The morning sunrise boat ride was splendid! The view was serene and the city was beautiful. The itinerary was advertised for a 10 hour trip but was cut short to an 8 hour trip. Our guide, Mohan, was great in facilitating an providing the richful information about the tourist attractions.

Peen's tour was very smooth and took us to all the places we wanted to go in Varanasi. It was a hot season, but we had a lot of breaks and it was a very enjoyable tour. He also took photos for us, so we have a lot of memories. We were able to communicate in Japanese without any problems. Thank you.
Had a great experience. The guide Mr. Anmol was a knowledgeable person and helpful.
I made the reservation at 9 PM the night before, and they quickly helped me arrange a guide and car. The response was very quick. The pace of the tour was also very comfortable, and they arranged it according to our pace. They also found a Chinese-speaking guide to explain things to me at Sarnath. Highly recommended.
