A Definite Must

“This tour was the highlight of our time in Varanasi over the weekend. Great way to see Old Varanasi and Bharat was an excellent guide with very insightful commentary of the history and points of interest. Fantastic breakfast and opportunities to purchase things on the way, the Spice Market was brilliant and took home lovely flavoured tea and spices for cooking curries at home.
Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Varanasi, a definite must!!!”
