We were picked up right at our hotel and delivered by boat to the catamaran where we met Leo. He was so kind and knowledgeable about the area and took us to three beautiful spots to snorkel. He gave us some tropical juice and fresh fruits and took some photos for us. It was a beautiful day on the water!

While Gandhiji wanted to experiment values of simple living, he shifted his home from Kochrab to this humble place on the banks of river Sabarmati, which was right in the middle of Sabarmati Jail and Crematorium, the two places where most of the satyagrahis ended up. Sabarmati Ashram served as the power center to strategize the freedom struggle and remained home to Bapu till 1930, when Bapu began Salt Satyagrah and pledged never to return to this place until India achieved total independence and he never did. This place draws thousands of visitors every year, not only to peek into his life and his values, but also to introspect. Lets take a walk and listen to the intriguing tales from the life of Mahatma.

We booked this tour to experience the "real" Ahmedabad, and man, it delivered. Our guide Nayan was very well informed, showed us around to different hard-to-find spots around the city and was very flexible, adding a well worth detour to the walk when he noticed our interest in a specific story he was telling. On every of our questions, there was a satisfactory answer. He also felt a bit like our personal guardian, showing us how to safely cross streets, looking for solutions with people at the mosques so I could enter (stupidly wearing shorts that day) and checking if cafés were billing us properly. Speaking of the café, it's well worth following Nayan's suggestions here. The quality is high, the price very low. Ask him about the local food market too if you don't have clear dinner plans after the tour, which was also a great experience for us. To summarise, if not clear already, I strongly recommend this tour.

Since my early childhood I've always dreamed about desert. Thar desert is a incredible place. With one of my best friends we had the opportunity to have a camel safari by Fifu. A wonderful experience. Peaceful and quietly. Wonderful sunset, delicious and typical diner cooked on wood fire. A kind of meditation journey. Meeting yourself in the desert. Thanks to Fifu.

Definitely do not hesistate to book this tour and request Asif. Drivers Ali and Mr. Laxman were also great, punctual, and very respectful.
