Get a great guide to not only tell you the history, but to safely help navigate through the maze of streets in old Varanasi. Take a sunrise boat ride on the Ganag, and watch the cremation ceremonies at sunset. We even enjoyed a rooftop coffee stop.

Varanasi is a must for Hindus and anyone else interested in Indian history and culture. I went as a solo female traveler and would recommend booking a private or group tour to take you to all the sites that you want to see.

I visited the town after 20 years. It has become very clean. It looks like cleanliness has gone into habit of the local people and the visitors

Incredible City with temple, divine, peace, mouthwatering food, famous shopping
"Though a beautiful property and had a pleasant stay. Staff at the reception can have smiling faces. Though it hardly matters but we didn’t get our welcome gift."
"The property is very good, clean and proximity to the areas of interest. However the approach road and the surroundings aren’t clean.
The local transport auto rickshaw that the property coordinated duped me by driving around town for a 5 mins walk "
"I had an outstanding experience at this hotel, thanks to the exceptional service provided by the staff. They were incredibly friendly, professional, and very helpful, going above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable. The food was not only delicious but also reasonably priced. With 24-hour security, I felt safe and at ease. What truly made this hotel stand out was the warm hospitality, making me feel like I was home. I would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel and give it a well-deserved 5/5 star rating."
"I stayed at SadaShiv guest house in May for about a week. The guesthouse is top notch. It is very clean and very well taken care of by the staff. They were always available for help and the quality was 5 stars. The room was very clean and comfortable. Vishal, who was the staff, was the most exceptional member of the staff. He was very helpful at each step and everyday. I appreciate the kindness and the hospitality of everyone here. I would definitely recommend this place to friends."
"All Good at Sri Oskar Palace. Since it was not high season My Aircon no-river view was complementarily upgraded, to A Riverview room complete with a great shared balcony. They were really good at getting me from and back to the airport with the taxi service. My only issue, and it is not the fault of the hotel, was the aggressive monkeys. They would come onto the balcony and at first, be cute. I made the mistake of letting one sip some beer I poured for it on the top of the wall. It made a great Social Media post, but the next day, two monkeys joined me up on the balcony, and I didn’t have any beer!! They were not happy and acted out towards me… I Didn’t feel totally safe up there after that… Don’t give ANYTHING to the monkeys! Have breakfast away from the edge on the rooftop, because monkeys jumped on our tables and made a mess and broke glasses all over the floor…"
