Marie_L, May 2025

I never do tours, but I am so glad I did this one!! You will definitely need someone to show you around Varanasi or you will miss so much! Vinay is the perfect guide, friendly, knowledgeable on everything in Varanasi, from best places to eat, to where to get the perfect picture! He speaks very good English and many other languages. He was very kind and went above and beyond to show me around Varanasi! Would highly recommend, don’t consider booking with anyone else!! Worth every penny! Thank you Vinay.
