Beautiful day - Amazing experience! The tour starts early morning, best moment for capture a best shots in Varanasi. The guide, Mr Dhiraj, is a very friendly person and a professional photographer. He taught us many new things and helped us take beautiful photos. Don't miss it if you love real street photography!

I cannot imagine a better tour of Varanasi... - I would go on this tour again and again! I was treated like a friend as we wound the streets and river of Varanasi for hours - pausing, stopping, and moving with whymsical yet wise dialogue from my guide. What an absolute legend of a guy! With just my phone, I have a lifetime of stories to share from just a few hours (and I learnt how to actually take better shots 🤣). I'm not a review person but if you are in Varanasi do not miss the opportunity to do this tour. This man is an awesome photographer and an even better human being. Thank you!!

Fantastic activity (amateur iphone camera user!) - This tour was probably the highlight of our travels around India. We saw some fantastic things and captured them (with the help of lovely Dhiraj!). His knowledge around photography was very impressive and he is just an all round lovely, fun guy. Would highly recommend booking this if you are visiting Varanasi. You won’t be disappointed!
