Our Guide Hamanshu, picked us up at 6am, and we started off with a boat ride along the Gange, he was very knowledgeable about Varnasi and it's culture, we throughly enjoyed our day with him and got to see a few things that were not on the gender as he was good at catering to our requests, On the whole it was educational, friendly, great day, would not hesitate to recommend Hamanshu as a tour guide in what ever you are interested in
Wonderful service and meaningful day trip in Varanasi
This experience was a wonderful tour of Varanasi. Our tour guides Suhel and Zain were extremely welcoming and accommodated the tour to fit our exact needs and wishes. We had delicious food across Varanasi and had a wonderful time seeing the city, including Shri Kashi Vishwanath, a boat ride, the university, Sarnath, and front-row seats at Ganga Aarti at Aasi Ghat. After our tour concluded at 8pm, Suhel and Zain waited around with us and escorted us to Shri Kaal Bhairav Temple at 11pm, demonstrating their true desire to show us a meaningful time. They even drove our friend back to her hotel which was separate from our own pickup/dropoff location. This ensured that she was safe during the night time and is the perfect representation of this company’s service mindset.
