    Disaster

    Magdalena_B, Feb 2026
    The worst and the most Viator experience. We paid for the boat/city/temples trip with guide and driver but the guide was not arranged and the driver didn’t speak english, was significantly late, boat guy the same. Driver drove us to the random places, not from the list and with no explanation. After complaints we got the guide at 10 o’clock when just 2 places remained to see. Literally the Ganga boat trip was the lost chance and the lost time, shame! For £50 per person we could have royal service if we book book it separately in private

    From $70.00

    per person

    up to 24 hours before the experience starts (local time)

    Book ahead!
    On average, this is booked 26 days in advance.
