Thank you Tinku and his friends from Vietnam

We are group of 6 middle-age male people first time travelling to India. We spent 2 days in Varanasi in December 2022 where we had interesting experience there with the tour guiding service of Tinku and his partners from Kashi Temple Tours. They are so helpful and have a deep knowledge of Varanasi and India to share with customers. Tinku knows the city very well. He took us to many temples, ghat and restaurants. He explained many rituals to us and the religious meaning of things we would have not known without him. Tinku and his partners are very honest in sharing information and helping us to have an enjoyable trip. We unfortunately missed our flight in Varanasi airport but with the help of Kashi Temple Tours we instead booked the night trip bus from Varanasi to Agra and it turned out a very nice experience. We highly recommend anyone to visit Varanasi to book the guiding service from Kashi Temple Tours to have a nice stay in Varanasi. Thank you so much Tinku and your friends!
