It was a safe and nice experience in Varanasi. We walked along the river Ganges and learnt the local culture by tour guide, Mr. Sunny.

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!

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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Received the driver and tour guide details prior to the day trip, which was very helpful.
Our tour guide, Shivam, was extremely friendly and supportive throughout the entire journey. He stayed with us from start to finish, explaining the places we visited and sharing insights along the way. He even helped us bargain for souvenirs, which was a nice touch!
The driver was quiet but very professional—he drove safely, ensured we arrived at each destination on time, and got us back safely as well.
Overall, it was a worthwhile and enjoyable trip.
