Stop looking. You've already found your guide. Rusty is the best. Funny, charming, smart and passionate about his city — it's like hanging out with your sharp-witted friend showing you around one of the most interesting cities in India.

I am a woman traveling solo. The tour with Rusty was great! I highly recommend it if you want to learn about Chandigarh's layout and architecture. I visited other cities in India, and Rusty was by far the best guide I had there.

Good friendly communication from booking. Well-paced tour with great architectural content. Enjoyed the walking aspect, the variety of buildings, and our guide's humour which added to our experience. A great day out.
