    Just spectacular
    Hinduism to its spectacular level
    it is a challenge to go there, I mean to arrive, the traffic and the crowd are without equal
    then, it is a challenge to be in the boat, to be part of the boats platform, then to see the procession and to hope your boat will manage somehow not to be crashed by that boat crowd
    and then, the same crowd and traffic, to escape :)
    of course, we met a cow, with no traffic or crowd problems
    India, my love

    1 Day in Varanasi
    A first visit to Varanasi was all the more enjoyable with our tour guide Sunny Khan. His knowledge and way of explaining the culture and spiritual meaning of Varanasi made it so much more rewarding and brought it to life for us. He was very informative, relaxed and engaging which allowed us the opportunity to learn and ask numerous questions.
    The high light of the day for us with certainly the sunrise trip on the Ganga.
    I would strongly recommend using Sunny’s services if you are planning a one day trip to Varanasi.

    Great food and great company
    So glad we did this streetfood tour! The food was delicious and it was Nice to experience with a local. Especially since we as tourists are sometimes a bit scared to eat streetfood becasue of the Delhi Belly ;-) Thanks for this experience!

    Amazing
    It was a great experience for me. I highly recommend you to contact Ms. Anita for tour guide. She is like a tour planner and planned all our trip in less than any other plans that too within our budget. So, great trip.

    Beautiful experience
    As a solo traveler I was a little scared of going to places by myself so I decided to book this tour and I don't regret it. My tour guide was Sunny. He has so much knowledge about Indian culture and their traditions. Never rush the tour, answered all my question and best of all he was very respectful. Another wonderful person was the funny driver Babblu. He is the best driver I ever met. Eventhough Varanasi is a very busy city he make sure I was safe. I definitely recommend this tour even for ladies traveling solo like me.

    Wonderful way of seeing this beautiful city in a few days!
    I had a wonderful experience with Kunal. Very friendly, easy to talk to and full of knowledge, the tour was a well balanced combination between seeing the beautiful sites of Varanasi and interacting with and getting a taste (literally, as per the street food part) of life as a local.
    I would highly recommend this tour for anybody coming to Varanasi!

    Best among all
    One of the best time we had in India is in Varanasi. All because of driver Sanjay and guide Bharat who curated our tour so perfectly that we could not have asked it better than this.

    When you in Varanasi - recommend use these guys.

    The best way to discover Varanasi!
    I had an absolutely incredible experience with my tour guide Vinay. From the moment I met him, his enthusiasm and knowledge about Varanasi’s history, religion and culture shone through. I did the day tour and the morning tour(Banaras Wala Tours) with him.
    Vinay tailored the tour to my interests, taking me to hidden gems and providing fascinating insights at every stop. His warm personality and attention to detail made the trip unforgettable. He has great energy and your tour of Varanasi is incomplete if you have not seen Varanasi through his eyes! 100% recommend and 5 stars for Vinay!

    Incredible day!!!
    Absolutely incredible! Praveen made sure I didn’t miss a thing during this day tour in Varanasi and was super flexible to my needs and requests, going above and beyond. He’s a really nice and friendly guy and more importantly made me feel comfortable and safe as a solo female traveller - the tour is a must!!!

    I won’t see life the same as before
    I had experienced the tour just after my arrival. It was one of the most memorable experiences of my life and it changed my view on life forever. Sonu has given me all the information and insights, he is a person that puts heart into what he is doing. He is genuine and he takes care of guest’s safety. I felt like being with an old friend or perhaps a teacher. Thank you Sonu, keep doing that!

    Loved Varanasi!


    Kunal was excellent and I was able to customise the tour to suit me. Kunal was very accommodating. He knows everything about his hometown and is a wealth of knowledge. Would recommend Kunal as a guide.
