- Ring· July 24th, 2025This short but powerful trip gave us a deep insight into one of India’s oldest cities. From the moment we arrived, Anuj made sure we were comfortable and had a clear schedule. He arranged for a local guide who was very knowledgeable about the history and rituals. The boat ride at sunrise was breathtaking a must-do! And the ritual cremation at Manikarnika Ghat was humbling and spiritual. Shyam, our driver, made everything stress-free despite the chaotic traffic. He also suggested a fantastic street food spot we never would’ve found ourselves.Show more
Memorable India Journeys commented on this reviewWe're so glad you enjoyed the Varanasi Tours! Our team works hard to ensure every detail is perfect. Thank you for highlighting it.Trip date: July 2025 - Rubina· July 16th, 2025Varanasi is unlike any place on earth — ancient, spiritual, and deeply moving. This exclusive 3-day tour gave us the perfect introduction to the soul of India. We were welcomed by Arun, who explained the itinerary in detail and even recommended a private Ganga boat ride at dawn. Our driver, Sukhveer, was exceptional — kind, respectful, and knew the city’s narrow alleys like the back of his hand. That was important in a place like Varanasi! Watching the evening Ganga Aarti was magical. We also visited Sarnath and explored the silk weaving areas. The hotel was right along the ghats, which gave us quiet but accessible views.Show moreMemorable India Journeys commented on this reviewThank you for taking the time to provide your feedback.

- Krishna· July 3rd, 2025Varanasi was everything we expected—chaotic, spiritual, and unforgettable. Raj at Memorable India put together a well-balanced 3-day plan that allowed us to explore, reflect, and rest. Our driver, Sukhveer, was courteous and patient as we visited ghats, temples, and markets. The sunrise boat ride and the Ganga Aarti were truly surreal experiences. Our local guide even took us to the silk-weaving alleys, which were mesmerizing. Thank you for organizing such a powerful cultural immersion.Show moreMemorable India Journeys commented on this reviewDear Krishna Thanks for your excellent feedback.
