Minesh was great! I wished the boat ride was a little longer. It focused on the crematory. I also wish we saw the Ganga aarti show from the boat, but I got lucky and got a nice view!

If you're an international tourist interested in seeing the aarti, I highly recommend this tour. The guide ensured I had a front row seat to what is a very very crowded event. We weren't able to go on a boat due to high water levels on the Ganges, but the tour was great nonetheless.
