Great overview of Varanasi - Varanasi is more chaotic than I expected, and you definitely need a guide to find your way around. My guide Ravi was very helpful and explained everything well.

Very nice experience! A tour into the real Varanasi - Ravi accompanied us for two whole days through the streets of Varanasi, he showed us both the most touristic things but also the most local and traditional glimpses of the city. It was a beautiful experience. Highly recommended guide!

People make the city - I'm very lucky and thrilled that I called Ravi for a tour enquiry while I had already spent a day in Varanasi. He is a gem of a person and I managed to see all the highlights this lovely city has to offer because I was accompanied by a knowledgeable tour guide as Ravi. Plus point was he spoke very good English and this made understanding the city much easier. Being a native, he had a lot of factual data to share during our visits to all the ancient monuments. He tailored the tour according to my preference, did all the bargaining with auto drivers, boat operators and took me to nice - clean eateries which otherwise I would not have tried. He is a trusted, kind and simple person who has a lot of passion and love for his city and that is translated in the amazing way he shows the city to his customers. He went out of his way and met me at 440am at my hotel to accompany me for the 5am morning Arti at Assi ghatt as I felt unsafe to go alone at that time. Little did I know that the city was already bustling at that time. As a solo woman traveller, I felt very safe with him. Highly recommended if you are looking for an honest and knowledgeable guide who is also very reasonable in his rates!

If you want to experience the real Kashi, Ravi is truly your guy! - Ravi is a nice, calm and honest guy. He has shown me the real Kashi. We have covered everything from old historical part of the city, mystic streets, to spiritual temples, and places where locals hang around and spend their time. I was amazed from Ravis knowledge and ability to explain cultural traditions. He has tailored the walk to my interest and was able to surprise me one after one. I wish there would be more guides like him!

Great intro to Varanasi! Recommended! - For our first morning in Varanasi, we wanted to get a sense of the city. This tour gave us exactly what we wanted. We covered a lot of ground, and Ravi provided a lot of information on the city, history, spiritual, and customs. As a Varanasi native, he knows his city intimately and is very proud of the heritage. I would definitely recommend taking this walking tour.

Government approved, well informed and kind guide - We booked Ravi and were very pleased. Ravi is very honest, intelligent, well informed, respectful and kind. He’s one of the few out there who’s educated and government approved guide. We then booked a tour with him to explore the south side of Varanasi. He showed us beautiful temples and hidden gems. Ravi has endless of information of the fascinating city, and he explains in a very good and interesting way. He also made sure we always were safe in the busy alleys of Varanasi. Ravi also has good tips about shopping and food. He also takes good pictures along the way so you can get the memories on camera🤗 He has good, honest friends around the city who gave us good price on saris and sewing. Ravi’s price is also very reasonable considering his in-depth knowledge of the holy city. He has becomed more of a friend then anything. Thank you Ravi for a wonderful experience and the wonderful hospitality.

Varansi Unfiltered - Ravi took me around in the city after I had spent a couple of days here already. He showed me places I wouldn't have found myself, tailored the route to my interests and showed me all the facets of his buzzing hometown. As he is a knowledgeable, kind and fun company, time flew by and I learned a lot through good conversations without having the feeling I'm on a tour. Highly recommended contacting him instead of booking some ready-made sightseeing option. Thanks again for showing me around, dear Ravi!

Best tour experience ever! - I feel very fortunate to have met Ravi, a professional yet friend-like guide, during my travels in Varanasi! He took me through the alleys of Varanasi, explaining everything I saw and introducing me to many delicious foods! Even after his work was done, he continued to take me around Varanasi in his spare time. When I was about to leave the city for the airport, he helped me communicate with the driver and solved problems for me. I am very grateful to him! I highly recommend choosing Ravi as a guide when visiting Varanasi!
