"This was a great way to experience the city, get to know the history, city quirks and learn about Chandigarh. Rusty was super friendly and accommodating."
"An amazing experience exploring this fascinating city. He says himself he's the guide for the kind of person who doesn't want a guide – and it really was like seeing the city through the eyes of a friend who lives there."
"We had a great day on a private tour with Rusty. We saw lots of amazing Le Corbusier and Jeanneret buildings, including ones not usually open to the public."
"This was my ideal day of getting to know a city. He has a deep knowledge and love of Chandigarh, which he shares in a fun, charming, and irreverent way."
"1000000% recommend doing this tour with Rusty. I got to know a lot more about Chandigarh and its architecture but also got to see places that I wouldn't be able to find on my own. Rusty also provided sun umbrellas which was a life saviour in the heat."
"Chandigarh is an incredibly unique city, not just for India but for the world. Rusty is extremely knowledgeable and gave great historical background... Don't second guess. It was worth every rupee!"

"Excellent, very informative, and thorough visit of very high quality."
"Rusty is a great guide. I'd been looking forward to our visit to Chandigarh for ages. Thanks to him, it was so much more enriching. His sense of humour and ability to put things into perspective also made it a real pleasure."
