Rahul was a great guide! Very friendly and helpful. He was explaining everything in a very interesting way. He also was answering to all our questions and showed us a few interesting places on the bank of the river.

After having seen the Aarti and other sights from walking along the banks and ghats, this boating tour offered a fresh and different perspective. Amongst the numerous boats on the river, you get to see it all. It was great being able to make an offering from the boat to the wonderful river. Our guide was knowledge, friendly and great communicator. It was safe and comfortable.

Varanasi is beautiful in the winters. The gaga Aarti at Assi ghat in the morning is over rated. The boat ride upto Namo ghat in the morning and evening is a must as it’s different experience. The mankarnika ghat has become tourist attraction, however the energy is very different their and do not go without proper preparation and information. Check YouTube for that. We stayed at this beautiful Ashirwad home stay , wonderful place and wonderful service. Must check out if you are looking for home away from home. Close to most areas and away from the noise of Varanasi. Kashi Vishwanath was the highlight of the trip. Do go for the mangala aarti at 2 am. Worth it. It’s a food paradise and go with local recommendations. Don’t forget to have Banarasi paan.

The first day in Varanasi with Rahul was amazing! Varanasi can be a bit overwhelming and Rahul made the experience super peaceful and friendly. The boat ride at sunset was simply beautiful. He knows so much about the city, meditation, and spirituality (if you are on that path). The cherry of the day: after the tour, he showed me some hidden city gems. Things and places that you won't find by yourself for sure.

Rahul was a fantastic and very knowledgeable host. Not only was the boat trip a great way to see the sights, Rahul also shared some of his own secret spots. He was very attentive and stayed with us well after the allocated tour time to make sure we saw the fire ceremony and safely to a car in all of the evening madness. Thoroughly recommend.

Varanasi is also known as Benares or Kasi.. There are 15 ancient cities in India. There is also ancient civilization and sites like Indus Valley civilization. The building structure is different and the roads are narrow They also call her as the spiritual capital of India.
