The guide texted me 10:30pm, while I was already sleeping for next morning departure scheduled at 5:00am, saying he did not know the hotel for pick-up which I already confirmed with tour company a week ago. Hotel pick-up delayed and we finally left 30 mins late which seems to be normal for them. The car had an issue to go to Gays, end up with changing car on the way with another wasting time. Other part of tour was normal but the arrangement needs to be improved.

It was a wonderful and memorable trip with the tour guide Sunny and the driver Salman. Sunny provided clear, engaging, and informative explanations of all the tourist attractions in Bodh Gaya in a very professional and well-organized manner. A truly enjoyable experience that I highly recommend to anyone who wants to explore the area comfortably while gaining valuable insights.

Tour was fair. I think people should be forewarned that the trip is almost 6 hours one way with traffic. Roads are under construction and that adds to it. Guide was very nice but we would like to have heard a lot more history and details about each site. I was super excited to see the Bodhi tree but it is walled off and can’t take cell Phones into temple because of previous terrorist attack—so bring a separate camera. Was excited about this trip overall but left sort of disappointed.

Good driver but I have sern only one real temple , Mahabodi, nice but the others were a ‘joke’ and certainly this was not worth me suffering in a car 14 hours in the crazy dangerous traffic with not even nice landscape on the way, just same scenario. Use your time to pick another tour , don’t start this from Varanasi.

Our journey from Varanasi to Bodh Gaya was nothing short of spiritual bliss. Ramesh, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable, explaining the significance of each site with passion. He made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip and shared intriguing stories about Buddha's life. The Mahabodhi Temple visit was surreal, and Ramesh's insights deepened our connection to the place. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a soulful experience.
