Overview

We are local guides. Our families have lived for many generations in Varanasi allowing us to know every hidden corner of this beautiful and ancient city, along with fascinating stories about our traditions, history, religion, and ordinary people like ourselves. Varanasi represents the soul of India. A visitor alone can never hope to uncover more than a fraction of its secrets. Still, with our help, you will be able to discover the essence of this captivating city. Our tour will start at the meeting point, from where we will embark on a 3 hours journey to discover the most important historical and religious sites. We will visit the Ghats, crematorium, temples narrow streets, markets and popular food stalls, but also less touristic spots that are key to understanding the reality of modern Varanasi. During our tour, we will be sharing with you historical information and other important facts but also telling you interesting stories about our daily life, our gastronomy and our customs.

Knowledgeable interesting local guide .. highly recommended

Published on Jan, 2025

We had 3 tours in total with Pintu … we did sunset boat and also sunrise and he took us to the evening aarti ceremony which was amazing . Pintu is from Varanasi and he is very knowledgeable.. he walked us through Varanasi showing us not only the temples but also the living working life in Varanasi giving us a real insight into all aspects of life in the city. He puts so much effort and goes the extra mile and I would highly recommend him if you are visiting Varanasi. Thankyou Pinto for making our trip to Varanasi extra special and we wish you the best in the future.

Excellent, insightful and helpful tour guide.

Published on Jan, 2025

Pintu was extremely helpful and attentive to us during our stay. He gave us an excellent tour of Varanasi giving many useful insights along the way. He also catered to our needs by integrating a food aspect to the tour. In addition, he recommended lots of other activities to do in Varanasi and organised our boat trip. I would rate him as a 10/10 tour guide and would recommend him to anyone visiting Varanasi.

Varanasi tour with warm knowledgeable guide

Published on Nov, 2024

Pintu is a friendly, knowledgeable, generous and open minded guide. We did a lovely 5 hour walking tour of the varanasi ghats which gave us a deeper understanding of the area with his vast local knowledge. He continued to share lots of information of what to do and how to do it well after our tour had ended. Would highly recommend a tour with him to anybody. Also, he is lovely to chat to. Thanks Pintu!!
