I didn't actually make it... - I didn't actually make it to the tour. My plane was delayed three times so I arrived too late to participate. However the host was beyond accommodating to all my delays and worked closely with me to ensure I would be able to participate if possible. The level of care and communication I received was exceptional. As a solo female traveler its important to feel confident in tour companies and I completely did. Sad I didn't make the tour but if I return I'd have no doubts booking with them again and I highly recommend them

First time in India with friends - It was wonderful to be accompanied by Amit! Thanks to him we were able to reach corners, celebrations and rituals that newcomers to Varanassi would have been difficult to find. In addition to taking care of all the details of the route (where to eat, how to move from one place to another, explain all the details of the places visited...), Amit was always watching how we felt, if we needed to change any plans, if we were enjoying ourselves, if we had preferences in the options that he could offer... which made me feel super cared for and confident and enjoy the experience to the fullest. Thank you 🙏🏼🩷

Magical and Insightful Tour - Had an amazing time touring India and I owe it all to Amit Srivastava of Dhyanam India tours. He and his team curated a perfect itinerary based on our needs and preferences and executed it flawlessly. We traveled to 5 cities in two weeks. His tour allowed us to cover a lot of ground in a short time while also absorbing the beautiful and unique aspects of each city. In each city, we were met with professional and knowledgeable tour guides and drivers. We also met top notch musicians, dancers, and photographer. There is nothing he cannot do for his clients. Amit was available 24/7 for us and checked on us to make sure we were comfortable and having fun. While we did an English speaking tour and traveled as foreigners, they also
offer tours in many other languages. We felt so safe. We are lucky to have made amazing friends who feel like family now. We can’t wait to book another tour with him in the future so I could explore more of India in comfort and knowledge. Best wishes for continued success. Thank you all for the beautiful memories!! 🪔💫🙏🏽🥳

The best guide and friend for visiting India - If you are planning a trip to India—or already have one booked—and want a local guide who is much more than just a guide, Amit and Dhyanam India Tours are the answer.
With Amit, I discovered history, culture, religion, philosophy, and deep knowledge, always shared with respect, kindness, and a constant smile. I learned so much and truly lived the experience with joy and intensity, surrounded by an ancestral land and its incredible people.
From visiting emblematic sites of Sikh history, Tibetan heritage, political history of India and the roots of yoga and its masters, to sacred places for Hindus—Amit guided me through it all. India is a fascinating country, and I would return tomorrow without hesitation.
As a bonus, Amit speaks perfect Spanish, which made everything even easier and more enjoyable.
Thank you, Dhyanam India Tours. Thank you, Amit!

Thank you for everything, Amit! - Amit is an amazing guide! He doesn’t just know and love his country he makes you feel it too. What I appreciate the most is his kindness: always patient, helpful, and with the best attitude, even when we were exhausted. He handled our large group with respect, professionalism, and incredible energy. If you want to explore India with someone who takes care of you like a mom or dad, Amit is the perfect choice. Thank you for everything, Amit!
