Walking around Baranas with Pradeep was a wonderful experience! I was the only one to book the tour that day and I felt cozy and comfortable like getting to know a city with a long time no see friend. Pradeep told many great stories from Hindu mythology, explained me the story of the ghats and the rituals that happen there as well as showed the everyday life of the Baranas people. While exploring narrow little streets we saw many small temples, drank chai, discussed the lifestyle and Hindu traditions. Pradeep answered my questions and also adjusted to my time as I enjoy walking slower, taking my time and taking pictures. Thank you! Highly recommended seeing Kashi with him 🙏🏼✨

A very bad experience with him : I texted him before going to the meeting point, he didn't respond to me. There were nobody at the appointment place... I had to make my walk alone and that's not good to do that for a solo traveler woman. Once arrived at my hotel, he told me after that the walking tour was cancelled. Pwah!

Great tour if you want something more than the big sites. Wandering around the back streets of the old city was fascinating and we felt safe and shielded from touts and hawkers having a local guide with us. The tour ended at the Dhashash ghat for the evening Aarti and Sandeep found us a good viewing spot. We would highly recommend this tour and guide
