Reviews of our Varanasi Tours for Winter
Feedback from guests whose tour started in/around Varanasi during Winter.
Margherita C. | Traveled in February
What a wonderful adventure and experience. Out tour guide Ashish was magnificent and always cared about our wellbeing and happiness. The Taj Mahal and Ganges river were both moving moments in my life. I have no words for the emotions I felt seeing the bengal tiger in the wild. The people were warm and friendly and the food most enjoyable. Hotels and busses were clean and comfortable. I do have one suggestion… include ALL tips in the price except the tour guide. This makes it so much easier for everyone. (this is how another tour company I travel with does it-they took our suggestion) As this is not an adventure for everyone, it has been a lifelong dream of mine to visit India . I am still on in awe reliving the journey in my mind and heart!
Sara T. | Traveled in January
The trip was amazing, we saw some many wonderful sights. Our tour guide was excellent, extremely knowledgeable, friendly and caring with a great sense of humour. He made the trip really special.
Elizabeth S. | Traveled in January
Excellent LIFE changing tour!!! Most memorable experience was to see the way of life of the locals. SO VERY different than our own here. Wow! Unbelievable!! Tour manager, Indie, phenomenal ♥️ Just please sign and go! You WILL NOT regret it.
Kwong C. | Traveled in January
The tour was excellent as a whole, so was the tour manager Anshuman Tripathi (Indie). He single-handedly made the tour much more enjoyable with his caring personalilty, always working extra to make sure our welfare was well taken care of. 3 suggestions to improve the tour are 1) add another day in Delhi so we can visit more attractions (Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, India Gate, Agrasen Ki Baoli, Lotus Temple, Qutub Minar), 2) optional night tour of Jaipur (Royal Gaitor Tumbas, Nahargarh Fort, Hawa Mahal, Birla Temple, Albert Hall Museum), and 3) the optional Nepal tour should end in Kathmandu, i.e., not requiring travellers to fly back to Delhi. Finally, I hope Collete will organize tours to the southern part of India and Sri Lanka.
Cristina Villani | Traveled in February
Everything was flawless from start to finish! Our guide Vikram was intelligent, adaptable, and humorous, keeping us engaged all day. The driver Swati was incredibly accommodating, ensuring that my friend and I felt safe and well cared for throughout the journey. It was an unforgettable experience! I would go there again some time next year. Probably with Odynovo next time!
Lily Tadayyon Kregenow | Traveled in February
We had an incredible 10-day tour of the "golden triangle" in northern India with this tour company. Our driver made the trip truly amazing. He went above and beyond every single day at every single turn. He is so thoughtful and kind and was always accommodating to our wishes. He could just magically make things happen when asked. For example, when he found out that we had upcoming birthdays he called ahead at the lunch spots and had cake and flowers waiting to surprise us. He has such an incredible grasp of the country and timelines that he managed to accomplish everything on my super overpacked itinerary. He is a true gem! The best driver we have ever had in all of the trips we have ever done!
