• Trip to Varanasi
Yattri's contact Ms Varsha was in constant touch everyday and ready to help. Driver 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 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.

Horrible trip experience ever had in my life
Our experience with Yattri Tours, Varanasi was shocking and distressing. We were locked inside their office on the payment day and forced to pay extra despite multiple service breaches. We paid for 3-star accommodation but were given a poor-quality hotel, and even the Ganga boat was damaged. Instead of apologizing, MD Kasiff misbehaved, causing medical distress to my mother. Even now, they are pre (Read More)ssuring us to remove our review. This is unacceptable, unsafe, and disgraceful in a holy city. Extremely dissatisfied — tourists should think twice before choosing Yattri. Strict action from UP Tourism is needed.
VERY DISSATISFIED
I strongly advise everyone not to choose Yattri Tours & Travels, Varanasi. Our experience was terrifying and deeply disappointing. We were locked inside their office on the day of payment and forced to pay extra, even though Yattri had breached multiple service commitments. We had paid for 3-star hotels but were placed in poor-quality accommodations, and even the boat provided for the Ganga ride was damaged, risking our safety. Instead of apologizing, the MD, Mr. Kasiff, behaved rudely and disrespectfully, which left my mother traumatized and in medical distress.
What’s worse, Yattri staff are now pressuring us to delete our reviews rather than owning up to their misconduct. Such behavior from a travel company in a holy city like Varanasi is unacceptable and dangerous. Tourists should think twice before choosing Yattri — your family’s safety and peace of mind are far more valuable. Strict action by UP Tourism is urgently needed.

• Trip to Lucknow, Varanasi, Bodhgaya, Patna
The first person who is related to Yatri, Varanasi met on 20th Oct was Mr Sonu, 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 (Read More)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.
Some of the bathrooms were slippery.
