Eye Opening Experience of Buddhism History

Published on Nov, 2019

This was our second tour with You Tours, we are glad that we have done this experience. We are so amazed by the depth of history and religious legacy. Our guide Jain was superb, he let us calmly see the each sight, able to answers all our questions. Everyone must do this experience while visiting Varanasi to understand the importance of this beautiful religion.
