Fantastic sunrise boat tour - with local, honest and passionate guide - I went on the sunrise boat tour with Aman and my friends - there were 5 of us. It was very well organised and was full of interesting facts and sights. We were able to be on the water for sunrise (many of the other tours are slightly too late to achieve this). We saw the sunrise ceremony at the Assi Ghat before learning more about the history of Varanasi and ors spiritual significance. Aman is passionate about his hometown and had a wealth of knowledge on the topic. Would highly recommend him and his tours (also his Mona Lisa Coffeeteria does a cracking coffee too).

We were on boat and walking tour 👌🏻✨ - I haven’t met many people like Aman, he is very responsible, attentive, and always try to find a solution to problems. He immediately deserved my trust and respect. At first I wanted to stay in Varanasi for a week, but I felt myself at home and stayed longer. We also were on a tour, every step was well planned, he’s very good guide, me and all my friends were very grateful. We got a lot of knowledge, I learned interesting things about India. He speaks slowly and confidently, which doesn’t make a day boring to listen, answered all my questions and bought us delicious tea and sweets. I am very glad that I made a real friend in this beautiful city, I will definitely come back 🙏🏼😌

Amazing tour guide! - Fantastic tour guide! I booked in for a sunset boat tour with Aman, who is super knowledgeable and keen to share his culture. His spoken English is very good, and he was always happy to answer questions. You can tell he is a true Banarasi, and he is great at sharing his love for the city and its energy. We enjoyed the boat tour so much we booked in for a tuktuk and walking tour too. I would really recommend tours with Aman!

A wonderfully enriching experience - If you are looking to discover Varanasi in it's raw form then a walking tour with Aman is a must! We met Aman at Dashashwamedh ghat early morning and set forth on this beautiful trail. Aman took us through all the ghats, enlightening us on the significance of each of those ghats, followed by visits to some of the landmark temples. Aman took us through the by-lanes of Varanasi which we otherwise wouldn't have known about. If you are someone who is intrigued by the history and cultural relevance, then a tour with Aman should be on your charts. We ended our tour at the manikarnika ghat which was an experience in its own. Aman was patient, thorough with his knowledge and most importantly pally which added to the beauty of the tour. When exploring with Aman, do try out some famous local delicacies, my husband truly enjoyed them all. Once again, our trip to Varanasi would have been incomplete had we not had Aman take us through this walking experience.
