An Excellent Tour of Mahabodhi & surrounding area

Though his knowledge of speaking in English was limited he was able to provide me with an excellent tour of Madabodhi temple & the surrounding area. Special mention must also be given to him for being very punctual in picking me up from the hotel.

This is a scam

Firstly, the driver showed up with no guide. I asked about the guide and he said “you should have booked a guide if you want one”… umm I was under the impression that I did book a guide when I paid 3000 rupees for the tour and the reviews referred to a guide. They didn’t even provide the water which was mentioned in the description inclusionsz The driver proceeded to taxi me around to temples around bodh gaya. Taxi driver was a nice guy, but could offer no explanation to what I was looking at at any of the places. 3 hours into the tour, the driver said we are finished… I told him it’s advertised as a 6-8 hour tour, why the difference? He said “Oh it’s because we don’t have a guide for you”. What!?!? I said I want to see the Pragbodhi caves, since we have more time. We started driving there, then another guy jumped in the car and said “I’m the guide”. Nice of him to show up… We went to the caves. The guide spent the whole time trying to sell me on donating to his “charity” (which sounded like a scam) rather than explaining what we were seeing. After the caves, they said the tour is finished (4 hours into the tour) and dropped me to the station. When I said goodbye, the guide aggressively said “you need to pay my fee”. I told him “no chance, I’ve already paid” and left. This was a laughably disastrous tour.

Operator response

Dear Sir, We are very sorry to know about the unpleasant experience you had and we apologize for the same. We will definitely look what went wrong and take strong action against it. This is the first time something like this happened. This tour doesn't include a guide and is nowhere mentioned in the product. This was a local tour but on your request we dropped you to Gaya Railway Station without an extra charge. We would like to apologize once again for your bad experience and see to it that it doesn't happen again in future.

Fraud

It's a fraud Be aware There is no other way to put it It was most horrendous experience I have ever experienced in my whole life

Operator response

Dear Sir, We are very sorry to hear that you didn't have a pleasant experience with us, but if you remember we clearly mentioned you that we only provide free pickup in and around bodhgaya and not from gaya. Since you were in gaya we suggested you to cancel the booking and we will be giving you a full refund. Sorry to know that you didn't get our point or misunderstood us. Hopefully we can give you a pleasant service on your next visit. Thanks 🙏

Highly recommend

Thanks to Anshu I had an amazing day. Instead of the Hindu temples (I wasn’t aware I can’t go as a foreigner) we visited the Dungeshwari caves which actually made the trip even better.

Had lot of hopes but disappointed

Vehicle arranged is not in good condition. For one and half day the charges are reasonable but for the condition of vehicle. Better be sure of vehicle condition etc before hiring
