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.

I recently did a day tour of Varanasi.
Our tour guide was Prakash Chaubey.
He was fantastic.
Prakash has an incredible knowledge of the EVERYTHING!
His day tour was a perfect mix . I couldn’t believe the total cultural immersion in just a day !!!
Prakash made sure we experienced everything possible - and at an ideal pace.
Our tour had everything from :
1) an early morning at the Ganges (which included a boat ride) ;
2) a walking tour through the city with the highlight being the hidden cultural treasures down the secluded laneways.
3) beautiful food;
4) the religious ceremony in the evening back at the Ganges.
Prakash is a truly knowledgeable guide and any request for anything was accepted.
I’m sure our tour was one of the best on offer.
Prakash took us deep into the laneways of the city to see the real Varanasi.
I doubt you would get that on other tours —- we certainly didn’t see any others tours in the hidden areas we were.
If you’re thinking of doing anything in Varanasi, Prakash is your man !

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.

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>
