Interesting Palace tour..
Published on Dec, 2023
Very interesting and insight into the life of the maharaja whose family still lives there. Good audio is available in all languages to guide your round the part of the Palace that is open to the public. The building is a magnificent testimont to the architecture of the time it was built. Certainly a very good half day out to tour this building and its surroundings.
Amazing day out to experience heritage and history
Published on Dec, 2021
This tour is a full day tour from Ahmedabad but worth it. Out guide was phenomenal and made us very comfortable during the day. He was brilliant in terms of knowledge and showed us an opulent palace in Vadodara. We also visited an ancient capital called Champaner which was lovely. we ended the tour at Pavagad a famous pilgrimage site for the local people. What I loved most was that in this tour you get a sense of the real India beyond the cities. I could really connect with this part of India and that was the highlight.
