Pure magic

Highly recommend this tour. Sapan helped me get all the great photos, explained cultural nuances, talked philosophy, and helped me get oriented in a strange and exotic city I felt like a deer in the headlights in. Varanasi is pure magic.

Spectacular experience in Varanasi!

This was one of my favorite experiences in Varanasi - peaceful and beautiful moments on the historical Ganges. The photos and memories are amazing. The guide, Indrajeet Kumar, was professional and personable. He educated about the ghats and the significance of the Ganges and Varanasi in Indian culture. His stories helped bring the experience to life. He gave helpful advice about other activities and experiences too. I particularly liked the row boat over a motor boat - I was able to see the entire stretch of ghats from different views. The communication and pick up / drop off was superb. I highly recommend - don’t miss this experience!

We had a great time on this tour. The guide did a good job of educating us on the area and it was very interesting seeing the ghats from the river in the morning. We also did an evening tour with the same company and the contrast between morning and evening was very neat to see. There was a temple/mosque that we tried to see, but were unable as we didn't bring our passports. You may wish to ask your guide about this before starting the day as well, so you are properly prepared. As a first time visitor to Varanasi, I would recommend this tour to others as well.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
