5.00The tour was very informative and i feel like we left off knowing more about the history of places than we did before. We were taken not only to historical cultural sites, but also to the new monestaries. The tour guide was also a very nice guy and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable during the trip. Overall a very enjoyable trip.

Mahabodhi Temple: I want to stay there for hours

5.00One of the attractions in Bodh Gaya is the presence of Buddhist temples from various countries, such as the Japanese Temple, Thai Temple, Tibetan Temple, and more. However, the most notable place is undoubtedly the area around the Bodhi tree at the Mahabodhi Temple, where Buddha attained enlightenment. The air there is very clear, making it a truly special place. I felt like I wanted to sit there for hours. Thank you for the kind assistance.

5.00This was a best tour group, Shanti Tourism, and an excellent Bodhgaya tour we ever have had. First, let talk about the pre-tour communication. This was only the tour group went beyond the tasks list. Beside, informed us all detail of the tour, Kumar kept checking if we need any additional helps. He even offered us additional free airport transfers on different days and even from different hotels that I supposed to pay for. Second, Let talk about the tour. I supposed to have a full-day private guided Bodhgaya tour on a next day. But, Since we arrive to a hotel kind of early in the afternoon, Kumar offered us a free tour that evening to visit the World Heritage. With that chance, we could see the beautiful of temple in the full moon with glowing light. That was one of the tour that was not in the list and he did not have to provide. For sure, we would miss all the pretty of the temple at night with the day tour. In addition to the evening tour, he also offered us another complementary half day tour to visit the Buddha cave to fill out the opened time before going to the airport in the afternoon. We were very please not to miss that incredible Buddha cave. Now, let talk about the tour guide, Bablu. He was very knowledgeable of all places we visited. He explained in detail of the stories. He was very passion with his job and took care of us during the tours. Especially, he was very patient waiting every time we entered the souvenir shops. And last, of course, we could not have a great tour without a safety and patiently drivers who always waited for us at every visited location. We were lucky and thankful to book this tour with Shanti Tourism. They were not just the tour guides, but also the new friends to us . Highly recommended this tour.
