Exhilarating, informative, captivating. - Having now visited Varanasi our view is that an informative , knowledgeable guide is essential. There is so much context to understand in order to “get” what’s going on.
Our guide Kunal is an experienced expert in his craft who explained everything carefully and connects all the dots for us over three exhilarating days.

Kunal is the best Tour Guide Ever! - My husband and I spent 4 nights in Varanasi in December and we employed Kunal to be our tour guide for the entire stay. The best decision ever! Kunal went well beyond meeting our expectations and he gave us so many wonderfully immersive experiences which were truly life changing. At all times he took exemplary good care of us. He took us far and wide to local places, meeting local people and doing local things which I doubt are on the usual tourist route. He is passionate about his city, his knowledge is vast and he has a wonderful way of explaining very intricate complex subjects in easily digestible bite sized chunks. Kunal went the extra mile to arrange a trip to Kolkata for us including all transport links as well as tour guides and phoned us frequently to ensure all was on track. We have never before come across a guide who is so passionate and caring and he truly made our stay both very memorable, informative and supremely enjoyable. Thank you Kunal, you are an amazing man.

An unforgettable experience in Varanasi - Kunal gave us a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I can’t even put into words the magic we experienced spending 2-1/2 days with him. There is no one who knows the city better. As a small boy growing up at the heals of his grandfather, running through the back alleys of the city, swimming in the “Mother Ganga” and having been born and raised in Varanasi, Kunal knows everyone and everyone knows him. Combine that innate understanding with his advanced studies at the elite Hindu University, and his outgoing, affable personality and you have a tour guide who is second to none. Absolutely fabulous!!! My daughter (who was a comparative religion major in college) had a particular fascination with city and the many, many people who make pilgrimages there. Kunal not only showed us the historic and significant sites, but knowing her particular interests he arranged for us to actually participate in some sacred rituals and meet a world-famous guru. The experience is one I will remember forever.

The perfect tour! - This tour was simply exceptional! The itinerary was created to ensure a full immersive experience of Varanasi, the culture, history, and temples. Kunal was well versed in the city and religious history and spoke in great detail. He was also very timely and detailed to ensure we received the most from this tour. My favorite part was experiencing the small streets of the old city on foot and tasting the local food items.

Wonderful experience, would love to book with them again - Kunal made for a one of a kind and memorable varanasi trip. My family and I enjoyed every day thoroughly and Kunal made sure to give us the most immersive and hands on experience. From taking us to the best local bites, to getting to see the Mandirs up close without waiting in long queues, Kunal went out of his way to make sure we were getting the most out of our time in Varanasi. He is accommodating if you have specific places / things you want to do and even accommodating if you change plans last minute. Highly recommend going with him if you want to make the most of your Varanasi experience - especially if you are planning to go during a busy time like Dev diwali.
Looking forward to planning future trips with him.

Excellent experience and irreplaceable memory - Kunal was an EXCELLENT guide. We was very hands on and accommodating to our needs. The tours were very informative and spiritual. We got to experience Varanasi without needing to wait in the long lines and had exclusive access. Kunal also was very personable and experienced on the ins and outs of Varanasi. Going during Dev Diwali it was going to be very crowded with a lot to see but Kunal organized it very well and made sure we saw everything without needing to worry about the crowds. Highly recommend if you want to see Varanasi and that too during the busy Dev Diwali season, book with Kunal. He will give you the experience of a lifetime.

Excellent experience at Varanasi - We had an amazing experience and stay at Varanasi.Kunal, our guide, had enlightened us with his in-depth knowledge of this ancient city and took every step to ensure we were comfortable and safe and that our every wish was fulfilled.My favourite part of the trip was having the privilege to receive Shiva’s blessings in the form of a marigold flower garland and being able to participate in prayers for my grandparents and ancestors.

The Most Memorable Trip to Varanasi - This is bit late but as they say Better Late than Never.
We were in Varanasi during Dussehra holidays with our mom and we chose Kunal to explore the Varanasi.
This is one of the best trip we had and it’s all thanks to Kunal and itinerary he decided and managed for us.
He is born and brought up in Banaras and knows so many things that is not possible for any other person. He told us things that we have not heard or read.
He took care of each and every thing and treated mom as his own mom which is very remarkable.
If anybody wanted to experience Varanasi please contact Kunal without any second thoughts.
We had our best meals in Banaras and that’s too thanks to Kunal 😊
