Bodh Gaya in one day - an excellent trip - An excellent trip to one of the main sights of Buddhism - the guide was very informative, providing lots of interesting facts and background information and the driver dealt with the challenging roads to get me there with minimal fuss. The long ride from Varanasi was worth it. Highly recommend this trip.
