Ashok was a very professional, courteous and professionals guide. Our Interbinary and places were different from the usual one but he was flexible enough to modify and plan with requirement. He was very knowledgeable and knew very interesting stories of all the places we visit. Also he was well aware of all the shops which had the best food in Varanasi. Over all a very good experience with him. Highly recommended tour guide especially for out of state and international tourist.

Ashok is a very patient and understanding tour guide. He took us on a full day temple tour in varnasi. He explained the significance of each temple and we cant thank him enough foe helping us skip the queues. He also took us to the most authentic banaras saree shop with the best prices in town. If u r in varanasi.. Make sure u connect with Ashok Kumar 🌟
