Exceptional guide! - Rohit is an exceptional guide with outstanding local knowledge. He also understands a visitor’s viewpoint.
He tailored one of my tours due to the waterfront conditions on the day. The experience was a unforgettable experience!

Wow what an experience - Wow what an amazing experience. Mr Rohit was such a great guide. It was a festival so I went on his motorbike rather than the tut tut to help navigate the traffic - what an experience - so much fun! I felt so safe and learned so much Mt Rohit is very passionate on making sure you have a good time and very knowledgeable.
The boat ride was so good and then Mr Rohit made sure I had an amazing view of the ceremony which was awesome. Such a wonderful night - thank you - I can’t recommend enough!

Fantastic tour - Fantastic tour. Our tour guide, Mukund, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was prompt at the hotel. He answered all our questions and was very polite. We really enjoyed our time with him. The Aarti was fantastic to see. Our guide ensured we had a great view. Fantastic.

Just spectacular - Hinduism to its spectacular level
it is a challenge to go there, I mean to arrive, the traffic and the crowd are without equal
then, it is a challenge to be in the boat, to be part of the boats platform, then to see the procession and to hope your boat will manage somehow not to be crashed by that boat crowd
and then, the same crowd and traffic, to escape :)
of course, we met a cow, with no traffic or crowd problems
India, my love

Wonderful experience - Sonu is a great guide. He arranged an evening boat ride and city walk tour for us. The next day he booked a driver who took us to visit Sarnath and later to the airport. Great knowledge and understandable English accent :) I recommend Varanasi sightseeing with him.

Great experience in Varanasi! - For two days our guide Mukund Varanasi and his sights as well as Sarnath brought us closer.
Unique experiences really lives up to its name, because in addition to what you can read in guidebooks, we got deep insights into Indian society and Hinduism.
Much that seemed incomprehensible to us at first glance is now seen through different eyes.
A very great experience, highly recommended!
Thank you, Mukund!

Poor Quality - Very poorly organized. The boat organized had health and safety issues - there was no safety railings and constant smoke which made it difficult to breathe. They charge 2-3x the amount you would pay if you organize yourself - this is not an issue per say but when it lacks quality thought, it seems like they are just trying to rip people apart. Stay away from these guys until they become more professional. I would have given 0 stars but am giving 2 stars for the guide Mr. Rohit who did his best to make the experience bearable for us
