Testimonials

Would highly recommend Deep Dive to explore the best of Lucknow - because indeed the city only reveals itself to those willing to explore the narrow, unmarked by-lanes

Abhishek Ghosh

One of the most remarkable things about the tour was the enthusiasm with which Deep Dive India team carried on till the very end of our tour as we covered every inch of the Residency via the siege & relief of Lucknow. I highly recommend that you take at least one of their tours to witness master storytelling.

Manjari Singh

I have done many walking tours in India and other countries, but the story-telling of Deep Dive India's history-culture-food experts was so engaging, entertaining and memorable.

Suparna Sharma

A fantastic tour of Lucknow. History came alive through the stories and facts narrated by our storyteller. If you're in Lucknow, Deep Dive India's rich walks through the city are highly recommended!

Aparna Srivastava

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to La Martiniere College and a nearby tomb of a Nawab. Our guide was excellent and he conducted the tour as an educational chat. He made a realistic assessment of what clients are wanting and provided engaging information and context. My only regret is that we did not have more time to spend.
