EXTRAORDINARY experience with Kunal, and this tour was the highlight of my 2-week Indian trip. Kunal is local to Vanarans; it is safe to say he knows every corner of the region. He is highly knowledgeable, and his storytelling skills make everything magical. He is flexible, pays attention to details and has excellent eyes for pictures. He went above and beyond and assisted me with the booking of taxi to airport for a early flight. He woke up at 4AM to ensure my driver picked me ( Stella service!) and this was after my booking. Kunal is authentic and kind. I highly recommend Kunal, I will book him again for a bigger tour in India.

What an incredible way to learn about and experience Varanasi, in the safe, kind and funny hands of Kunal. The absolute highlight of our trip to India thus far, I couldn’t recommend booking a tour with him more!!! Such an amazing set of authentic and thoughtfully curated experiences. Memories we’ll keep for a lifetime. Thank you Kunal 🙏🏼
