Wonderful city - Thank you Tour Varanasi for arranging an amazing tour and Darshan. Visit to Kashi Vishwanath Temple was very smooth and could not have been a better than Savan month. Thanks to the amazing driver Kamlendra

Amazing spiritual and historical experience - Varanasi, or Banares as called by locals, is an amazing city with so much spiritual and cultural influence. The sights and sounds of the bustling city, coupled with the calm early morning and joyous late evening rituals are something that can only be experienced in this Holy City. Our tour guide, Bharat, was so informative, welcoming and patient, definitely a world class guide who allowed us to get an authentic view into the lives of the devoted people of Banares, as well as gave us an immersive experience that we will never forget. A truly life-changing excursion and Bharat will always be connected to us through his genuine energy and hospitality. The sights, sounds, and emotions of the this tour are something that should be part of every tourists' trip to India, young and old!

The most wonderful tour! Thank you Bharat & thank you Varanasi! - We had the most incredible tour of Varanasi, lead by our very knowledgeable & talented guide, Bharat. We started with a sunrise boat ride which was extremely moving and peaceful. Then we went around a few temples and sacred places where we learned about their history and culture. Bharat is very knowledgeable and has great visual aids to help tell the history and religion. In the evening, we went to the sacred evening ritual where we had great seats to watch the ceremony. It was so moving to see so many people coming to watch/participate every day. Thank you again to our guide Bharat, and our great driver! If you are traveling to Varanasi, this tour is an absolute must do!

Great tour with Bharat! - Definitely recommend this tour. Bharat was a great guide, really informative and friendly. I found Bharat was fascinating on the meaning and beliefs of Hinduism. The sunrise boat trip is worth doing and seats for the evening ceremony on the ghat meant we could see everything. We also went to temples and had a walk round old Varanisi. We also had the most delicious samosas! Highly recommend, we stayed at Shiva Ganges View Guesthouse right on the Ganges which meant it was also easy to do an eve walk along the ghats and explore a bit more.

A day full of interesting experiences in Varanasi - We had a great day, with our guide, Bharat. He took us on a boat trip on the Ganges, to enjoy the sunrise. Then we visited a series of temples, ruins and a museum. We found out about the history of different religions in Varanasi. I'd really recommend this tour. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Getting the most from one day... - The tour delivered on all that it promised, and the opportunity to return to our hotel at times during the day meant that the long day had a good balance. The guide was knowledgeable shared many small details as we drove, walked and talked, that made a real difference to how much we enjoyed our day.

Good experience of Varanasi in one day! - We had a great time with Bharat during our full day tour of Varanasi. He was very knowledgeable and punctual and it was nice to have breaks in between all the attractions. The Ganges sunrise rowboat and Aarti ceremony were definitely interesting experiences and must be done! The tour of Sarnath was thorough and we learned a lot about Buddhism. The walks around the old city were brief but he did bring us to a delicious sweets store where we were able to buy some souvenirs to bring back home. A few reasons why I only gave 4 stars - During the Aarti ceremony, our guide disappeared for 45 mins after saying he needed to use the bathroom. The ceremony had begun and my husband and I had some questions and it would have been helpful if he was around to provide us some insight as to what was going on... Also, after the morning Ganges boat ride, we were told by our guide that 'tipping' was optional to the boat rower and not included in our tour price, so we gave him a reasonable amount. Or so we thought. Because after we gave him the tip, we were told by our guide that 'most tourists tip XX amount', which made us feel bad especially when he said it was optional. If there was a set price expected, it should have been mentioned upfront. Regardless of the above, we still had an amazing time with this tour and Bharat was a good guide =) Jenn & Jon - Toronto, Canada
