          Would recommend!
          Our tour guide, Artharva, was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly. We booked an early time to avoid the afternoon heat. Everyone in our group enjoyed the experience and the sights were beautiful.

          Amazing Tour!
          Amazing tour… Sachinn was a terrific guide and really brought the history of Pune to life with the stops along the tour. The tour was well designed and paced for comfort breaks and snacks. Thank you so much Sachinn! 🙌

          Great site, easy walk and good food. The tour guide complemented with lots of interesting stories. Better to start in the morning when temperature is still low.

          Stunning views
          The tour guide Sachinn was amazing. He was very thoughtful and made alternative routes to accommodate the fact that some of our party had a fear of heights. He was very knowledgeable and even arranged for the food to be amended as there were a few food intolerances within the party. The views were stunning and the trip was made all the more enjoyable by the guide.

          Great guide - Sachinn - Great tour!
          Our guide, Sachinn, was brilliant! We really enjoyed our intrepid trip to Singahad Ford. Sachinn's knowledge was extensive and the history he shared was fascinating. The food provided on the tour was absolutely delicious... lovely to sit and eat together. The car was aircondioned and comfortable. And the tour was thoroughly enjoyable. Highly recommend!

          Excellent tour incorporating history, nature and fantastic views
          Excellent tour incorporating history, nature and fantastic views - would highly recommend. Atharva was a great guide with excellent knowledge on the history of the fort. He was also good at identifying the local birds which as a birder I appreciated. If taking this tour I would recommend the early 6 am start from Pune so you can enjoy the sunrise at the fort.

          Fantastic tour and guide
          While I thought I knew something about Indian history I was totally unaware that MK Gandhi was imprisoned in the Aga Khan Palace in Pune and his wife and assistant died in custody. Also Shivaji grew up in Pune and there are tons of interesting temples including a fascinating cave temple. Many thanks to Atharva who is an excellent guide and ensured that I did not get run over!

          Great Pune Heritage tour
          We had a super tour walking around heritage points in Pune with Sachin and Suraj. Sachin is very knowledgable and a great story teller and also very patient in showing us the sights. We had a very enjoyable experience. And Suraj was great in driving us around and also sharing homemade goodies. Strongly recommend.

          Great tour. Really worth it.
          Took this tour on the last day of our business trip in Pune. Sachinn, our tour guide contacted me one day early to confirm pick up location and sent us notes. The whole tour is very good. I learned so much and saw so much in 4 hours! Great tour and highly recommended.

          Perfect Pune tour
          Yo Tours, led by Sachin, provided an exceptional private Pune tour. The itinerary was well-paced, perfect for elderly travelers, and included seamless transport arrangements. Sachin’s clear communication and deep historical knowledge added great value to the experience, making each site visit engaging and informative. The highlight was the opportunity to savor authentic local cuisine, thoughtfully incorporated into the tour. Everything was meticulously planned, leaving no room for hassle. Highly recommend this tour for a comfortable and enriching Pune experience!

          Interesting tour of Pune city centre
          Overall, the tour was a good experience. We had to wait 30 minutes for the driver to arrive for pickup at our hotel, but communication with the company was great. Our guide, Atharva, was friendly and knowledgeable. We would not have been able to do this kind of tour on our own!

          Excellent tour of Pune
          I’m usually not one for tours and prefer exploring on my own, but I’m so glad I decided to do this one! I booked a half-day tour of Pune with Sachinn, and it was an incredible experience. Booking was super easy, even at the last minute—I booked just the day before. Sachinn picked me up from my hotel and explained the plan for the day. The car and driver were excellent, making the whole experience smooth and comfortable. We started in Pune's Old Town with a visit to a smaller temple and a walk through the bustling food market. Sachinn even taught me how to cross the street—no small feat with all the chaos, but somehow it all works perfectly well! We enjoyed a delicious snack from a street food vendor before continuing to explore more temples, a palace, a museum, and several markets. The highlight was ending the day at the grand palace—it absolutely took my breath away! Sachinn’s deep knowledge of the local culture, history, and spirituality added so much depth to the experience. Having someone local to guide me and explain everything made all the difference. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Pune. Ask for Sachinn—he’s fantastic and will make your visit truly memorable!

        Myself and wife were in a trip to mahabaleshwar. Travelled by flight till Pune then by road. It was my first experience in Maharashtra. People don't respond when you speak in Hindi or English not because they don't know the language. Buses are very less in frequency and taxis ask a lot. Then I asked sn agent who told me about return taxis from pune to Mahabaleshwar. He arranged one for me it was for less than half the charge. Then I asked one Panditji who was traveling to one of the ashrams in mahabaleshwar. He gave his own part and I made my transport affordable. Return was with no hurry. Hence I made it by road from Mahabaleshwar to Ratnagiri to Mangalore to my home town in kerala, though there was no pre reserved seats I got into buses with nearby destinations where seats are available. My stay was in Club Oxygen resorts which was a delightful experience for me and wife. Strawberry gardens nearby the resort was awesome.

        Great little trip to a remote part of the country. Long drive from Pune, 3 hours each way, so knowing that your expectations should be set. Beautiful part of the country, lots of trees, sacred temples and great views. Strawberry farms are neat as well.

        The driver was right on time at the hotel and ready for a 3 hour drive. We picked up the guide at Mahabaleswar and had some breathtaking views and nice visits to the old temples. The guide then made his way to the local market allowing some shopping time. When I came back to the cab, the guide was gone and the driver brought me to an overrated strawberry farm/shop. Nothing really to see or do there but it being 2pm, I had a pizza for lunch.

        Driver then drove me back to the hotel.

        I did like the elements that we visited, but a cab without a single bottle of water for a six hour drive in total surprised me and the fact that the guide just disappeared was very weird.
