5Left a lasting impression
Our morning at the Golden Temple was truly unforgettable, thanks to Ronit. He guided us beyond the usual tourist paths, offering access to areas rarely seen by visitors. His storytelling brought the temple’s history and local culture to life in a captivating way. We had the chance to taste the sacred offerings and even volunteer inside the community kitchen, an experience that left a lasting impression. It was both humbling and inspiring to witness the spirit of seva and learn more about Sikhism and Punjab’s rich traditions.
5Beautiful night walk at the Golden Temple
We had a wonderful and memorable trip to the Golden Temple thanks to our guide, Ravish. Ravish is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Amritsar and the Golden Temple. He also provided us with a good overview of Sikh history and culture. The Golden Temple is particularly stunning in the night and Ravish’s guided tour through the different areas of the Golden Temple complex, particularly the Langar Kitchen, was fascinating. Thanks to Ravish we were able to offer “seva” in the Holy Kitchen, which was a uniquely immersive and therapeutic experience. I would highly recommend a guided tour of the Golden Temple with Ravish for anyone who is visiting Amritsar.
5Unforgettable Visit
We decided to take a guide as a last minute decision for the Golden Temple and what a good decision! Ravish brought the whole experience alive for us with interesting facts, background and history of the temple and Sikhism. He showed us the kitchens with behind the scenes extras and great photograph opportunities! We were so impressed with Ravish and history knowledge and kind manner that we booked him for the next day Border Ceremony. Don't hesitate ..Just book Ravish for your best Amritsar experience!
5Humility and equality
Sharing langar late at night was a grounding experience — simple food, shared with everyone, reminding me of humility and equality. It’s a visit that touches the heart quietly, without needing many words.
5Watched beautiful sunset
The Golden Temple tour was amazing. The guide kindly gave us extra time to join sewa, we enjoyed a tasty meal at the temple, and ended the day watching a beautiful sunset
5Tours was simply unforgettable
I booked the Golden Temple walking tour with Globe Trek Tours through their website. They replied quickly to my inquiry. I first came to Amritsar in 2025, but it was a rushed trip. My host in the city, Ravish, showed me around the Golden Temple. I always wanted to see the temple from inside, and on my special request he stood with me for two hours so I could enter the prayer hall. It was an amazing experience and the reason I came back again, since I missed it last time. This time, the tour was even better. Ravish took me to meditation points and a tower near the temple where I could see the city from above. It felt like an advanced version of the Golden Temple tour, and it was wonderful again. I also asked them to arrange a food tour and an old city tales tour the next day. Both were very special and informative. Highly trustworthy and rely on.

About Amritsar
Amritsar is the Sikh holy city of Punjab, built around the gold-domed Golden Temple and its community kitchen, close to the Pakistan border.
Amritsar was founded in 1577 by Guru Ram Das around a sacred pool, and at its centre the Harmandir Sahib, known as the Golden Temple, rises from the water with a gilded dome. Pilgrims of every background walk the marble causeway to the shrine and eat in the langar, a free kitchen that serves a very large number of meals every day. The lanes of the old city lead to the temple's gates.
