The guide Mr Vinod Kumar was very very helpful to the last extent, especially with senior citizens like me and my sister. He picked us from the hotel punctually and again dropped us inspite of bad roads. He explained every detail of every monument and clicked our photos to make the trip memorable. My thanks to him and the trip advisor.
Indrajeet Kumar is a wonderful guide! He is calm, courteous and well versed in all the details of Indian culture, philosophy and history. We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of the Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple, the Benares University grounds, and the Varanasi lanes/ghats. We highly recommend his services!
We hired Indrejeet initially to do our Morning tour on the Ganges. Because of flooding the boat tour was changed to a walking tour of the city. Although I was disappointed at first, the walking tour turned out to be one of the best overall city tours I have had. Indrajeet was an excellent guide and took us through the ghats and temples, Explaining the extensive history history and religious background of what we were seeing. It made it a truly significant experience. At the end of our walking tour,Indrajeet offered to take us on a tour of Sarnath which is where the Buddha delivered his first sermon. It is one of the holiest places in the world for Buddhists. Indrajeet was a great guide offering important information about the architecture and meaning of what we were seeing. I would absolutely recommend him as a guide.
Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your review! It was a pleasure to guide you through the city and share the history and religious significance of the ghats and temples. Although the boat tour had to be changed due to flooding, I'm glad that the walking tour ended up being one of your best city tours. It was also great to take you to Sarnath, which is such an important place for Buddhists. I appreciate your recommendation and hope to guide you again in the future. Kind Regards, Indrajeet Kumar
The guide was waiting in the hotel foyer at the time we chose (communication was via WhatsApp the day before the scheduled tour) He spoke good English and took us places we would never have found by ourselves, giving us the confidence to return by ourselves on later days. He explained what we were seeing and answered all our questions, and the three hours flew by. We can highly recommend this tour.

Varanasi is considered to be one of the oldest cities in humanity. Bathed in the Ganges, Hindus come to purify themselves and die. I was in early August 2019, together with my family and the experience was good. In the afternoon we were approached by the river and walked a walk along with the pilgrims, where a ritual was performed on the shore, which we saw. The next morning we took a boat ride along the Ganges and wandered through the streets near the river. Always with the guide who controlled the route to follow. On the streets you can find everything: Snake charmers Cows and bulls At no point did we feel any danger.

I discovered Varanasi through a walk with Raghaw Rahi, a very professional and friendly guide. I got to know unimaginable places, hidden traditions, amazing people, and, above all, a living city. That's how I fell in love with Varanasi.

<p>Great walking tour,good guide,very interesting information along the way.the only thing ineould change is the stop at the temple is really not interesting since you get to see a shop and not the interior of the temple since it is not alloyed and if you stop shopping would have appreciated the guidés help with the true pricing,since we are white had to visit a few shops to try to get an idea of the price on our own.<br/> Felt a bit abused by the system.but still nice tour and recommend also night tour to ceremony on the Gange and day tour by boat.</p>
<p>I really enjoyed this tour it was not rushed so that walking along the ghats one had plenty of time to absorb the atmosphere. Walking through the narrow alleyways while encountering cows and monkeys was great fun.</p>
