Excellent experience in Varanasi - We had a walking tour with Ravi in Varanasi, and it was an excellent experience. I still remember some of the fascinating facts he shared with us (which is uncommon for me). I really appreciated how clearly he explained everything. His English is excellent—he speaks slowly, loudly, and in a way that’s easy to understand. Ravi also guided us on how to behave in different places, which was very helpful. Additionally, he recommended a few shops where we could buy souvenirs at reasonable prices (much cheaper than nearby options). At the end of the tour, he ensured we reached the location where we could book a cab to the airport and even checked to make sure we departed safely. I highly recommend him for tours in Varanasi!

Great way to get to know Varanasi - We had a wonderful walking tour of Varanasi with Ravi. The walk went at a relaxed pace, while at the same time covering a lot of ground and opening our eyes to parts of the city we would not have seen on our own. Ravi shared tons of information with us regarding Hindu traditions and the culture of the city, treated us to some delicious street food and catered the tour stops to what we were most interested in. We are not big tour people generally, however Varanasi is an overwhelming place to explore, and having someone who is local to the city is key to really understanding everything that’s going on around you. We’re really glad we had this experience and wish we had done it on our first day in Varanasi, rather than our last - as it gave us a whole new perspective of the city, plus Ravi had lots of other tips to continue exploring the city on our own. He’s also an incredibly nice guy, speaks perfect English, and is the utmost professional. You can tell he is passionate about what he does. Highly recommend Ravi as a guide and resource for your trip to Varanasi!

Ravi makes Varanasi become memorable place. - Highly recommended. The Best Varanasi Guide! Thank you Ravi for making this memorable journey. Varanasi is a very historical city where you can enjoy either yourself or get deep with the vibes. Ravi who is born and raised there can bring you into the heart of Varanasi. It’s worth on every rupee you’ve spend on Story of the city, food, and shops. Along the walk there are many alleys, many life, and many routes where this can make you lost or love. He can take you to the good street food, historical place and story, all temples, things that you are looking for, and many more. By his knowledge and skills, this makes my day gone so fast. I request on things to do and he reply on what must be done to make sure that you won’t miss any Varanasi details. His communication was perfect, easy to understand along with his duties where he come to the hotel in the morning and wait for me, and taking me back to the hotel again when we completed. Thanks again Ravi, and see you again soon…

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.

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!
