Afzal, my guide for the day, perfectly ensured my very first visit to New Delhi. His sense of professionalism, his seriousness, and his perfect knowledge of the city make him a significant asset!

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! ❤️

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!

The attentiveness was amazing. They were constantly attentive to our actions and considerate in preventing any danger. They took us to places not included in the plan, allowing us to experience the local culture and life, and were excellent guides. Their Japanese was perfect, allowing for almost 100% communication, and we had a comfortable day. I would definitely recommend them to any acquaintances visiting. Thank you very much!😊

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.
