Wow what an experience - Wow what an amazing experience. Mr Rohit was such a great guide. It was a festival so I went on his motorbike rather than the tut tut to help navigate the traffic - what an experience - so much fun! I felt so safe and learned so much Mt Rohit is very passionate on making sure you have a good time and very knowledgeable. The boat ride was so good and then Mr Rohit made sure I had an amazing view of the ceremony which was awesome. Such a wonderful night - thank you - I can’t recommend enough!

Just spectacular - Hinduism to its spectacular level it is a challenge to go there, I mean to arrive, the traffic and the crowd are without equal then, it is a challenge to be in the boat, to be part of the boats platform, then to see the procession and to hope your boat will manage somehow not to be crashed by that boat crowd and then, the same crowd and traffic, to escape :) of course, we met a cow, with no traffic or crowd problems India, my love

Wonderful experience - Sonu is a great guide. He arranged an evening boat ride and city walk tour for us. The next day he booked a driver who took us to visit Sarnath and later to the airport. Great knowledge and understandable English accent :) I recommend Varanasi sightseeing with him.

Excellent. - The guider was very good. He gave us all the information we need about the event. He suggested a very good restaurant to eat, and helped us with shoping. The only negative thing was that we didn't see the end of ceremony.
