Great walking tour - This tour was quite an experience through the streets of Varanasi. We wouldn't dare going by ourselves without the fear of getting lost. Our guide Prakash was walking on our pace, not his, we appreciated that and we were then able to better feel the vibe of the city. A must do tour for a first time in Varanasi!

Memorable journey in varanasi. - As a foreigner, it was my first experience of varanasi. Having the visit with prakash ji made it such an enriching experience. Despite being a hindu, I learnt so much more about the religion. We were a group of girls and we felt so safe in the city, more so with the guide by our side. He accommodated all our last minute changes in our agreed plan of visit. Thank you for showing us the best spots for photos n for helping us click them. But in my next visit, I will make sure to taste the blue lassi😉 Overall highly recommended guide services.

Awesome experience - Prakash is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable!). He even helped us find a good hotel for our stay and had arranged professional driver and area specific guides. I truly enjoyed walking the four of us through the lanes and city of Varanasi. Taking us to various local eateries and shops. It was a relieve to walk in such a charged and ancient city with stories from Prakash. All respect for Prakask who does a great job there; a true sample of excellent tour guide! Many thanks again and I recommend Prakash to everyone!

What a day, so much to take in. 5 star tour from Prakash. It’s going to take weeks to process what we saw - Prakash from Best Varanasi Tours made our tour of Varanasi an unforgettable experience, his love for this/his city is unmatched! He’s incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about the city’s people, history and culture. The day was packed with memorable highlights - enjoying chai at local spots, a delicious lunch with a German Shepherd, discovering a hidden silk sari factory that was quite incredible, and sampling amazing street food as we went. Of course we also visited breathtaking temples, witnessed the solemn burning ghats, and soaked* in the beauty of the Ganges. * not literally but he said some customers do jump in! Prakash’s friendly and engaging personality made the tour even more enjoyable. I highly recommend booking with him and Best Varanasi Tours for an authentic and enriching Varanasi experience! D & J

A fascinating insight to Varanasi! - We throughly enjoyed our Varanasi full day tour with Prakash. It was a lot of fun and full of interesting sights - from the river Ganges, the temples and the old town. We met locals, ate a delicious lunch and learnt so much about this city. Prakash was knowledgeable, entertaining and patient. I would highly recommend a tour with him.

Best 3 hours you can spend in Varanasi! - I was recommended by a friend to do the walking tour with Prakash and I was not disappointed. He knew exactly where to go to get the best views and also made sure we had a real 'Varanasi' experience. He was super knowledgeable about the history and culture and it was the best 3 hours I spent in the city. If you are going to the city then I cannot recommend him enough and it will be the best thing you can do there!

Private full-day tour of the narrow streets of Varanasi with boat tour on the Ganges - Our tour with Prakash through the narrow streets of Varanasi was an absolute highlight! Prakash is not only an excellent guide, but also a true connoisseur of his culture and religion, which he introduced to us in a lively and humorous way. With his easy-going sayings and knowledge, he always amazed us and made us smile. We particularly appreciated his courteous nature: he took time for us the whole day, organized a well-deserved break in a great restaurant and showed us the hidden corners of the city. When we asked about a boat for the evening ceremony, he didn't hesitate for a second and accompanied us until the evening. Prakash is direct, honest, smart and open to everything - a wonderful mix! Thanks to him, we had an all-round successful day full of impressions and valuable information. A big thank you to Prakash for this unforgettable experience.
