Magical experience - It is worth seeing Varanasi from another perspective, lulled by the waves of the Ganges. A magical experience that will remain in my heart! Thanks also to Sonu who explained many curiosities! I recommend it to you!

Must Do in Varanasi - My boat tour with Sonu was simply spectacular! The sunrise was breathtaking, casting a golden glow over the serene waters as we sailed. The buzz of the town waking up added to the charm of the experience. Sonu's knowledge and helpfulness made the journey even more enjoyable. Through our conversation, I learned of his deep love for his city, which was evident in his enthusiasm for sharing its beauty with us. I also learned that Sonu is an award-winning photographer! Highly recommend this unforgettable experience, worth waking up early for!

Very very reccomended!! - Very very beautiful boat tour. Sonu deeply knows Varanasi. He gave us many information from a cultural, historical and religious point of view. The ghats are simply wonderful while the sun rises. Spiritually nourshing.

First or last day, do it - All started at 5.15. We arrived a little bit early but Sonu was already there waiting for us to share a Masala Tea. Sony is great. He clearly knows a lot about the city, not only he answered all our questions but he also did are more to the list. About the tour, whether it is your first or last day try to do it. Watching the city come alive (if one can say so) is a memory you will never forget.

Emotional sunrise tour boat - I had the boat tour during sunrise to enjoy the city with the light from another perspective. Before starting we had a delicious chai and Sonu started explaining me a lot about the history of the city with many details, he’s prepared and ready to answer all doubts and questions, he’s very kind and he loves guiding with fun and jokes also. I highly appreciated the experience and I’ll recommend to do it with him. Thanks Sonu!

Very informative - We had a really good time despite the fact we were really late (our fault for underestimating the traffic in the early evening). The tour guide really knows his stuff. We enjoyed his Frank and honest answers. We learned a lot. Make sure to put on plenty of insect repellent!!!
