Three things that matter most.
Normal-day Prayagraj is compact and inexpensive; Mela-season Prayagraj becomes a temporary city. A good guide has to separate those two realities instead of pretending the same route works year-round. For museums, CityMitra prioritises collection focus, time needed, accessibility.
