A must do experience offering a different t perspective - After having seen the Aarti and other sights from walking along the banks and ghats, this boating tour offered a fresh and different perspective. Amongst the numerous boats on the river, you get to see it all. It was great being able to make an offering from the boat to the wonderful river. Our guide was knowledge, friendly and great communicator. It was safe and comfortable.

Varanasi where your heart and soul meets - Varanasi is beautiful in the winters. The gaga Aarti at Assi ghat in the morning is over rated. The boat ride upto Namo ghat in the morning and evening is a must as it’s different experience. The mankarnika ghat has become tourist attraction, however the energy is very different their and do not go without proper preparation and information. Check YouTube for that. We stayed at this beautiful Ashirwad home stay , wonderful place and wonderful service. Must check out if you are looking for home away from home. Close to most areas and away from the noise of Varanasi. Kashi Vishwanath was the highlight of the trip. Do go for the mangala aarti at 2 am. Worth it. It’s a food paradise and go with local recommendations. Don’t forget to have Banarasi paan.

Adapt the tour to the corconstances - Because of the unusual traffic in Varanasi, it was necessary to shorten the boat tour, on the orders of the authorities. To “kill time” Rahul gave me a guided walking tour around the absolutely fascinating Tulsi ghat, off the beaten track. It was very interesting. The rest of the tour according to my expectations, with the nice boat tour, and all the surprising information about the cremation, among others. Thank you Rahul!

Not up to the mark - The boat was very small that too uncovered. It was about to rain so we wanted a covered boat. With the price we paid we did not expect a boat like that.

Cancelled 4 minutes before start of tour - total scam and waste of time - We booked and travelled 1 hour to the meeting point for a 5:00pm start. We waited for 20 minutes and no one arrived only to check my email to find a cancellation notification at 4:56pm (4 minutes before the tour was meant to start). No prior warning or communication. Terrible

These guys bailed on us.... - These guys bailed on us. We showed up at the meetup and waited and waited. I had to call their head office in Bangkok to get ahold of someone, and when they finally reached out, they said that their boat had been damaged two days earlier and they couldn't give us a tour. They told us they tried reaching out via WhatsApp, and couldn't get through to us. It is true, we had given them our American cell phone number, and not the number we were using on WhatsApp. However, we booked through this app —why not reach out here? It was very disappointing.

Total waste of money! Stay Away! - The vendor did not offer any pick up services and the pick up point requires you to take a long walk through a few cremation ghats where some serious strong smoke was blowing in the air. When we got to the boat, they didn’t even stop to allow for time to sink in the scene and pictures. The Aarti was okay - originally the plan was to sit there on the boat for an hour to watch it but it’s completely blocked by other boats anyways.
