A superb tour - the exact correct itinerary without being overwhelmed. The tour leader had excellent English, and a stunning knowledge of both Hindu and Buddhist religions. All stated inclusions were delivered. A bonus was meeting the tour leaders manager - in his home - it was a tremendous experience to meet him and his family.

Met at the airport by a company representative and introduced to our driver. Then our guide took over and presented an excellent tour. We were well looked after by our guide, Wasim and driver, Singh. Good view of Aarti from the balcony and just us and one other couple on the sunrise boat to view the Ganges cremation site and candle release. It was extremely busy festival weekend but they navigated the crowds to ensure we got the most out of the trip. Thank you Tour Varanasi

One of the best time we had in India is in Varanasi. All because of driver Sanjay and guide Bharat who curated our tour so perfectly that we could not have asked it better than this. When you in Varanasi - recommend use these guys.

Our private guide Bharat offered extensive knowledge in the religious and historical history of India (Varanasi) We had amazing views of both sunrise and sunset ceremonies along the Ganges. Transportation was professional and catered to whatever we wanted to see. We would have preferred a hotel closer to the river. But getting there was an adventure in itself! There was time to roam the backstreets under the guidance of Bharat, who frequently offered his fascinating insight.

We went on a private tour, to perform the rituals of my elder brother who passed away 25 days ago at Bengaluru. All were performed at Manikarnika ghat and other things were done at Preist's place, Swaminarayana temple, of Benares. Lord Vishvanath's darshan was very much appreciated. The ambiance is clean, friendly. Now it is very spacious, and approchable.
