We were so lucky to have depp as our guide! It was a huge help being smoothly guided through the maze-like streets that I never could have navigated on my own.

We were picked up at the hotel at 5:30 AM, then headed to Bodh Gaya. On the way, we stopped at a service area for about 30 minutes for breakfast. The drive to Bodh Gaya, including the break, took about 5 hours. In Bodh Gaya, we visited the Japanese Temple, Thai Temple, the Great Buddha statue, and the Mahabodhi Temple. It was a shame we couldn't take photos at the Mahabodhi Temple because cell phones weren't allowed, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide, Ritu, explained everything very thoroughly. On the way back, we stopped at the same service area for lunch, and then the tour concluded. It was a wonderful experience.

Had an incredible experience in Varanasi! The sunrise boat ride on the Ganges was absolutely magical, and the evening Ganga Aarti was one of the most beautiful cultural experiences I’ve ever witnessed. The city is full of history, spirituality, vibrant streets, and amazing local food. Every moment felt authentic and unforgettable.
The tour was well organized, smooth, and gave us enough time to truly enjoy the beauty of Varanasi. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting India it’s something you’ll remember for a lifetime! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

this was a very eye opening tour. shivam took us around patiently. explained everything well and made sure we felt comfortable and safe. it’s a very full itinerary from 6am to 7pm but since it’s a private tour, you have the freedom to choose which places you want to go to. no problem to do everything too! it will be a very great experience!

What to know before visiting Varanasi
What to do in Varanasi year-round
Varanasi is best known for immersive cultural experiences led by Tours and attraction passes, with Tours the clear top category by booking volume. Klook booking data shows demand peaks in March and remains lively across January and April, while July and August are much quieter. Plan around the rhythm of the year: festival and pilgrimage-driven activity concentrates in March and January, while the monsoon months settle into a quieter pace. Decide whether you want peak-season atmosphere or quieter exploration — Klook booking data helps you match timings to the kind of trip you want.
When to visit Varanasi and price rhythm
Demand on Klook peaks in March and is also high in January, while July is the quietest month, according to Klook booking data; prices drift through the year with the priciest month in June and the cheapest in November, so crowd and price peaks don’t fully align. If you want smaller crowds and lower typical prices, travel in November or the July–August quieter window; for the full festival and riverside atmosphere aim for March or January but expect higher demand and prices.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Peak demand | AUD 40 |
| February | About average | AUD 45 |
| March | Peak demand | AUD 60 |
| April | Busier than usual | AUD 52 |
| May | Very quiet | AUD 43 |
| June | Quieter than usual | AUD 67 |
| July | Very quiet | AUD 46 |
| August | Very quiet | AUD 37 |
| September | Busier than usual | AUD 43 |
| October | Quieter than usual | AUD 55 |
| November | Quieter than usual | AUD 36 |
| December | Busier than usual | AUD 45 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Most travellers book fairly close to travel time — typically around 3 days ahead — so there’s flexibility to plan at short notice, though booking earlier helps in the busier months identified above. A few planners secure tickets and tours up to two weeks out for peak dates and popular experiences. Use Klook to lock in timed tours and attraction options once your dates are firm, and consider booking a few standout activities earlier if you travel in March or January when demand spikes. Klook booking data shows these patterns and can help you pick moments to reserve key experiences.
