Varanasi - We had a great full day tour of Varanasi thanks to our tour guide Rahul. We were uneasy about checking out this city on our own, but he made it easy, comfortable, and we learned so much about the local culture and lifestyle here. Couldn’t be happier with our choice.

Our tour guide Alok was well informed... - <p>Our tour guide Alok was well informed and made use feel safe. It was my first time India and I wanted to visit the Ganges, the walking tour provided the full experience. I suggest you prepare yourself mentally for this tour. By the end of the way I was overwhelmed by the experience and wanted to skip the evening arti. I am happy I didnt. This was wonderful to see. </p>

Do not buy this tour - Tour suppose to start at 6 a,m, It started at 8 a.m.
Ganga Ghats were not included. Without Ganga Ghats the tour is not completed. This is the most interesting place in Varanasi.
