Yattri's contact Ms Varsha was in constant touch everyday and ready to help. Dri (Read More)ver and guide Mr Sonu was very helpful and loaded with information. Overall, the trip was value for money ?
One of the hotel in Varanasi, "Vikram", the room was good, but the food was not (Read More)ok. Both of us had stomach upset, hence we had to request for change of accommodation. Flight was booked by Spicejet, who suddenly cancelled the flight and we had to spend one more day in Varanasi. Even on the next day, the flight was delayed by over 3 hours.

The first person who is related to Yatri, Varanasi met on 20th Oct was Mr Sonu, (Read More)Driver at Varanasi Airport. Almost for the entire day through some hours of the night also he spent his time with us. As more than a driver he is a very good tourist guide. The hotels in which we stayed, from where we had our lunch or other food items all had very good liaison with Mr Sonu. More than the other persons like wheelchair walas, guides, poojaries etc. etc. he keeps very good relationship. The cleanliness in all restaurants is of high order. regularly supplied ingredient in any time food, which is not very palatable to all of us. The food that we had from any hotel for that matter was very good except for Paneer was a regular supplied. Overall the percentage of marks the whole set of people who provided the service was of high rank, say 80-85%. We will remember you throughout and also recommend other known tourist to contact when needed. We all wish the team of yaatri be the best tour operators in your region.
The bed materials like blankets were not of good standard in some hotel-rooms. (Read More) Some of the bathrooms were slippery.

Athula • 8 months ago

Overall planning was good. but execution needs further improvement. We had sligh (Read More)t hitches here and there with respect to hotel arrangements. The conveyance arranged was fine and the driver was skilled and well mannered, though slightly lacking in punctuality. The tour organisers were very cordial, polite and receptive to our suggestions. One suggestion is for the tour operator to coordinate with the hotels and detail the plans before the guests arrive so that no confusion arises at the reception counter on arrival. Overall I will give a rating of 8/10
