4Good 2 day tour of Varanasi
We had a good experience on our 2 day tour of Varanasi. The evening aarti was wonderful and our guide Shanu made sure we had great seats. The Sarnath day tour was also very interesting. We got to enjoy great local snacks, but it would have been even better if our second day had included time for lunch. The one thing I’m disappointed in is that we were supposed to attend the morning aarti and unfortunately we didn’t get to, for reasons that were never communicated to us.
4Great way to see Varanasi
Excellent communication before and during the experience. We were able to see much of what Varanasi has to offer, all with a very knowledgeable guide!
5Amazing Varanasi tour with a great guide and driver!
If you have limited time and want to great tour covering Varanasi then this tour is very ideal! Really enjoyed my experiance and got more then I expected. Varanasi is truly a special place and Sanu my tour guide and Bablu made it even better! Sanu was very professional and informative, and shared lots of valuable information, and Bablu was the nicest driver I met in India helping us get around. Highly recommend doing this tour for a memorable experiance :)
5Taj Mahal with Rajasthan & Varanasi, 15 Days
We had the wonderful opportunity to embark on a 15 Day tour of the Golden Triangle including Rajasthan & Varanasi all arranged by Varanasi Excursion Private Ltd. It was a fantastic trip & the best tour I have ever taken. My friend & I had an excellent driver named Bablu who drove us from Delhi through Rajasthan (we visited some beautiful havelis, palaces, forts) ending back to Delhi. We also flew to the holy city of Varanasi for two days upon arrival in Delhi. We had a interesting boat ride on the Ganges River & witnessed Ganga Aarti, a ceremony in the Ghat. India is a complex country mixing tradition, modernization, wealth, poverty, pollution & a huge population. It is not for everyone, if you want 5 stars hotels, inflexible, absence of a large number of people, then this country is not for you. But if you want to experience something unique unlike any other country in the world, then India is for you. All our hotels were unique with the exception of Hotel Royal Regent, Agra which was under renovation. We did not get sick with any of the food & I am looking forward to my next trip to India. Salute to Varanasi Excursion Ltd. for their expertise & guidance.
5Top class trip!
Very well organized and excellent guide, good hotel organised. Spiritual experience, early morning boat ride on the Ganges with sun rise was magical experience. Aamir helped every step of the way!
5Varanasi
There are no words to explain how amazing this trip was because of Aamir and Bablu. They gave me more than I asked for. They have made my dreams a reality. Varanasi is one of those places you have to be to feel that presence of the lord. Bablu was quick with getting us around , through lines faster. He was great at negotiating prices. This trip is definitely a memorable one for me thanks to Aamir and Bablu. I felt extremely safe with them as they are always checking in to make sure everything is going good. Highly recommend them!

About Varanasi
Varanasi, on the Ganges in Uttar Pradesh, is one of the oldest living cities in the world, a sacred place of river steps, temples and silk looms.
Varanasi, also called Benares or Kashi, has been a place of pilgrimage for thousands of years, and Hindus come to bathe in the Ganges, to pray, and to die. Along the west bank, about eighty ghats, broad stone stairways, descend to the water, among them Dashashwamedh Ghat, where lamps and chanting mark the evening aarti ceremony. The Kashi Vishwanath Temple, dedicated to Shiva, stands in the old city's maze of narrow lanes.
Top-ranked sights in Varanasi: Manikarnika Ghat, Dashashwamedh Ghat, Ganges River (Ganga).
