Varanasi and Ayodha trip - I wish to visit Varanasi and Ayodha , after searching online found "My Tour Guide Varanasi" Vimal ji..He helped with complete planning based on number of days and the plan is totally customizable as per our feedback...The moment I reached Varanasi Airport starting from Airport pickup to dropping back to Airport after the tour, complete trip was taken care by Vimal ji.. He assigned a driver with vehicle and a local guide for me who was with me in my complete trip.. If you want to Visit Varanasi or Ayodha and wish to have a local friend who know all the short cuts 😉 and be with you in the complete trip then I suggest to contact Vimal ji...All the best

Divine experience! - It was an amazing experience with Vimalji. We travelled in a group of 8 with elders and Vimalji took care of each of our requirements. His has immense knowledge about the place and made us connect with the place even more with the stories along. I would highly recommend him for anyone visiting Kashi!

Well-planned itinerary and superb narration - We engaged Sri Vimal Pathak during our recent three-day trip to Varanasi. He made our trip memorable in many ways. Firstly he made a great plan covering the Ganga Arati, temple visits (including the main Kashi Vishwanath. Annapurna and Vishalakshi temples as also the Sankatmochan Hanuman temple), boat ride (from Namo ghat to Assi ghat and back), heritage walk in the bylanes around the main temple, and visits to Sarnath and the BHU campus. He even organised a visit to a unit weaving the famous Benarsi silk sarees. Secondly, he ensured comfort for seniors like us by planning activities in the morning and evening giving adequate time during the day for rest in the hot season, He also ensured that we were picked and dropped from/to the airport and taken around the city in a comfortable SUV. Thirdly, and most importantly, he provided a wonderful narration regarding every place we visited or even passed in transit. His knowledge of the city and its history is amazing. One could listen to him endlessly. He also has a good knowledge of hindu and buddhist thought and shared interesting insights, especially in Sarnath. Being the president of the city guides association ensures that he has a good network and many things which otherwise take a lot of time and effort become simple for tourists. Finally, he was extremely courteous and accommodating. Seeing our interest in books he took us to a fascinating, sprawling, two-storied book shop tucked away out of sight from the main road, housing a huge collection of old and rare books. All in all we had a great trip, thanks to him.

Aangename en gezellige gids - This man is THE guide you need to book! He took us to the best hotspots at the best times. We only had 1 day in Varanasi. But through his guided tour I saw everything I needed to see there. Thank you for this!

Exceptional experience! - Vimal, professional guide with a fluent Spanish knowledge, has shown an excellent understanding of his role and the tour he has put together, has been perfectly balanced on our requirements by mixing the exact amount of culture with a Varanasi's insider looking. Flexibility and knowledge have been the key words and have driven us through a wonderful and exciting day, never letting us feeling as customers but, always, as two friends taken around town by a caring and trustful local friend, sharing an unbiased, accurate and in-depth view of his lovely town. Thank you Vimal: we have surely had an exceptional experience!

Varanasi/Sarnath Tour - We are a Senior Citizen Couple. We hired the services of Mr. Vimal Pathak,President of Govt Guide Varanasi. Mr. Vimal Pathak helped us very much. We hired his Cab and Guide services. He very well organised our Varanasi/ Varanasi Mahadeo Darshan, Ganga Aarti,Rudra Abhishek,and related Temples Darshans including Sarnath Tour. He is very soft spoken, committed and learned. We suggest everyone to take the advantages of the services for Smooth Darshan of Shri Kashi Vishawnath/Ganga Aarti etc. He also arranges hotel Stays as per your requirements. In short you can Fully Trust him and Relax. We wish Very Best of Wishes to Mr. Vimal Pathak,President of Varanasi Govt. Tourist association.
