This was hands down the worst trip of my life. I booked a full package with Yattri, which was supposed to cover Varanasi, Vrindavan, Mathura, and Agra. Unfortunately, the entire experience was a disas (Read More)ter. Before the tour, Yattri provided a long list of attractions and activities in the itinerary, promising to cover them all in just five days. As a first-time visitor, I trusted them to guide me properly. However, it quickly became clear that their itinerary was completely unrealistic. We ended up missing 80% of the promised sights. I felt misled from the start. The hotel in Varanasi was another disappointment. It barely met the standards of a 3-star hotel and was located far outside the city center, in a desolate area with hardly any dining options nearby. It felt isolated and uncomfortable. Then there was our so-called "guide" in Varanasi. He lacked any sense of professionalism or planning. Instead of helping us make the most of our limited time, he acted more like a mere driver, leaving us to figure out what to do on our own. I expected guidance and expertise but got none of that. It was a complete waste. The worst part of all was in Agra. I had made it clear to Yattri that the sole reason for adding Agra to my itinerary was to do a pre-wedding shoot at the Taj Mahal. But when we reached Agra, we were shocked to find out that the Taj Mahal was closed that day. We had no choice but to cancel our shoot. When we raised this issue with Yattri, they kept us hanging until 2 a.m., giving us fake email addresses to complain to and feeding us false information. They completely ruined our night. To add insult to injury, instead of offering a fair reimbursement or extending our trip as requested, they only refunded the Taj Mahal entry fee—a mere ₹500. Is my pre-wedding shoot worth just ₹500 to them? They even stopped answering our calls when we asked them to help with new travel arrangements. I strongly urge everyone to avoid Yattri if you don’t want to waste your time, money, and peace of mind. They are nothing but scammers who care nothing about customer satisfaction. Don’t let them cheat you like they did me!

Yattri Tour operator was a saving grace when I was looking for local guided tour [group of 4 ppl] for Varanasi - Ayodhya - Mahakumb(Prayagraj). Sales representative Roshini approached me and helped in (Read More) framing right itinerary. Driver Sonu was from Varanasi who had through knowledge of these places and provided required assistance in Darshan as well. The vehicle provided [Ertiga] was in good condition and we had a smooth travel experience. Mr.Kasif was very flexible and understood client needs, he gave us Camp/Tent accommodation at Prayagraj which was wonderful. After the holy dip we spent rest of the day in the camp where evening Ganga Aarti was arranged - a lifetime memorable experience. Thank you very much!

Delhi Agra Jaipur Varanasi Allahabad Mathura were the places planned in the trip for our parents. Since our parents were aged we were worried they alone travelling however Kasif planned and took care (Read More)of the entire trip so very well. We felt was the best decision we made for our trip. They are exceptionally organized. The booking process was seamless and they accommodated our numerous changes to our itinerary. The local guides on the various parts of our tour were outstanding. We had a driver for the duration of our tour who drove well and ensured that we were comfortable at all times. The vehicle that we drove in was clean and air conditioned. I would highly recommend booking a tour through Yattri.
