Disappointed unfortunately

3.00Tour was fair. I think people should be forewarned that the trip is almost 6 hours one way with traffic. Roads are under construction and that adds to it. Guide was very nice but we would like to have heard a lot more history and details about each site. I was super excited to see the Bodhi tree but it is walled off and can’t take cell Phones into temple because of previous terrorist attack—so bring a separate camera. Was excited about this trip overall but left sort of disappointed.
Inconceivable that this tour is offered from Varanasi

1.00Good driver but I have sern only one real temple , Mahabodi, nice but the others were a ‘joke’ and certainly this was not worth me suffering in a car 14 hours in the crazy dangerous traffic with not even nice landscape on the way, just same scenario. Use your time to pick another tour , don’t start this from Varanasi.
Fantastic day out
