Awesome! - Had the best tour ever with Manish! He's so friendly, it felt like going on a tour with a friend instead of a tourguide! He made a lot of effort to give me a very awesome experience! Thank you so much, Manish! Highly recommend it to go on a tour with him!

Best Guide in Town! - Manish is the absolute BEST! He’s extremely knowledgeable on everything Varanasi as he grew up here. Went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable & had an excellent time. As a solo female traveler I was very grateful to have someone like Manish take me under his wing and show me the way around Varanasi. 10/10 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Off the beaten path in Varanasi - Manish is an excellent tour guide. We saw many off the beaten path sites which was exactly what we asked for. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. We would have rated him 5 stars except that he consistently would race ahead of us despite asking him to keep an eye on where we were.

Tour with Manish 🛶 - The tour with Manish was very interesting and was full of information that we did not know and helped us understand the importance of Varanasi. Our guide was very kind to wait for us since we arrived late, and he also took some beautiful photos of us! He was also very easy going and easy to understand! if we would have to recommend something for improvement would be to offer the opportunity to see the ceremony from the boat or maybe to watch it in the company of the guide so he can explain it. But overall it was an excellent experience! thanks Manish for the tour!!

Nice tour - Nice informative guided walking tour of Varanasi. City is very crowded and noisy which makes it difficult to hear the guide, however Abhi did his best.
