Banaras Soul Unveiled: Sacred Ghats & Mystic Alleys Tour

Awesome and knowledgeable guy, he speaks Spanish and Japanese and knew the answer to every question we had about Varanasi, very patient and helped us navigate the crowded city. Everything was comfortable and safe.

Vinay was amazing! The tour starts before sunrise with the best view of the morning rituals where he explains everything in detail with some chai masala :) We then took a boat ride until Manikarnika Ghat to witness the cremations first hand. Then, the walking tour takes you to temples, narrow allies and the best thing: a visit to a 4-generation essential oil destillery, with of course, more chai masala! In this tour, you get to experience the real Varanasi and feel the energy of their people and daily life. A truly remarkable experience! Vinay was waiting for us in time and also made sure we took an uber back safely. There’s no better tour in town.

Vinay is a wonderful guide so knowledgable, he js a local and knows all about the city his insights added so much value to the tour. It was such a wonderful experience

Great tour, we learned so much with Vinay, he was very knowledgeable and easy to get along with. I would suggest the use of a smaller,more intimate boat though.

Vinay is a great guide. Very helpful and knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly. Go to the sunrise Aarti and Assi Ghat it’s fantastic to watch as the sun rises over the Ganga

Vinay was prompt and an articulate host This was a spendid way to spend an early morning in Varanasi, although not quite as described in the Viator listing. The mornings activity overlaid with a highly informative narrative really brought what we were seeing to life. Would highly recommend.

The guide Vinay is a very good professional. He was always attentive to our sensations. He knows the city perfectly and the local shops. He will always take you to the right places to visit temples, taste local products or walk along the right streets. He came to pick us up at the hotel and negotiated our return tuk-tuk transfer so that we were not overcharged. We are very happy to have seen the city through his eyes

Vinay showed us a lot of ghats, temples, wrestling schools and many other less known sites in Varanasi. He was very friendly, professional and most of all, very knowledgeable, answering all our questions

Vinay was really good and pacient and really wanted to show us all and explain us everything.He was really pacient and it was really a good experience and I whould recommend him to all

Vinay was a great guide! We did the morning tour of Varanasi where he showed us different temples and ghats as well as the morning ceremony. He answered all our questions and was super knowledgeable. He even recommended other great sites for us to check out after the tour. Would highly recommend him as a tour guide!
