Reviews
We starter our trip early in the morning but it was raining really hard so we didn't get to do the boat ride. but Sunny, our tour guide has been very amazing in showing us around Varanasi. he made us experience and see the real varanasi as the locals experience them. he is very informative and patient in answering all our questions. this is a good value for money for sure. 👍
Sunny was an exceptional guide. He didn’t just take us from place to place, he shared the stories behind them, the culture, and the little details that made everything feel alive. We visited many incredible spots we would have never found ourselves. He’s very kind, very easy to talk to, and made the whole journey enjoyable and relaxed. We are truly grateful for the experience. Highly recommend Sunny to anyone visiting here!
Mohit was our guide. Due to the frequent fog during this time, he flexibly adjusted the time from 9:00 AM because the sunrise wouldn't be clearly visible. We were able to learn about Indian history and culture. He is a wonderful guide.
Mohit was a great guide, thank you very much.
