A memorable journey to varanasi

It was a great experience to travel and explore varanasi, and choosing experience varanasi for our trip was the best decision so far Kunal ji was definitely polite, respectful and everything a person searches for while travelling and exploring places, our 3 day journey which included varanasi, Ayodhya and prayag was definitely worth it, all thanks to him So yes, if u are travelling in these regions for 1st time, you should definitely check him out, from spiritual to food tours, everything is too notch and that's my guarantee Thanks experience varanasi and Kunal ji for a exquisite, memorable trip

Varanasi the best way

Kunal over the 3 day private Varanasi tour was fantastic, we felt safe at all times, he was attentive to our needs and took us to places that the locals go to, away from the main streets. I would certainly recommend Experience Varanasi Tours to anyone wishing to visit. The private tour meant that nothing was rushed, we did do a lot of walking but it was worth it. On the second day we also had a driver who was very careful, and for the driving around the city of Varanasi, you have to have a major amount of patience. We had two boat tours on the Ganges, the different drivers on both trips spent time with my passion for photography and would get me the angle I needed. We did stay for 4 days, the last day on our own however Kunal gave us tips and description of these places on our WhatsApp, above and beyond. All in all an unforgettable experience and thanks to Kunal and his team, we will always remember it. Brian and Pauline

Great Inside Varanasi tour with Experience Varanasi - Don't miss out!

My husband and I highly recommend traveling with Experience Varanasi. Kunal was an excellent guide for our 3 full days of touring which included markets, religious sites and other places of interest. He knows Varanasi extremely well as he grew up there. Having such familiarity with the area and people made for a more unique tour. Kunal went out of his way to accommodate special requests we made before and during the trip including obtaining certain supplies we needed upon our arrival to Varanasi. Kunal responded quickly to my numerous emails prior to the tour and gave knowledgeable answers to my myriad of questions during our time with him. He is very polite and personable too. The driver was very skilled too which is important in Varanasi.

Har Har Mahadev…..Memories to treasure

We had an exceptional experience with Kunal.and [from experience Varanasi] during our Varanasi trip! The itinerary was meticulously planned, and our guide's accommodating nature made us feel at ease throughout. He went above and beyond to ensure our trip was memorable, recommending wonderful local eateries and introducing us to the city's hidden gems. I highly recommend for anyone looking to explore Varanasi!"

Experience Varanasi the oldest living civilisation, with experience Varanasi Tours a must in a lifetime

A visit to this historical city was living alive, All the history textbook that we memorised as School kids with an excellent curated itinerary by Mr. Kunal of Experience Varanasi tours just nailed it to the core made our four day, visit a lifetime memory… right from airport, pick up to the hotel, breakfast, the morning, sunrise, Ganga Aarti at the Ghat ,byLanes of Varanasi, The Jain Temples the akhada, the yummy food not to forget the travel, the drivers were very courteous and prompt all was nothing less than perfect . I would strongly recommend Mr. Kunal‘s company to anyone and everyone. Best wishes Varsha Baradiya

Organised and extremely efficient Company for sightseeing in and around varanesi

I read the reviews on trip advisor about Experience Varanasi and was absolutely delighted with my choice. It could not have been better . From the very beginning Kunal kept me informed and updated about all the arrangements for my trip. He organised the driver pickup from the airport and everything continued smoothly from there. He advised me on the tour possibilities and timings as I was travelling at a very hot time in May. However, the great thing about that was there were very few European tourists ….. but still lots of local travellers who added to the general colour and chaos! My guide was Diwakar whose knowledge of Varanesi and all the local temples and sights was incredible. He told me all about the traditions and culture in a very easy and informative way and made sure I saw everything of interest and more besides…. silk weavers in their home, traditional Ayurvedic oils and much more. His enthusiasm for his subject and his excellent English made me realise how important it is to have a guide to understand the full complexity of Varanasi. My tour also included a trip to Bodhgaya taken there by the amazing driver Meraj. Sitting in the front seat you can only admire his skill in weaving in and out of the traffic in a cacophony of sound and with what seemed to have no rules of the road -that I could understand anyway. His calm manner on two very long drives was a wonder. At Bodhgaya Kunal had arranged for another guide Harander, to meet me. Again he was of the same excellent standard with an entertaining style and a depth of knowledge on the various Buddhist sites. Similarly he arranged early morning and evening visits to avoid the heat of the day. Overall I cannot recommend this Company and Kunal enough. I felt relaxed with the knowledge he was always in the background texting me or the guides to make sure everything was proceeding smoothly and that I was happy with all the arrangements. Yes I was! Thank you to you and your team. Ingrid

Kunal - best guide in Varanasi

We (49 and 54 years) visited Varanasi for 3 days at the end of February 2025 for the festival Mahashivaratri. The festival has great significance in Hinduism, as it symbolizes the divine marriage of God Shiva and Goddess Parvati. This auspicious occasion is considered one of the most important festivals in the Hindu calendar. During Mahashivaratri, believers fervently worship God Shiva and fast for a day as a sign of reverence and devotion. There is then a very special “vibe” in the streets of the city and along the ghats along the holy river Ganges (Ganga). To fully open the senses to this unique “vibe”, you need a first-class guide with passion for HIS city. We were very lucky to have found such an excellent guide with Kunal from Experience Varanasi. Kunal is a lively storyteller, intimate connoisseur of hidden places and treasures, a great organizer with a great network (even with a sadhu we were able to talk about life) and also a brisk photographer. On the morning and evening boat trip on the Ganges, he captured flattering portrait photos of us with ghats as a backdrop in soft sunlight, before we became part of the image of pilgrims diving reverently into the Ganges after landing the boat. Or as Kunal aptly put it: „Now, you are jumping into the picture.“ Without our excellent guide Kunal, we would not have experienced the holy city of Varanasi anywhere near as close and intense. Kunal opened our senses. We thank him warmly for an unforgettable experience and wish him all the best.
