This tour is perfect for those who only have a short time in Varanasi but want the full experience. Our guide was extremely attentive and demonstrated a deep knowledge of local customs, always sharing with us the history and meaning behind each custom. Special mention should be made of the cremation ceremony held on the banks of the Ganges River, a very impressive, unique experience. This tour requires a good mood, as there is a lot to see and do, but if you only have 1 day for Varanasi, it's super worth it to have the mood and take a complete tour. I recommend.
You will definitely want to come back to Varanasi on your next visit to India, because you will miss this warm hospitality from Holiday Tours and it will never be enough time to see everything, to listen to the unforgettable stories. If you travel alone - they will give you a friendly hand and make you feel safe.Guide Manu given us deep history about Gangeas while boating on Gangeas He will make you understand how the things work in India
