An Amazing Tour That Exceed Expectations
After learning about Roobaroo Walks on Tripadvisor, we sent them an inquiry at 9:30am and by 2:30 we were enjoying a private customized tour. Akshat’s enthusiasm for the history, colors and textures of Varanasi was infectious and he struck the perfect balance between keeping us on task with our requested agenda and providing us the space to connect with locals, take lots of pictures and explore the areas that captured our fancy.
Ticks all boxes
I visited Varanasi with my family comprising of senior citizens and child, I had apprehensions about the visit (crowd, narrow streets etc.) but the whole tour was impeccably organised.
