Organised and extremely efficient Company for sightseeing in and around varanesi - I read the reviews on trip advisor about Experience Varanasi and was absolutely delighted with my choice. It could not have been better . From the very beginning Kunal kept me informed and updated about all the arrangements for my trip. He organised the driver pickup from the airport and everything continued smoothly from there. He advised me on the tour possibilities and timings as I was travelling at a very hot time in May. However, the great thing about that was there were very few European tourists ….. but still lots of local travellers who added to the general colour and chaos! My guide was Diwakar whose knowledge of Varanesi and all the local temples and sights was incredible. He told me all about the traditions and culture in a very easy and informative way and made sure I saw everything of interest and more besides…. silk weavers in their home, traditional Ayurvedic oils and much more. His enthusiasm for his subject and his excellent English made me realise how important it is to have a guide to understand the full complexity of Varanasi. My tour also included a trip to Bodhgaya taken there by the amazing driver Meraj. Sitting in the front seat you can only admire his skill in weaving in and out of the traffic in a cacophony of sound and with what seemed to have no rules of the road -that I could understand anyway. His calm manner on two very long drives was a wonder. At Bodhgaya Kunal had arranged for another guide Harander, to meet me. Again he was of the same excellent standard with an entertaining style and a depth of knowledge on the various Buddhist sites. Similarly he arranged early morning and evening visits to avoid the heat of the day. Overall I cannot recommend this Company and Kunal enough. I felt relaxed with the knowledge he was always in the background texting me or the guides to make sure everything was proceeding smoothly and that I was happy with all the arrangements. Yes I was! Thank you to you and your team. Ingrid

Great experience at Mahakumbh and Varanasi - We went on a 3 day, 2 night trip to Varanasi and Prayagraj to experience the once in 144 years Mahakumbh and experience the oldest still-inhabited city in the world - Varanasi !! The tour included my extended family of 8 members including two teenagers and two seniors who are 70+ and 85+ years of age. My biggest apprehension before the trip was the concern about how the seniors would cope with walking several kilometers in Prayagraj to reach the Holy Triveni Sangam. However my apprehensions were ill-founded and we had a wonderful and fulfilling time both in Prayagraj and Varanasi thanks to the excellent team work and services by Experience Varanasi organization. Full thanks to Experience Varanasi for: - The care taken to pick the right restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner - given our meal choices - The taxis (Innova Crysta) were in top notch condition and were clean and well maintained - The drivers of the taxis were friendly, polite and very helpful - The advice they provided to reach the correct ghat in Mahakumbh to reach Triveni Sangam was invaluable help - The way the drivers helped to reach the airport on time despite crazy traffic due to Mahakumbh is also excellent Overall it was a trip to remember for all the good reasons, thank you so much!!

Trip to Varanasi, Prayag Raj and Ayodhya. - Kunal Rakshit was our guide through our travels through Varanasi, Prayag Raj and Ayodhya. Kunal was an amazing guide, always professional, very knowledgeable, polite, personable and accommodative. His networking skills were remarkable, and as a result we were able to accomplish everything and achieve all that we hoped for. His driver, Surya Prakash was excellent as well. Thank you, Kunal and Surya Prakash for making our trip an astounding success!

Exhilarating, informative, captivating. - Having now visited Varanasi our view is that an informative , knowledgeable guide is essential. There is so much context to understand in order to “get” what’s going on. Our guide Kunal is an experienced expert in his craft who explained everything carefully and connects all the dots for us over three exhilarating days.

Kunal is the best Tour Guide Ever! - My husband and I spent 4 nights in Varanasi in December and we employed Kunal to be our tour guide for the entire stay. The best decision ever! Kunal went well beyond meeting our expectations and he gave us so many wonderfully immersive experiences which were truly life changing. At all times he took exemplary good care of us. He took us far and wide to local places, meeting local people and doing local things which I doubt are on the usual tourist route. He is passionate about his city, his knowledge is vast and he has a wonderful way of explaining very intricate complex subjects in easily digestible bite sized chunks. Kunal went the extra mile to arrange a trip to Kolkata for us including all transport links as well as tour guides and phoned us frequently to ensure all was on track. We have never before come across a guide who is so passionate and caring and he truly made our stay both very memorable, informative and supremely enjoyable. Thank you Kunal, you are an amazing man.

Guided tour to Varanasi - We arrived Varanasi by night train from Delhi. Our guide and car was waiting for us. We enjoyed our tour with experienced and well educated guide. Guide was always helpful and punctual to time. He always took care of group and its security. Food restaurent he sugessted were good and he knows this city very well. I will sugesst his services to visit Varanasi and its nughbour citys.

An unforgettable experience in Varanasi - Kunal gave us a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I can’t even put into words the magic we experienced spending 2-1/2 days with him. There is no one who knows the city better. As a small boy growing up at the heals of his grandfather, running through the back alleys of the city, swimming in the “Mother Ganga” and having been born and raised in Varanasi, Kunal knows everyone and everyone knows him. Combine that innate understanding with his advanced studies at the elite Hindu University, and his outgoing, affable personality and you have a tour guide who is second to none. Absolutely fabulous!!! My daughter (who was a comparative religion major in college) had a particular fascination with city and the many, many people who make pilgrimages there. Kunal not only showed us the historic and significant sites, but knowing her particular interests he arranged for us to actually participate in some sacred rituals and meet a world-famous guru. The experience is one I will remember forever.

The perfect tour! - This tour was simply exceptional! The itinerary was created to ensure a full immersive experience of Varanasi, the culture, history, and temples. Kunal was well versed in the city and religious history and spoke in great detail. He was also very timely and detailed to ensure we received the most from this tour. My favorite part was experiencing the small streets of the old city on foot and tasting the local food items.

Wonderful experience, would love to book with them again - Kunal made for a one of a kind and memorable varanasi trip. My family and I enjoyed every day thoroughly and Kunal made sure to give us the most immersive and hands on experience. From taking us to the best local bites, to getting to see the Mandirs up close without waiting in long queues, Kunal went out of his way to make sure we were getting the most out of our time in Varanasi. He is accommodating if you have specific places / things you want to do and even accommodating if you change plans last minute. Highly recommend going with him if you want to make the most of your Varanasi experience - especially if you are planning to go during a busy time like Dev diwali. Looking forward to planning future trips with him.

Excellent experience and irreplaceable memory - Kunal was an EXCELLENT guide. We was very hands on and accommodating to our needs. The tours were very informative and spiritual. We got to experience Varanasi without needing to wait in the long lines and had exclusive access. Kunal also was very personable and experienced on the ins and outs of Varanasi. Going during Dev Diwali it was going to be very crowded with a lot to see but Kunal organized it very well and made sure we saw everything without needing to worry about the crowds. Highly recommend if you want to see Varanasi and that too during the busy Dev Diwali season, book with Kunal. He will give you the experience of a lifetime.
