    Walk Old Town and along the Ganges with a Native

    Our guide was Rahul Pandey who met us at our hotel on our first day which included the cremations by the Ganges. It was an awesome experience with lots of walking and stairs. The car was a bit banged up and we kept the same car and driver. There was no airport pickup or drop off included in the package. The second day we were told to meet in the lobby at 5am for the sunrise over the Ganges. The driver came without Rahul 45 minutes late. Rahul met us at the ceremony, but it had already begun. We went back to the hotel after the ceremony and were picked up later for the Durga Temple and the evening ceremony. The third day was shorter and included a great Ganges Boat Ride. We were ready to leave early, but it took awhile to find Rahul after the ceremony and then it took a long time and lots of walking before the driver picked us up. We had extra days in Varanasi, so we arranged a different tour directly with Rahul and not Viator, payment had to be in cash. The location was a ways out of the city and we were charged $200 for the driver plus a fee for Rahul. The driver and vehicle were different, but we stopped at least 6 times for LG gas and we had to get out of the car each time, which added to an already long day. Rahul as a Varanasi native has a true love for the city and knows it well. It could have been a 5 star tour if it wasn’t for the driver and car issues. This was the only tour that we found that was for more than just one day. Rahul truly has a love for Varanasi!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Helen, for your review and kind words. It was a pleasure to be your guide and friend during your stay in Varanasi. As you rightly say, the tours I offer are exclusive and unique in Varanasi; no one else provides the service I offer to travelers. I love my city and I love sharing every corner, its customs, rituals, traditions, and history with anyone who comes to Kashi eager to experience this holy city authentically and who has enough time to explore it at a leisurely pace. I am truly sorry for the transportation issues and any problems or dissatisfaction they may have caused you. I will strive to improve this aspect from now on so that my service is always of the highest standard. Namastè

    Look no further than Rahul for your guide 😀

    Back in November 2018 me and two friends soent 3 days and nights in Varanasi... the most unreal experience, loved every minute! If you are looking for a guide to show you around Varanasi then look no further than Rahul. Rahul is kind and patient (we stopped for many photos) and takes you to great spots for photos too. He is so passionate and knowledgeable about his home city and surroundings. His guided tour is full of highlights and even places not visited by other tour guides. Everything is arranged by Rahul, airport pickup and drop off, tuk tuks, boat rides etc so we did not have to worry about anything. He took us to see how the beautiful silks are made and to a spices and aromatherapy oils shop which was a delight. I cannot tell you how much having Rahul as our guide helped make our Varanasi experience so fantastic. I loved every minute of my 3 days here. I promise you he will make your stay an enjoyable and stress free one as he looks after you so well. So I can say if your looking for a fabulous guy to show you around then look no further! Thankyou Rahul for everything. Jo x

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review and your kind words, my friend. It is always a pleasure to share time with people who appreciate India and its culture and traditions. I want my guests to feel at home, safe and happy for the entire duration of their stay in my beloved Varanasi and I put all my heart into making it so. I want to create a round experience that you can remember for the rest of your life. It makes me happy to know that it has been so. Hoping to see you again soon through the alleys of Kashi! Namasté

    Live a round experience in Varanasi. 3 Days Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Varanasi.

    How much does Live a round experience in Varanasi. 3 Days Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $302 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Varanasi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Live a round experience in Varanasi. 3 Days Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Varanasi is not rushed.

    Is Live a round experience in Varanasi. 3 Days Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Varanasi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Live a round experience in Varanasi. 3 Days Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Live a round experience in Varanasi. 3 Days Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Live a round experience in Varanasi. 3 Days Tour?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Varanasi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Varanasi and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Live a round experience in Varanasi. 3 Days Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Varanasi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Varanasi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Varanasi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hidden Secrets of Varanasi: Vibrant Tradition (Guided Tour), The Ultimate 1 Day in Varanasi - How to Spend 13 Hours - Private Guided Tour, A Journey of A lifetime. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Varanasi?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Varanasi?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
