    This was a mesmerising tour with a whole Ganga Aarti ceremony to watch. It was worth every bit the time and money expended. Would totally recommend going with this tour and company for other tours around Varanasi (I did a half-day city tour too)

    I am incredibly impressed by the tour experience hosted by Kasif. Deeply knowledgeable about the history, culture and the religious aspects of Varanasi, Kasif enlightened me so much about this wonderful place. The amazing evening boat ride, the outstanding roof top view of the spiritual Aarti ritual, the eye-opening walks along the Ghats, the introduction to the lassi as well as the very fulfilling, quality dinner, all made my evening truly memorable. As a guide, Kasif comes across as very personable and very mindful of my needs and thoughts as a first time visitor to Varanasi. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who comes to Varanasi whether for the first time or for subsequent visits!

    Be prepared to walk in the streets of Varanasi! It was fascinating, exhilarating, exciting and a bit overwhelming at times. We saw so much! Being on the water at night to watch the Aarti was magical!

    A memorable experience seeing the Ganges at night, the ceremony was very interesting, boat ride fun and refreshing and our roof top meal at the Dolphin was delicious.

    Recepción coordinados al arribar a la ciudad y traslados bien programados. Guía (Sr. Adil) muy simpático, servicial y predispuesto a cada inquietud. Contemplamos la ceremonia del Ganga Aati y luego cenamos en un restaurante al frente del Río. Una experiencia inolvidable, emocionante y recomendable.
