Traveler reviews
Beautiful Varanasi
Himanshu was an excellent guide. He shared a lot of valuable information about the area, gods etc. and gave much more that I expected Our driver Parvendra was very patient and navigated us through Varanasi perfectly.
Lovely tour
A lovely day with a lovely guide. Himanshu wanted to give us the best experience and he is very knowledgable. The boat ride had to be cancelled because the Ganges was too high, so Himanshu had to be flexible and included a visit to the Mosque and view of the city instead. Overall a good experience. Remember to take some lunch as this is not included.
Varanasi first experience
Vibrant Varanasi, narrow alleys, standing quietly viewing the amazing Ganges, fascinating traditions and rituals.
