Review of Varanasi’s evening Ganga Aarti tour, with a private boat, guided ghat walk, balcony seating, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“Guide was good and the person whole made arrangement to get to the ghat was good. Everything else was below average. - Promised a seat in the balcony - bum it got to sit on the stairs - Paid about 4k per person - but locally there are many options available in less than one-fourth of the price. - Boat is a small boat in a bad shape with no top - it’s an open boat. Expected better boat quality”

“Guide Raj was amazing. I had a great afternoon. He coordinated in detail the day before. I got to the meeting point early, so before the tour officially began, Raj showed me places that were not in the itinerary. The cultural and historical insights that Raj provided were valuable. The boat ride was great too and we got off at multiple ghats to have a quick look (which wasn’t also part of the original itinerary). I highly recommend this tour and guide Raj”

“Our guide Anuj Singh was helpful and informative regarding Varanasi's history. Boat ride was quite brief and boat pilot struggled to get away from the mooring for quite sometime. In truth we could have taken ourself to the evening performance because it was a general free for all.”
Watch Varanasi’s sunset from a private boat, explore sacred lanes, and enjoy reserved seating for the unforgettable Ganga Aarti.
“The whole experience was great, Suhail was an exceptional guide and walked us through everything very well. He also clicked very good pictures of us and knew the exact time we had to sit for ganga aarti and got us splendid seats to watch from. Overall a highly recommended activity if you are in Varanasi.”
