        Recommended day trip varanasi to bodhgaya
        Very nice tour to Bodhgaya from Varanasi in a day. The drive is long but the driver was excellent. The guide was very knowledgeable and respectful and friendly we could not ask for anything else. They allowed us to change the date of the trip with a very short notice due to an inconvenient, this was very kind. The experience was enriched by meeting them so we could deepen some our understanding of some expects of the hindu and Uttar pradeshi culture too. We loved how the tour was organized and we stopped for breakfast and dinner, no one rushed us even if it got a little late. We do recommend this tour ato anyone who has an extra day to spend outside varanasi. The car new clean and comfortable! excellent!

      Anmol is a friendly and very knowledgeable guide. He met us at our accommodation at 5.30am and took us on a boat ride on the Ganges and gave us a tour in Sarnath with another guide. Aircon bus and chilled water was provided in the 45 degree heat, tickets were pre-booked which saved time. Excellent tour and would recommend him to friends.

      We took a day trip through Varanasi. Something that is absolutely essential to visit any city in India, so you can truly experience its culture and history. The tour also includes taxi rides, with air conditioning and complimentary bottles of water, amenities that appreciate in the heat of the city. Our Guide, Anmol, was very friendly and gave us explanations throughout the tour, he also speaks Spanish. He also introduced us to some people to learn more about specific aspects of Varanasi, such as different religions and silk tradition.

      Adorei o passeio por Varanasi com o Anmol. Fizemos o passeio com barco, logo apos o amanhecer, passando pelos principais Gates, no Ganges. E na sequĂŞncia, percorremos alguns templos budistas e hindus. Um passeio cheio de histĂłria, curiosidades e religiĂŁo.

      I loved the tour of Varanasi with Anmol. We took a boat next the sunrise, passing through the main Gates on the Ganges. And then, we visited some Buddhist and Hindu temples. A tour full of history, curiosities and religion.

      Our day was stunning! I couldn't feel more blessed being at a special place with a such a kind guide! Amnol was very friendly, knew deeply about the culture, and gave us the full experience. We were so thankful for him having us today! We really recommend his service to anyone. He has a good English and speaks another language. He offers us a tour with a comfortable car including AC (considering the hot weather it helped a lot). Amnol thank you very much! Namaste!

      First of all, I must say that Sanjay is a wonderful person. His explanation and knowledge of historical places is tremendous. I also have great respect for his devotion to his own culture and religion. He definitely does his job properly. But we couldn't make it to the morning ganga aarti, which was on the travel list and which I wanted to watch very much. Because the driver arrived almost half an hour late. It was stated in many comments that the same problem was experienced. This is the only point I will deduct and You should also state that travel expenses for the evening ceremony are included. Because in the description it is written that we will go by car and then be dropped off home. .Other than that everything was okay. Also thanks to sanjay.
