Having now visited Varanasi our view is that an informative , knowledgeable guide is essential. There is so much context to understand in order to “get” what’s going on. Our guide Kunal is an experienced expert in his craft who explained everything carefully and connects all the dots for us over three exhilarating days.

My husband and I spent 4 nights in Varanasi in December and we employed Kunal to be our tour guide for the entire stay. The best decision ever! Kunal went well beyond meeting our expectations and he gave us so many wonderfully immersive experiences which were truly life changing. At all times he took exemplary good care of us. He took us far and wide to local places, meeting local people and doing local things which I doubt are on the usual tourist route. He is passionate about his city, his knowledge is vast and he has a wonderful way of explaining very intricate complex subjects in easily digestible bite sized chunks. Kunal went the extra mile to arrange a trip to Kolkata for us including all transport links as well as tour guides and phoned us frequently to ensure all was on track. We have never before come across a guide who is so passionate and caring and he truly made our stay both very memorable, informative and supremely enjoyable. Thank you Kunal, you are an amazing man.

Kunal gave us a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I can’t even put into words the magic we experienced spending 2-1/2 days with him. There is no one who knows the city better. As a small boy growing up at the heals of his grandfather, running through the back alleys of the city, swimming in the “Mother Ganga” and having been born and raised in Varanasi, Kunal knows everyone and everyone knows him. Combine that innate understanding with his advanced studies at the elite Hindu University, and his outgoing, affable personality and you have a tour guide who is second to none. Absolutely fabulous!!! My daughter (who was a comparative religion major in college) had a particular fascination with city and the many, many people who make pilgrimages there. Kunal not only showed us the historic and significant sites, but knowing her particular interests he arranged for us to actually participate in some sacred rituals and meet a world-famous guru. The experience is one I will remember forever.

This tour was simply exceptional! The itinerary was created to ensure a full immersive experience of Varanasi, the culture, history, and temples. Kunal was well versed in the city and religious history and spoke in great detail. He was also very timely and detailed to ensure we received the most from this tour. My favorite part was experiencing the small streets of the old city on foot and tasting the local food items.
