    We had a great day! We had a similar tour the day prior, however our guide was wonderful and though we did see some similar sites, he did a great job of adding several new sites which were unique to Varanasi/India so we would have a well-rounded experience. Highly recommend and hope to be back soon!

    I recently explored Varanasi with Ravi and Vijay who were both professional and highly knowledgeable. From the start, it was clear that they had a deep understanding of the city’s history, rituals, and spiritual significance. They expertly navigated the labyrinthine alleys and ghats, offering fascinating stories about the city's ancient heritage. Ravi’s expertise went beyond simple facts. He provided rich context, explaining the significance of key sites and local customs, while also highlighting lesser-known spots that most tourists miss. His respect for the city’s culture and traditions was evident, creating a respectful and enriching atmosphere throughout the tour. Thanks to their guidance, I experienced Varanasi in a way that felt both informative and immersive. Highly recommended to truly appreciate the depth and soul of this extraordinary city.

  • Chaotic but informative and interesting.

    By far the best parts of the tour were the morning and evening sessions on the Ganges. The sights, sounds and smells were amazing, a real insight into the history and culture of the City.
