what we learned

Anthony, Apr 2020

The description on the tour was very vague. They did not disclose that it would require traveling by car daily between 4-8 hrs. Traveling that distance by car daily was too much and made the experience a poor one. The hotel in Varanasi was horrible, the other hotels were acceptable as 3 star hotels. The driver on the trip was a wonderful person. Tour operator was approachable and easy to communicate with. We learned a lot about Hindu and Buddhism.
