An immersive walk in Varanasi ancient city - This is a really authentic and immersive walking tour inside the sacred city of Varanasi. We had a 4 hours walk with Rahul, who Is really a great expert of Varanasi history and traditions. I cannot say how many questions he answered me, giving a complete and clear explanation of such complex subjects such as cremations and hindu mythology. Moreover, Rahul really took care of us, guiding us in a very comprehensive and intense tour of the ancient city, showing both the ghats and the temples. This is a highly recomended experience, both for the beauty of the city and for the professionality of the guide.

Incredible immersive stroll around Varanasi. - We were two enjoying an incredible 4-hour tour with Rahul around Varanasi’s main attractions.
Not only we stopped at the well-known “gaths” but Rahul also shared with us Varanasi’s historical roots linked with the history of Hinduism.
Rahul is highly educated and patient with great English skills.
If you’re in town, do not hesitate to stroll around with him.

Must do walking tour, you won't regret it!!!!! - When we were looking to book a walking tour in Varanasi we wanted one that was going to provide a holistic view of Varanasi, including its history and culture rather than a tourist sightseeing trip. When we booked this trip and met Rahul we knew we had made the right decision. Rahul has over 20 years' experience sharing his cultural with visitors and seemed to know instantly what our interests were. Rahul provided us an extensive insight and understanding into the local history and the importance of life and death. It was a full-on tour and we absorbed so much information. I highly recommend this walking tour and Rahul as a tour guide. Thank you for sharing your culture with us, it was a privilege to meet you.

Local knowledge - We did an afternoon tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. Excellent English and a chance to see sites and small temples that you would not find on your own. Highly recommend this company. His knowledge of the backstreets made it very interesting.

Walking Tour - I met Rahul by chance on the ghats. Our conversation led to me booking a walking tour with him, which turned out to be a fantastic experience. He provided in-depth insights into Varanasi’s history, religious ceremonies, and rituals. Rahul is a truly authentic and excellent guide for exploring Varanasi. You won’t be let down.

It was unforgettable and we ll gratefull to him forever. Varanasi is not an easy city but with Rahul it was incredible. We strongly recommend it. Thanks for everything Rahul we ll surely visit you again

Rahul is your recommended guide for Varanasi and around - Rahul took us by foot throughout the different Gaths (the worship platform by the Gangas). He explained to us all the ceremonies and the different traditions we've witnessed there. Later we were walking the narrow alleys of the old city, which no doubt are Rahul's background. Rahul knows all the small and unique places. He took us to visit a genuine oil healer and other places at our request (such as a silk store in a small alley). We had such a good time with Rahul that we called him the other day and asked him to take us to a village across the river, again, seems like Rahul knows all the people and places around, taking us to unique places in the village and explaining us of the local habits. I really recommend Rahul as a guide, his English is very good, he is a local and really knows the places around and the traditions. He also has a good sense of humor which made our time with him, unforgettable.
