We had a wonderful 5 days touring Kerala with our amazing driver Mr. Zakkir. The tour was a nice pace, hitting the highlights of the area. Munnar was exquisite. It is up in the mountains with misty clouds all around, windy roads, and tea plantations all around. Thekkady also beautiful town known for its wildlife boar tour on Periyar lake. To add to the wildlife scenery- lots of giant bats and monkeys that come out in the evening! The Alleppey boat tour was a pleasant surprise- boating gently through the backwaters- with great meals provided. For kochi is a beautiful boardwalk along the coast- not to be missed. Overall- the trip was great. Kerala food has been our favourite Indian cuisine so far. Would recommend for anyone looking for a short tour of Kerala.Show more

As an experienced traveler, I was still somewhat anxious about traveling solo to India for the first time. Thanks to Aamir and the team at Varanasi Excursion, the entire journey went smoothly and professionally from start to finish. Every day, the driver Mr. Bablu was my first point of contact and he took excellent care of me while navigating the sometimes hectic atmosphere of India with great calm and reliability. The guides at the different tourist locations were knowledgeable and professional, and all arranged hotels exceeded my expectations in comfort and quality. I can highly recommend Varanasi Excursion to anyone considering a trip through India, they truly take care of everything and make you feel safe, comfortable and well supported throughout your journey.Show more

It was a good tour, we went to a lot of different places over the 6 days. The hotels were a good standard and comfortable. Our driver was very reliable and made sure everything was ok for us, he also drove carefully and well. There were a few minor glitches one with the gondola booking and one with a change of hotel but the company were eager to compensate for this by providing complimentary dinners for us which we appreciated.Show more
