I had an excellent experience! My guide Manish was extremely knowledgable, friendly, and answered all of the questions I had regarding hinduism and the rituals at Varanasi. He took me through the most important places of the city, like the temples, the ganges and crematoriums. He gave me great insight and I will forever be grateful for that. Will definitely recommend!
The tour operator never turned up at the appointed time, never informed anything and also no phone number to contact if office was closed on a Sunday. Looks like a fraud to me. Don't take this tour.
Hi gururajts, our apologies for the inconveniences caused as we can see we have already provided you the full refund.
Varanasi was kind of an experience, and our guide Manish was very enthusiastic to explain the story and mysticism of the city, walking alone and with no guide in Varanasi can be very difficult, and he was always able to make us comfortable. We really enjoyed the time and all suggestions he gave us
You honestly couldn’t ask for a better guide. Manish was so easy to get along with and has a world of knowledge about his hometown Varanasi. The tour was intense in a great way. The cycle of LIFE tour was extremely interesting and Manish is outstandingly knowledgeable about all areas. Highly recommend. I followed this tour up with a street foodie tour the day later which was a bog highlight for me. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it so thank you again MANISH for your knowledge, charisma and being my personal guide in Varanasi 🙏🏻.
We did the tour with Abhi, it was very good. He took us to places that we would not have reached if we did not go with a person from here. We recommend it for a first day in Varanasi. Thank you very much!
Abhi walked me through the tour, explaining everything that I asked. He also showed me some different places and knowledge that I didn't know! Thank you. Worth it.
Thank you very much for the wonderful review, it was a pleasure having you on our tour, hope to see you again in next city.
We had a tour with Abhi and were with the 4 of us. We did not know what to expect but it was all about temples and the habits of the local people. At last we went to the main Ghat and here we've seen the rituals of what Varanasi is known for. Noticed that Abhi knew a lot about his religion but we found it inappropriate that he was wearing sunglasses all the time like he was a movie star and dressed like that. Notice that you need to focus on what he is actually saying because of his Indian accent while he speaks English. I really liked that he's was open for feedback and asked for it during the tour.
Thank you very much for the wonderful review, we have taken your feedback very positively and will make sure such case wouldn't appear in future, it was a pleasure having you on our tour, hope to see you again in next city.
I taken a walking tour of manikarnika ghat with my guide abhi. It was a great experience with him. He told me about reincarnation and a lot of great things about the old city Varanasi. I absolutely enjoyed the tour. 100% recommended YO.
