Itinerario
Navegar en el Ganges durante la salida del sol en Varanasi es la principal atracción. Podemos observar aquí la forma de vida de los hindúes a orillas del río Ganges (Ghats) Algunos de los Ghats prominentes y populares en Varanasi son Dasaswamedh Ghat, Manikarnika Ghat, Harischandra Ghat y Kedar Ghat.
Dashashwamedh Ghat es el ghat principal y más espectacular de Varanasi en el río Ganges. Dos leyendas hindúes están asociadas con él: según una, el Señor Brahma lo creó para dar la bienvenida al Señor Shiva. Según otra leyenda, el Señor Brahma sacrifica diez caballos durante Dasa-Ashwmedha-Yajna.

We did a beautiful half day tour with Vinod. The experience was great. From the storytelling to the sites, Vinod led us through the Ghats and the narrow streets of Varanasi sharing his deep knowledge of the city and his passion. After walking and experiencing the city extensively, Ganga Aarti was the apex of the whole experience. We attended it from a reserved high seat (300 Rs pp) that allowed us to fully enjoy the ceremony at its best away from the crowd. A deep and mystical moment that we'll remember forever. Vinod was always kind and caring about our needs and we feel blessed to have had this experience with him.
We had an excellent experience with the booking and tour guide. Indrajeet Ji provided all the support since we booked including taxi and guide services. He kept us informed all along with changing conditions and weather - very professional and punctual. Vinod Ji was our guide and he was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and helped us during our stay at Varanasi with all darshans and ensured us we had a seamless experience. The taxi drivers were very reliable, safe and punctual. They also provided services to us at Ayodhya including taxi from Ayodhya to Varanasi. We travelled with family and had an excellent experience. Strongly recommend their services for bookings, taxi and guide.
Indrajeet with Varanasi Day Tours was the most incredible guide ever. He took us to the main temple and many other sites including a ride on the Ganges.

We had a great experience with Varanasi Day Tours and the morning boat ride. Great communication with Indrajeet before the day of the tour, who was also super flexible to change the schedule as our flight was delayed for several hours. The guide was super nice and knowledgeable as well.

My Aunt and I spent some time in India in October/November 2019, one of our favorite places visited was Varanasi. The city of Varanasi gives a feeling that is unexplainable...but our guide, Jai Prakash Mishra, helped to elevate our experience to another level! He was knowledgeable, funny, kind and accommodating! In the evening he took us through the old city to learn about it's history and culture, and to see the different stores, then we went to the Ganges to view the evening ceremony, which was nothing short of incredible! He went out his way to help us find items that we wanted to purchase, which wasn't easy. The next morning he accompanied us on the boat ride along the ganges to see the various activities occurring along the river, including the prayers and cremations. He was hands down one of our best guides during our time in India! Thanks so much JP...may we meet again in Varanasi!

I spent a day and a half in Varanasi with my guide Akash. We walked the small lanes and got to see the daily lives of the locals. Akash even arranged an excellent seat for me at the evening Arti and I got to snap quite a few good shots. What I was most impressed with was his knowledge of the city, its customs and its history and will definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a guide in Varanasi.

Varanasi is folded in layers and layers. Hence, very first moment to be on Ganga Ghat is mesmerising with the sense of being rooted to this land. A whole city is like a live museum that has preserved centuries within and living heritage of traditions, culture and human science. I have spared 5 full days to cover all the aspects of Varanasi to inhale and absorb an essence of the gorgeous place on this planet. My hotel did recommended a guide named Prasann, I met him to discuss my way of exploring Varanasi. Over a small conversation Prasann did acknowledged my interests and intentions to assure me that he is the one who can take me accordingly. Since then he has been proactively informative, flexible and friendly throughout to me and my 11 year young boy, who’s expectations were different than mine. Prasann has offered 2 sessions of a few hours to attend my specifications that has helped me to catch insight of Varanasi. We had non-stop interaction during the tour and Prasann was highly approachable for anything related to Varanasi. Most of the locals I met are extremely friendly and talkative.
