We had a wonderful experience exploring both Old and New Delhi. Our guide, Sumit, was extremely accommodating and knowledgeable. He shared fascinating insights about the history, culture, and hidden gems of the city, making the tour both engaging and informative. His friendly demeanor and flexibility ensured we enjoyed the day at our own pace. Our driver, Pradeep, made the journey smooth and comfortable. His safe driving and calm presence allowed us to relax and enjoy the ride between sites. The vehicle was clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall comfort of the trip. Together, Sumit and Pradeep created a seamless and memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to discover the rich heritage and vibrant life of Delhi!

We are two 26-year-old Japanese women. This is a really great tour. A driver and tour guide take you around the tourist spots. We went to temples and museums, and then to the Ganges River. The tour guides for the temples, museums, and Ganges River were different people. The driver was with us the whole time. All the memories of our trip to India were wonderful, but the kindness of this tour guide is what I remember most. 🌟Recommended points🌟 → I felt relieved when they met us at Varanasi Airport with a sign. I felt safe that we would arrive at the hotel safely (it's difficult to get to hotels near the Ganges River because cars can't pass). They don't try to scam you. They try to understand even broken English. ⚠️If I had to say something negative⚠️ → They recommend a Ganges River boat ride. A private boat or a shared boat. They really push the private boat. (In the end, they told us to choose whichever makes us happy.) Since it was just the two of us splitting the cost of the boat, it was expensive, so we took a shared boat, but if there were more people going together, a private boat might have been better. I just wanted to see the atmosphere, so I took a shared boat. I'm sorry for my clumsy writing. I sound like a shill, but please, enjoy Varanasi on this tour! ❤️

Starting with a boat ride, the tour guide took me to areas not listed in guidebooks, including ghats, temples, and local chai stalls. On top of that, I was able to tour around safely and securely without being overcharged. It's a bit of a tight schedule for those who aren't physically fit since he takes you to so many spots, but it was the best possible tour for fully enjoying Varanasi in a short amount of time. In my case, since I was the only participant, he guided me at a pace that was completely tailored to me. You don't need to know any English at all. He'll somehow manage to communicate using a translation app. I recommend this plan for solo travelers.

This is my first time visiting India. I'm so grateful that the tour conductor was very detailed and used a translator to explain everything to me since I don't speak English. I could see the remains of heritage that was destroyed during the Mughal Empire's invasion of Varanasi around 1600 years ago everywhere. The maze-like structure of the city was apparently designed to protect it from enemies. We traveled by electric bike and on foot, and in the end, I was dropped off at my accommodation. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it!

This tour deserves more than 5 stars! It needs 10! Our guide, Sunny, was incredibly kind and helpful. When our next tour had no contact, she worried with us and even took us on an unscheduled tour, making our experience even more satisfying. We even got to do henna! As Koreans, we highly, highly recommend this tour!

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!

Anmol was our guide who is so nice. The tour was well organized and we could see many things in Varanasi. This tour started so early that we felt a bit tired, but it was valuable.
