Incredible Tour! - I can't say enough good things about Vinay! He was an awesome guide—explained everything really well and made the experience enjoyable. We had a good tour of the city and even enjoyed a boat ride. We were so lucky to catch the ceremony from the front row — it was an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for an incredible tour in Varanasi, look no further than Vinay — he's the one to go to!

I got on a boat and was shown the crematorium nearby. You will then be taken to another crematorium where you can experience Hindu religious views. In Puja, I was shown to a seat very close to the Brahmin and I was able to experience it up close. It was amazing. - It was a great experience. I was impressed to have the front seat of the puja unexpectedly. I hope to see you again next time.

Grounding at the sacred Ganga ghats - Our guide Vinay is a friendly, steadfast & knowledgeable guide. He creatively included us in a last minute request. He kept our group to a total of 5 people. We sailed on the mighty Ganges moving from one ghat to another as it dawned shimmering light. The experience of the pilgrimage was soulful. We walked steadily in the meandering inner labyrinth of the city. Vinay explained in detail many anecdotes, metaphors, myth and philosophies as we visualized each of the stops. On the way, Vinay talked to the locales and one could notice that he was respected for the service he renders guiding pilgrims & visitors about their holy land! At the end, we were spiritually uplifted and grounded by the experience. It was just what we wanted to understand that life is beyond one’s own self image and the world is higher. The realization to the truth can only happen when one experiences spiritual quests at holy places such as Kaashi or Benaras - where life & death are synchronously juxtaposed.

Wonderful morning walk in the area - The guide Vinay spoke English and Japanese, very knowledgeable about the area and related history. Picked up at the local staying place and started before 6am. Got on the big boat and then walking the area.Especially traditional wrestling training place was fun for me. You need to be healthy enough to walk around.

fantastic tour of Varanasi! - I had a wonderful time with Vinay. He is very knowledgeable and caring, I really enjoyed the tour. He helped me meet a swami that works with the horoscope but that part is the only one I wouldn't repeat again. Otherwise, Im happy to recommend him for any of my friends that go to Varanasi, or when I visit again! He is a great guy too!
