We had a very enjoyable two days with our tour guide Shanu. Since we arrived in Varanasi in the afternoon, I was worried that we would not be able to accomplish everything on the schedule, but he made sure that we were able to go to the destinations on the second day that things had been planned in the itinerary for the first day. He even managed to get us to the Lassi shop, which we had really wanted to visit in Varanasi. He was very flexible in incorporating other things we wanted to eat and places we wanted to visit into the tour to fulfill our wishes as first time visitors to Varanasi. At the sights, he took our pictures with his smart phone; we were worried that he would post our pictures on social media or the company websites, but he promised not to post them anywhere and sent us the pictures he took. Thanks to him, it became a great souvenir for us. I don't think we could have enjoyed our visit to Varanasi as much as we did without his guide. I strongly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Varanasi.

Had a fantastic Varanasi Tour experience with Tour guide Abhishek. Driver Was kindly and save driving all the time. After Monsum time in Summer Ganges was high Level on Water. No boat ride. But never mind. City is Worth seeing at any time of the year. There is plenty of Things to Do. Aarti fire Show and Ghat burning will take place on upper terrace Level in case of high Water, no problem. Guide is flexible to Do the Things you will ask him to do. I stayed in varanasi only 48 hrs. Therefore it is the perfect Trip. I recomend you also check on You Tube before arrival to make clear your Favorite spots to Tell the guide to See. It is Not a good idea at all to Go on a Solo Trip through the City without an official Tour guide agency programm. Traffic is crazy, you would get loose your way on the Small arrow Lane galley. Not all Tuktuks Rikshas Driver on the street speak Hindu. I found the Tour was a bit to Western high pricy since it is in india. But for beeing guided save it was Worth every Cent. As the guide briefling informed me After tour never speak to strange people on the street. They will pretend to Show you sights for free catch you to sell you something. Could be fun at the first Moment but could case serios trouble if Not paying them afterwards. Be careful. For Not being able to go on boat my guide even came to Pick me the 1st day afternoon 2hrs earlier than arranged to Start the tour. We made plenty of Things. I decided Not to get up at 5 in the next morning since also need some sleep and Rest time for big tourism Trip. When Arriving in the City for beginning of Tour we directly walked to biggest Varanasi Temple Kashi Vishwnath Golden Tempel. It's sich a good feeling Vibe, Best way to enter the City. Guide knows how to bring you Quick in Tourist line to enter the temple. As you can read on the net, no chance to find the entrence without seroius guide.all hindy language. Temple was really impressive and big place with Mantra music outside and Best beautiful ganga view. Went to Further big places and Ghat for Aarti Evening Show. Blue Lassi is a really yummi Shop which you could ask to Go without any Belly worris. Red durga Temple and other Temple Programm the buildings were really impressive. Just wish to have even more time and bit more explainings. Make Sure to bring much really Small exchange money for Temple Rituals donation and Toilet Like 10 rupies since there often will be no change. Toilet for women is easy to find every where. Other good street food/Drink is sugar cane and coconut, really yummi. Bedzzz Hotel Downtown is really good place. Can reach the golden Temple, Ghats and old town with in Minutes. Also good access by car to reach Airport. Would Not stay at the old town Small street hotels or Brijrama Hotel since there is no car acces for the Driver to Pick you with the lagguage. Other hotels Like Hilton radisson might be good But to dar outside from the Cities Main attractions, will cost you Time. Guide also helped me to buy the stuff I needed for Further travel. Thank you for that and for All amazing Photos. BHU University town is really impressive, much Green and Temple and all univerity faculties to study. Also went to the silk town in the City. Really musst See how They fabric the silk and how the workers live. I bought silk afterwards. I love this colours staff, one of the Main reasons to love india. I already have much of that at home. But bought some more over there to respect the workers for their hard and great work und poor conditions. Driver was there on time for the airport Pick up. Guide took also care to be back in time with the Driver depending on flight times. Same would be if you would Like to come on train. I Just missed free Water at the car. Varanasi is a really nice underrated place, could be even more instagram people on there since there is plenty of Things to See and Do and make Photo of. Will come back when the cable car in the City is finish built and in Winter when is travelers Best weather. Have fun and enjoy this wondeful experience.

Coming from the north, Varanasi is the Indian city i've expected to found landing in India from Italy. A lot of colour, people, animals, Horn mixed together. The aarti seen from a very special place, the sunrise from a boat along the Gange were something unforgettable. Thank to the staff and a special thanks to our driver and to our guide Anshu that answer to every our question and request! (Anshu is also a very very good photographer!)
Great guide good company

We had Ritu as our guest and he was great! He is very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited, went out of the way to help us with everything that we needed, explained the ceremonies in detail, and much more! I truly recommend him as a guide in Varanasi, and the tour in general. It was excellent!
