A great time in India - We booked a 6-day “Golden Triangle Tour with Varanasi”. Although we booked at very short notice, a great itinerary was organized, even with a German-speaking tour guide in each city. We have to mention our driver “Igrar” during the tour, he was great, always friendly and helpful, he drove us safely through the often chaotic roads and coordinated everything perfectly with the local tour guides in each city. His motto was: “I am only happy when we are happy”. During the 6 days we got a small but very good insight into the huge country of India. We can recommend this tour to everyone, but in our opinion always with Varanasi, Varanasi is a must, preferably for 2 nights. Many thanks to the whole team for the perfect organization!
