Could neither see ganga aarti nor walk on the ghats as it was too crowded..too many boats and even double decker so pl ensure u have a ticket for a double decker boat for good view. Yo Tours should not have taken bookings or atleast warned that this is not a good time or given a double decker boat
Manish is a great guide who showed and explained me the story of varanasi. He is careful and kind. Very recommended.
Manish is very friendly and likeable young guide who is happy to answer all your questions about Varanasi and its culture. He organized great places for us for the every evening ceremony at Dashashwamedh Ghat. During our tour he fell on one of the numerous stairs that lead down to the Ganges. The first impression was that he hadn't broken anything. He continued the sightseeing tour professionally, probably in pain. Thank you for that. We would book him again at any time and can only recommend him to everyone.A very friendly and likeable young man who will be happy to answer all your questions about Varanasi and its culture.

Thank you Manish for the arrangement! I am from Hong Kong, Whatsapp conversation is smooth the day before the tour. Even I came across flight delay, Manish also patiently asked me for update and kept in touch. The tour is an 2 hours easy walk and visit the must-see spots of varanasi. As you dont spend long in varanasi, with a local guide, you can quickly understand the local lifes and ask for good food recommendations. Worth spent! I was only spent 1 night, but its bit rush and shall spend 2 nights instead. They have different tours, this walking tour is first priority for quick glance. If you love to learn more indepth on the history, other tours should be entertained.
I have booked thinking it is cruise but noted it is hand driven boat. There is no details to whom contact and departure point given as hotel who are not aware of booking. Really worse
Dear Guest, our apologies for the inconveniences caused, it is clearly mentioned in the tour title and description itself that it's a boat ride tour not the cruise ride tour. It is clearly mentioned in the ticket the contact details. Please let us know want not went well, so that we can work on your suggestion and feedback. Thanks!
Brilliant tour with Ranjan. He took us for the sunrise tour along the Ganges, and explained what we were seeing throughout our journey. He was more than happy to answer any questions we had. Thanks RJ, hopefully see you some other time!
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.
