I enjoyed all of the stops we made and appreciated that some of them were lesser known so I truly got to see sights I wouldn’t have found on my own. Ajit knows so much about the history of Pune and stories of the gods. Lunch was also absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this tour and Ajit.
