Unprofessional. We did not take the boat . A day before the ride a person from yo tour called up to say that we need to pay 5000 rs extra . We refused . When we reached the tour site - we were told that it is cancelled as we did not psy up the extra amount . We need a totsl refund . Ver very unprofessional
Minesh was great! I wished the boat ride was a little longer. It focused on the crematory. I also wish we saw the Ganga aarti show from the boat, but I got lucky and got a nice view!
If you're an international tourist interested in seeing the aarti, I highly recommend this tour. The guide ensured I had a front row seat to what is a very very crowded event. We weren't able to go on a boat due to high water levels on the Ganges, but the tour was great nonetheless.
We're glad you enjoyed the aarti experience and the efforts our guide made to provide you with a front-row seat. We apologize for the boat issue and hope to welcome you back for another great tour in the future.
