Great flexibility

Hannah_S, Sep 2024

The driver was the best, so kind and great at his job! Sunrise boat tour was definitely worth it. We were both unwell and the tour guide was very good at letting us rest for most of the day and coming back to get us for the Aarti. Only complaint was that on our way back to the car, the tour guide kicked a dog (the dog was just walking and not doing anything wrong). Very upsetting to see this.

This was an excellent tour. The early morning boat on the water was wonderful. The evening ceremony beautiful and inspiring. The trip to Benares was very interesting and very beautiful. Our driver and our guide were very helpful all day. Our guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. It was a perfect day.

Enjoyed the Ganga River tour, and the ghats. Also got to see the Golden temple. Sarnath was fascinating. I learned a lot.

Thanks for making our day in Varanasi so special

Petra_V, Jan 2024

After some misunderstandings about pick up time, we spent a very nice and intense day with our guide Wasim in Varanasi. We started with a boat trip on river ganges and visited throughout the day the major sights of Varanasi. We had booked a private tour and would absolutely recomend this because. Wasim answered in a friendly and competent way to all our questions and knows the place very well. We felt in any situation very safe with him, especially in crowded places. We went to some tipical shops, but at no time, we felt pushed to purchase at these shops. My husband is very enthusiastic about taking fotos and Wasim was very attentive to show us hidden details of the city. I want to express very special thanks to him for his assistance, when because of smog our flight to Dehli was cancelled the day before we were supposed to leave. My reconfirmation for the new flight booking did not arrive and I was worried. At the end everything went fine.
