    Very well organized tour with an excellent guide and a comfortable hotel. The spiritual experience was truly memorable—especially the early morning boat ride on the Ganges during sunrise, which was absolutely magical.

    My trip to Benaras was more than a getaway—it was a journey of peace, faith, and rediscovery. Grateful to Aamir and the Varanasi Excursion team for curating such a thoughtful experience. From quiet moments by the Ganga to walks through ancient alleys, every detail reflected spirituality and care. As a solo traveller, I felt safe and truly at ease. A soulful experience I’ll always cherish.

    The sunrise boat ride was absolutely breathtaking and a must-do experience. Witnessing the ritual cremation at Manikarnika Ghat was humbling and deeply spiritual. Our driver, Shyam, handled the chaotic traffic with ease, making the journey completely stress-free and even recommended a fantastic street food spot we would never have found on our own.Special thanks to Aamir for upgrading my hotel to the 5-star Hotel Avantika—the stay was absolutely fabulous. Overall, it was a memorable and meaningful experience

    We had an excellent tour with our guide, Arvind. He showed us hidden places we would not have found on our own and shared clear, insightful explanations throughout the day. Experiencing Varanasi during the Shiva festival made the tour truly unforgettable. We highly recommend this experience

    Mr. Mohan is very fluent in Japanese and explained everything clearly and patiently. He was a truly reliable and excellent guide. Sightseeing in Varanasi was enjoyable throughout and a very memorable experience. Special thanks to Mr. Aamir for the excellent arrangements and to our driver Bablu for safe and comfortable driving. When I visit Varanasi again, I would definitely like to meet Mr. Mohan and have him as my guide once more.
