Tour in Varanasi - The tour was fine, and they were flexible with the schedules. We were 5 friends. The guide spoke good English, and Italian. Very punctual to pick us up, and generally all quiet.

Varanasi Two Half-Day Tour - Temples, Rituals, History - The tour was really nice and interesting, we learned a lot about the history of Varanasi and the Hindu religion, visiting the birthplace of Buddhism. The dawn cruise on the gange was amazing and also witness the evening rituals of the ganga aarti and visit the cremation areas. Our guide was Anmol and he was very good at making us appreciate this historic city.

Girls trip - We had a great day! We had a similar tour the day prior, however our guide was wonderful and though we did see some similar sites, he did a great job of adding several new sites which were unique to Varanasi/India so we would have a well-rounded experience. Highly recommend and hope to be back soon!
