Amazing guide! - This was the best experience I’ve had yet while traveling in India! Prakash is such a genuine person, this felt more like hanging out with a good buddy rather than being on a tour. His knowledge of the city and his culture is extensive! Ignore all the other tours in Varanasi, this is the only one you’ll need for a few hours of exploring!

10/10 would recommend if you want a locals knowledge. Felt like we were spending the day with a friend. - We stumbled upon this tour and ultimately selected it due to the price. We were surprised with the quality we were provided. Prakash had so much knowledge, passion, and excitement for Varanasi, the culture, history and all of the places he took us. He recommended some cafes, places to eat, and additional sites to visit including Blue Lassi to try traditional Lassi. Prakash was one of the most personable tour guides we experienced in India and it felt like we were hanging with a friend the entire time. He planned to meet up with us later in the evening after the tour to offer us some chai and attend a Hindu ceremony that takes place on the Ganges River. He went above and beyond and offered so much more than we expected!

Very knowledgeable guide with perfect English - Prakash took the time to listen and understand my interests, then customized the tour to fit my interests in order to give me the best experience possible. He speaks perfect English, has a great personality, and really cares about his customers. He is also very knowledgeable about the different sites, culture, history, Hindu mythology, places to eat, and shopping spots. I really enjoyed visiting Varanasi with him.

A diamond in the rough! - If you want to see the real, behind the scenes Varanasi choose Prakash as your tour guide! We saw so many cool things and interesting aspects of the local life we otherwise would have missed on our own or with an average guide who just takes you to the obvious tourist sites! His English is excellent and he has a great sense of humor! His hard work and determination can’t help but leave you impressed and inspired!

A nice day to live. - One of those beautiful moments in life. Beautiful tour, strong sensations. A guide, Prakash, who accompanies, knows, is intuitive, redesigns to the client's taste. We had nice moments. I will miss him.
