Every thing was just perfect- right from the arrangements, to actually being there for us, to ensuring we were very well taken care off. This trip became very special
I had visited Varanasi when I was a young girl. In 2026 after 3 decades got to visit Varanasi again now as a spiritual retreat. It is the most sacred experience. The whole place is changed from the narrow lanes to more open . The ghats are an experience by itself. Not to miss the dip in the holy Ganga. The evening arti is just mesmerising. The local food is amazing. If you happen to visit don't miss kachori and aloo sabji. The Jelabi and the Rabdi are a must try.
Thank you
We were introduced to Neleesh through a common friend and it was the best decision since we had under 24 hours in Kashi. Neleesh planned our entire itinerary so meticulously that we were amazed at how much he packed in with the few hours we had available. Right from the boat ride and him explaining the history of every ghat; to the evening Aarti which he organised for us to perform with the priest and a front row seating at Dhasawamedh ghat amongst thousands of spectators to the early morning rudrabhishek puja at Kashi Vishwanath. Last but not the least was giving us the flavors of Benaras with kachori and Kala chana breakfast, the malai toast and chai at Laxmi tea center and not to miss the malaiyo. He would’ve loved for us to have the puri subzi too but we were too stuffed and I had to make a last minute pitstop for some benarasi saree shopping. A visit to Benaras with Neleesh as your wingman is the best decision and I would highly recommend it. P.S he’s an ex radio jockey so his gift of gab is top notch h as is his command over English 😁
Dear Sona ji, Thank you so much for your lovely review of the services I provided during your short visit to my beloved city. It was truly a joint effort to make your trip memorable as it coincided with your anniversary. Thanks once again, and I look forward to the opportunity to serve you again in the near future whenever you visit my city. Regards, Neelesh Sinha
I had the most wonderful time with Neelesh touring Varanasi for the day. It was incredible to have someone with such knowledge of his hometown to share the experience with. He is also very funny and a warm person who makes you feel secure in a busy city, which is particularly great when traveling solo. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Neelesh.

Neelesh is a fantastic guide. He will bring you indeed to the best places and will provide you with the most essential information. But he will also show you some unusual aspects of daily life in Varasani. He is kind and thoughtful. He is extremely pleasant to have as a guide, as he will not overwhelm and bombard you with talks. He will pay attention to what you like and are keen to see and will adapt and modify his itinerary accordingly. I only spent 24 hours over the week-end after a business trip in Delhi during the week. I will definitely come back. My heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Neelesh.
I highly recommend Nilesh. It is not only for his extensive knowledge and passion for Vanarasi, but his kindness and willingness to help. He tailored for me a two full days tour, which were exceptional!
I had a brilliant tour with Neelesh. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about Varanasi. I learnt about the history, religious beliefs, and philosophy. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Varanasi - you’re in for a treat
We had a great time with Neelesh, enjoyed learning from his broad knowledge about the local culture and history and from his nice company. We highly recommend Neelesh
Neelesh is a wonderful guide. He takes you around Varanasi and lets you ease in into the atmosphere. He’s very knowledgeable about the history and the culture of the city and will allow you to understand and appreciate everything that is going on around you.
Visiting Varanasi was a profound experience made even better by Neelesh, who was our fantastic guide. He explained so much and had great patience when answering our many questions. Thx again.
