The most professional, kind and friendly guide - Ravi is a government authorised guide and he custom designed a tour for me after asking me questions to understand my purpose in visiting Varanasi. This meant I made the most of the two days I had. He organised a special ritual with a priest that I wanted to conduct for my grandfather. After I left Varanasi I ran into some issues with my onward transport and he offered support and advice. I consider him a true friend and as a solo female traveler I felt safe and supported in what was a very busy time in the city. Thanks Ravi - I will never forget this trip. You made it truly magical.

Ravi is an amazing guide, would highly recommended him💯 - My daughter and I spent 3 days with Ravi in Varanasi. He is such a gentleman, and so accommodating to suit your travel itinerary to your needs. We arrived at the train station in Varanasi the day before we were due to catch up with Ravi… this guy was amazing . He met us at the train station and organised transport to our hotel… which was through a labyrinth of alleyways, so daunting for first time travellers to India. Ravi is so passionate about his heritage and culture and extremely knowledgeable. We had the best time with Ravi over 3 days.We have made a lifetime friend with Ravi. I would highly recommend Ravi 💯

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.
