Great day exploring Varanasi - We had a fantastic day exploring Varanasi with our expert guide Vinod. It started in the morning at sunrise on the River, and the guide accommodated all of our choices on activities for the day and scheduling. We ended the day at the very peaceful Sarnath temple ruins. Recommend!

Excellent day tour of Varanasi - An excellent day.
Starting early, I was greeted by Vinod my guide for the day.
I was first taken on a boat trip on the Ganga to see the sunrise and many of the Ghats.
After a break for breakfast, we visited Sarnath, where I had the history of Buddha explained and taken to the museum and the Stupa which marks where Buddha gave his first Sermon.
After a break for lunch I was taken to the Manikarnika Ghat, where the cremation process from death was explained. Finally the Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat for a great finally to the day.
Vinod is very knowledgeable and informed me about all we saw and answered all of my questions.

Great individualized tour experience - Manish was a great guide to have on a spiritual tour of Varanasi. We went to several temples and Vedic schools which we never would have found on our own.

Amazing experience - This was an amazing trip. We had some difficulties with weather but the team and especially Vinod was so flexible. I have been wanting to come yo Varanasi for so long and it outlived my expectations because of Vinod. I've been all over India and Vinod was one of the most passionate, thoughtful and knowledgeable guides. Would recommend highly.

Do this tour if you only have one day! If you have more time do it anyway! - Wonderful! Mr Kumar is a very calming presence. You feel at ease and relaxed and enjoy every experience that he provides. Very knowledgeable, answers ALL questions, no matter how simple or complicated.
He has designed this tour so you can enjoy most of what is there to enjoy in Varanasi. You will feel that you’ve spent a week visiting and learning, such is the diversity and quality of this tour.

Trip to Varanasi with family and elderly family - Indrajeet organized this trip over a span of 2 days with trips within Varanasi and Saranth. Our guide Vinod was very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting information about the different places. He was patient with my elderly family and my children. I would recommend Indrajeet as courteous and hassle free guide in Varanasi
