Guest reviews from travelers on City sightseeing tours in and around Varanasi
James F. | Traveled in November
This tour took us by surprise. We were hesitant of choosing India but this trip was amazing. The itinerary is jammed packed every day with something different. I will warn you this itinerary has ALOT of walking and you will sometimes be in chaos you could not even imagine. This trip is definitely an adventure of a lifetime.
Sandra S. | Traveled in October
It was a very full on itinerary, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Unfortunately due to the heavy traffic we spent a lot of time on the bus. Our tour guide reminded us that this is India, became known as TII. My highlight was definitely the Taj Mahal, however every city we visited had a highlight. Our tour guide was very helpful, professional and diplomatic. A smile on his face at all times. Can thoroughly recommend.
Emily J. | Traveled in July
This tour gave me a complete taste of India, from the bustling streets of Delhi to the serene backwaters of Kerala. Every destination was thoughtfully planned and the local experiences were exceptional.
Richard K. | Traveled in May
Trafalgar does an awesome job of visiting key sites, providing locals experiences and exposing you to the toughside of India. When you complete your journey you feel like you've been exposed to the "real" India. I don't know of any other tour company that does this & I'm not sure every traveler is up to this approach but I treasured the experience.
Simon P. | Traveled in April
An awesome tour. Our guide, added an amazing level to the experience by telling stories about what we were about to see. His knowledge was astounding. Him and the team also managed all the logistics so well. Trip of a lifetime!
Anonymous | Traveled in April
Went in April. It was hot but few other tourists that made getting in and seeing attractions easier. Tour guide great. The Indian people very gracious and helpful. The Taj Mahal ethereal and spectacular. We were told only 30% of people see tigers and we saw 6! We had good Karma. The Ganges is to be experienced. Practical stuff; bottled water was provided, and I didn’t have to use 1 squat toilet. Bring TP and wipes. Do not leave airport lobby until ready to leave. They will not let you back in!
