Exceptional, thoughtful guide in Varanasi.Vinay is absolute gold for families!
Touring Varanasi with Vinay from Banaras Wala Tour was hands-down one of the highlights of our trip. We were a family of five, including two elderly members, and navigating the bustling ghats and alleys of Kashi could have easily become overwhelming. Vinay made the entire experience seamless, comfortable, and deeply memorable.
He customized the itinerary entirely to our convenience, paying close attention to our family’s needs and pacing every walk so our elders never felt rushed or tired. Beyond his deep local knowledge and warm hospitality, his language skills are phenomenal—he communicates effortlessly in English, Japanese, and Spanish.
If you are visiting Varanasi—especially if traveling with multi-generational family or seniors do yourself a favor and book with Vinay. You will be in the most caring, capable hands. Highly, highly recommended!

Niwas is the best guide one could hope for experiencing Varanasi!
Niwas is a local and gave me the perfect tour of Varanasi. It is not an easy city to navigate but following Niwas made me feel very safe and was accommodating to every need I had. During the heavy rain mid-tour Niwas was able to take me into a local’s house, experiencing the tight knitted community hospitality that Varanasi residents share. Niwas was extremely knowledgeable with perfect English explanations, seeing respectfully the rawest form of Hindu religious practices especially the cremation ceremony happening at the Marnikarnika Ghat. Overall experience 10/10!

Tree pose while looking over the Ganges river
Authentic yoga experience doing Surya Namaskar and balancing asanas while looking out over the Ganges river. Skillful instructor adjusting poses with patience and giving encouragement. Great relaxation and sevasna. Can’t imagine a more beautiful and authentic spot. Have Google maps ready to navigate the small streets leading to the yoga studio. It makes it more adventurous and fun!

Mystic KASI and Ganges river is equal to liberation of soul
Ganges River-Varanasi-Kasi is heaven on earth and this is the place according to hinduism you get liberation. Boat tour is a must for any Varanasi visitor and all ghats have to be seen the Ganges river has to be felt and the past-present-future has to be felt in the Ganges air..Dont miss it and last but the least we have been a Viator customer for many years ...just be with them and you will get good experience and service ..our operator Sonu was very good and we enjoyed the moments

All in one tour especially if you are here for a day.
A boat ride on the Ganges at dawn is the heart of any Varanasi visit witnessing the ancient ghats, riverside temples, and the sacred cremation ceremonies at Manikarnika will leave you deeply moved and reflective. Be prepared for an emotionally intense experience, as the open-air cremations are a raw and spiritual part of daily life here, not a spectacle. Ended my day at the Ganga Aarti evening ceremony, where the riverside comes alive with fire, chanting, and thousands of devotee it’s an unforgettable ritual you won’t want to miss.
Sunny was an awesome very knowledgeable guide. Definitely recommend this tour.

Varanasi in one day lives up to its name!
Our guide, Bharat, was exceptional! Not only friendly and good humoured on what was a long day, but efficient and oh so knowledgeable. It would have been a very long day, so to build breakfast and lunch breaks into this trip is a great idea. Sadly the sun was hiding, but nonetheless our Sunrise Cruise was wonderful, seeing Varanasi come to life in the morning. Sarnath was not just a green and welcome respite from the city, it was also a most wonderful tour of the Stoupa and archeological Buddhist artefacts, temples and statues all set within the most beautiful gardens. Bharat’s encyclopaedic knowledge of the religious history of India was astonishing, and he delivered it in a gentle and easy to understand way. SO pleased we did this trip - it really is Varanasi in one day!!

Shiv was an amazing...
Shiv was an amazing guide! He was early to my hotel, walked with me in the city center, knew the answer to all my questions and on top of that also told me many stories of Hindu gods and the history of the city. I recommend this tour for anyone trying to see not the main attractions of the city but also the temples and interesting places around the city center.

This was an excellent...
This was an excellent tour. Seeing the Ganges at Dawn was a magical experience. We were there on a festival day and our guide was excellent in negotiating all of the crowds. He was also extremely accommodating in taking us to see a step well, which was not on the normal tour.
