Overall satisfying trip and we felt safe. - Well run tour and flexible to times and plan changes. For a small increase in fee, they accommodated our request that we see Triveni Sangam in Pragyaraj instead of seeing endless amounts of temples after Kashi Vishwanath temple.

Be it temple tour, food tour, walking tour, Aarti and boat ride, subah a Benaras experience and trip to Chunar fort, Ramnagar fort! Mr Akhilesh is very knowledgeable and has good knack of story telling. He was thoroughly professional and patient with us. Thank for great experience

Amazing Customer Service - The excellent service provided by VaranasiDayTours started from the moment of the first contact. Through the preparation of the trip, the responses by whatsapp were immediately (considering the time zone), which allowed us to ask questions and personalize the itinerary. Arriving in Varanasi everything went perfectly. The transfer, the guides, the selected tours. Always punctual, and most importantly, the constant search for providing us the best experience in Varanasi. It is like of your family has been welcoming you and presenting you the city. I found the agency by references on the internet, without any previous recommendation. Therefore, I leave here my review reinforcing the great service of VaranasiDayTours. > Amazing Customer Service > Great knowledgeable and kind Guides > Great Transfer Car and Driver > Great Tour options > Worth it price _________________________________________ The Service provided began with excellence from the moment of the first contact.

Very good way to experience Varanasi - We had booked a tour group trip which did not include Varanasi and as this was to us, an important place to visit, decided to do it ourselves by booking with Varanasi Tours. Having spent 14 days with a super guide getting us around, we had concerns as to whether this next part would work out. We need not have worried... our airport pick up was ready and waiting, the guides were informative, timed each thing to our advantage and gave us a comprehensive insight of this important Hindu place in a short space of time. We are very pleased we did it and would certainly recommend this company.

Exploring Benaras as a first time solo traveler - I would highly recommend the company for not just a first-time visit to Varanasi but also the seasoned ones. I spent a day and a half in the city with the sole aim of relaxing, unwinding and walking by the ghats of this beautiful city. Kunal (a veteran in the sector and a local) and his colleagues ensured that the itinerary was customized to my liking as well as maximized on the short time spent in the city. We did a mix of temples, ghats, boat rides and a fun food tour in what is probably on my list of cities one needs to repeatedly visit to truly get the essence of the place. Not once did I feel unsafe or hesitant during the time spent there and would recommend this company even for female solo travelers.
