5Perfect!
Kunal, our guide, is a thorough professional and he often went out of his way to accommodate our requests. We had a wonderful time.
5An Amazing & Hassle-Free Varanasi Experience
We had an amazing experience in Varanasi! The entire trip was very comfortable, well-guided and flexible, especially as we were travelling with senior citizens. Everything was planned around our comfort, so there was absolutely no hassle. We loved exploring the temples, learning about our heritage and traditions, watching the beautiful silk weaving, shopping for authentic products, and visiting Sarnath. The guidance throughout made exploring the city so easy and enjoyable. A truly memorable and well-organised experience. Highly recommended!
5Amazing time with Hemant
I had a great experience with the travel. Hemant explained all the cultural nuances that helped me appreciate Varanasi. He also helped navigate a city that could be overwhelming to foreigners. I saw the different parts of Hindu pilgrimage up close and personal. He was also accommodating with schedules as I had a flight to catch. I would definitely recommend the this to others - helps cover all the highlights.
4Awesome learning experience, lots of walking
We visited Sarnath and saw various temples and ghats, aarti ceremony (from a docked boat), two boat rides (afternoon, early morning), and a very long walk through local markets in hot weather (can't be avoided). Included food tasting at spots where locals frequent.
5Nice experience
It was a good experience of visiting Varanasi. The tour guide was knowledgeable. It was a nice Ganga Aarti and good food.
5Best private tour Varanasi, great value for money!
Experience with Kunal was 5 stars!! He is an amazing storyteller, very kind, and always making sure the guests are feeling well and enjoying the tour. He is also flexible and can adapt the tour with our own wills. I definitely recommend the tour as he takes us to not only most touristic attractions but also to see and live the local real life of Varanasi.

About Varanasi
Varanasi, on the Ganges in Uttar Pradesh, is one of the oldest living cities in the world, a sacred place of river steps, temples and silk looms.
Varanasi, also called Benares or Kashi, has been a place of pilgrimage for thousands of years, and Hindus come to bathe in the Ganges, to pray, and to die. Along the west bank, about eighty ghats, broad stone stairways, descend to the water, among them Dashashwamedh Ghat, where lamps and chanting mark the evening aarti ceremony. The Kashi Vishwanath Temple, dedicated to Shiva, stands in the old city's maze of narrow lanes.
Top-ranked sights in Varanasi: Manikarnika Ghat, Dashashwamedh Ghat, Ganges River (Ganga).
