Great boat tour on the river - Beautiful boat ride on the Ganges with Badal. Was really well organised and he explained a lot of information of the area and the sights. So glad I took the tour and got to see the river from a different perspective and watch the sunrise. Would recommend x

Best boat tour in India! Amazing guide! - I recently took a Sunrise Boat Tour in Varanasi, and it was absolutely unforgettable. My guide, Badal, was fantastic. His perfect English and Spanish, along with his infectious enthusiasm, made the city's history and culture come alive. As we floated along the Ganges River, Badal shared fascinating stories about the ghats and temples, making the serene beauty of the sunrise even more special. His friendly and engaging nature made the experience feel personal and memorable, even though I was on a solo trip. Watching the sun rise over Varanasi from the boat was magical. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Badal as your guide. It's an experience that will stay with me forever. Thank you Badal! 🙏🙏😀
