Three things that matter most.
The Golden Temple, Jallianwala Bagh, and Partition Museum should not be reduced to photo stops. Keep the heritage core slow, leave the outer-city excursion flexible, and let food fill the spaces between history. For temples, CityMitra prioritises darshan timing, festival crowd, route access.
