- dksk01130 contributionsAwesome tour arrangement with fantastic guideAshish from Banaras Tours did a fantastic job in arranging our tour at Ayodhya. From the initial contact until our tour ended, he made sure we were very comfortable and kept in touch constantly. Our tour guide Akhilesh was extremely competent and very kind to my senior parents. He explained in detail about the history of each place we visited. We visited all the major attractions in and around Ayodhya in a private vehicle in less than two days. The darshan experience was hassle free and we literally walked in and out of the temple despite a lot of rush. Overall the tour was amazing and made our entire experience simply wonderful, we will definitely book again and be back soon!Written 28 January 2025

- 93abhij0 contributionsGreat tour!We had a great time in this tour guided by Ashishji and expertly driven around by Nanheji. They were highly knowledgable and spared no effort to be flexible and to make it really comfortable for us, especially considering that we were traveling with senior citizens. It was our first visit to Varanasi and we really enjoyed all the major highlights, including visiting the ghats and temples, imbibing the hustle and bustle, enjoying the local cuisine and checking out Banarasi sarees. We also did a quick tour of Sarnath - which is highly recommended as it draws an interesting contrast to what Varanasi has to offer. The tour was very well coordinated, communication was great and it was all very well planned.Written 13 August 2024

Vishal Rabat was an outstanding guide on my first tour in India! He has a vast knowledge of the history and culture of Varanasi. The sunset tour was so moving and beautiful. I am lucky to begin my experience in India with him!
