Reviews: A Journey of A lifetime

We spent two half days in Varanasi with Prakash, and it was a genuinely wonderful experience. He showed us the city in a way that felt authentic, taking the time to explain not just what we were seeing, but why it mattered. From the ghats to the narrow lanes, every walk came with stories, cultural context, and small details we would never have picked up on by ourselves. One of the highlights was the street food. We felt completely comfortable following his recommendations and loved being able to experience local food without hesitation. Despite the tours being half days, they never felt rushed. Prakash was patient, attentive, and flexible with the pace, answering all our questions and making sure we were comfortable throughout! Highly recommended!!

My first time in India was amazing thanks to Manjeet! A guide full of knowledge, respect and care. Available for any query / help / request. He brought me to the places I could never imagine exist in Varanasi. Thanks to Manjeet I learned so much in such a short period of time. He is not guide, he is a treasure!

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.

We had two tours in Varanasi. One was booked through our tour operator and the other tour we had booked with Rahul (on the recommendation of another tourist from New York). So we have material for comparison. Rahul's tour stood head and shoulders above the rest. He showed us the real authentic Varanasi. We were also very close to the cremation site. Something the other guide did not dare/allow. Thanks to Rahul we went to unique places that we would otherwise have missed. You could immediately tell that Rahul grew up in the old center of Varanasi. Many people knew him and no one said we couldn't go somewhere. He also knew how to tell considerably more about life in Varanasi. As a professional photographer this was priceless. It's nice to know that Rahul also takes photographs and therefore knows what you want to capture as a photographer. In short: I highly recommend Rahul's (Mr. Streetwise) tour. On my next visit, I would like to book another tour through him. We also recommended him to our tour operator.
