What I don't have is a lot of time to do extensive research on what to pack and how to assess my food options. Help me get quickly up to speed! [more inside]

what travel tv show , shown in Seattle, went to Amritsar
A few months ago in Seattle I saw a travel television show ( probably on KCTS). I'd like to watch it again but my google skills are not good enough for me to identify it. The host was a man, perhaps in his mid 30's. Part of the show involved a train journey to Amritsar, India. In Amritsar, he visited the Golden Temple among other sites.
Can anyone tell me what show this was? Thanks.

Mumbai Tour Guide recommendations
I'm travelling to Mumbai with my partner later this month and we'd like to hire a tour guide for one or two days.
