    I booked a free walking tour of Pune for myself and my father. It was my first time visiting the city and I was really looking forward to exploring the history of Shanivarwada. The tour was supposed to start at 10 am and I got a confirmation email asking to be present at least 15 minutes before the appointed time. We reached the location well in advance and got a little worried when there was no guide and no communication from yo tours even after 10. I tried to contact them on the phone numbers mentioned in the emails and on their website. But neither was answered. I even wrote them an email, asking them to contact me. Frustrated and drained, we left from there at 10:30 and saw a few things on our own. The first piece of communication from them was three and a half hours later. It was an SMS, apologising for 'the confusion regarding the meeting point and time' and since their guide was 'unable to connect with me' because there was some 'confusion' (about what?). This was ridiculous. My contact information, phone, email, everything was filled out while registering. besides, the meeting point and time were clearly mentioned on the website and in the confirmation email. The least they could have done is apologise for the no show. Instead, they tried to blame it on the operations team.

    Djay was a very good guide, he explained a lot about the Hinduism and yoga in Rishikesh, and walked me around all the nicest places to see. I highly recommend to do this tour if you are in Rishikesh.
