Free walking tours in Varanasi

Anant gave us a very nice experience in Varanasi. We visited many interesting places while he was explaining us the most important facts of them. We really enjoyed the time with him. It is very recommendable

I live 100 kms from Varanasi. I have been here several times but after the tour with Anant ji I can surprisingly say that this is the first time I have really seen Banaras. It was very well planned tour and there were many personal touches. I got more than just professionalism. Anant ji was a Very gracious host and guide.

We had a really great time on the walking tour with Akash. He showed us some wonderful spots and was really informative too. He was really happy to answer all of our questions and it was a lovely way to spend the morning - highly recommend!

Greta experience. The guide was very well prepared. I discovered beautiful corners of the city and very interesting fact about the culture. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended! I’m the only person in the tour so it’s kind of a private tour to me. Pradeep is very knowledgeable and sincere person who is passionate about sharing Hindi culture. I can feel the spiritual side of the Hindi during the walk.

Bellissimo tour. Akash ci ha portato in giro, mostrato molti luoghi meravigliosi e raccontato storie. Consigliatissimo!

Muy buena experiencia, estoy muy contento de haber contratado sus servicios, a aparte lo completé con un tour budista. Si quieres conocer el Varanasi real, éste tour es el que tienes que tomar. Recomendado 100%

Amazing walk around the city, perfect insight for my first visit to Varanasi. Akash is really nice and knows a lot about the city. Also very good with languages! Highly recommended.

Good tour, you will be able to see places you will not get by yourself

We were very happy to have a guide in Varanasi, a place that otherwise could be very overwhelming. Akash led us through the stories of cremation and hinduism and answered all of our questions. It was very informative!

Tour muy recomendado. Es un chaval joven de Varanasi que explica muy bien , muy interesantes y muy divertido. Recomendado!

Akash was well prepared, knowledgable, and professional.

It was just fantastic. We enjoyed from the first to the last word his insightful explanation. We saw things we would not van seen without him. It was really great.

We had a great experience! Akash was informative, fun and professional. He took some nice photos of the group and shared them and we also got a chai included. The stops on the tour were interesting and helped to better understand the city.

Nice Tour. Nice guy.... Lots of Informations. Water and Chai.

I had the most wonderful experience exploring Kashi with Anant ji, and I can’t recommend him enough. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and deeply passionate about the city. From the moment the walk began, he took me through lanes and spots I would have never discovered on my own — places that feel almost secret unless someone truly rooted in Kashi shows them to you. What I appreciated most was how he matched the pace completely to mine, answering every single question with clarity, stories, and context. It felt like getting a crash course on Kashi — its history, culture, rituals, architecture, energy — all brought together in a way that makes you see the city with a whole new perspective. He is professional, respectful, and genuinely kind, and the walk never felt rushed for even a moment. Every second spent with him was absolutely worth it. If you’re visiting Varanasi, I highly recommend starting your trip with his walking tour. It sets the tone for everything that follows. Thank you, Anant ji, for such a memorable and meaningful experience.

Really lovely guy with a lot of knowledge. He has a clear passion for the area and its history, you can see it in the beaming smiles he gives when we are staring in awe at some of the beautiful temples and ghats he took us to. The tour was pretty long so be prepared for a lot of standing and walking if you're tired. It would've been nice to get to know more about Anant himself and for him to take more of an interest in us and what we're here for/ topics of interest but this is only something that would turn a fantastic tour into a world beating one. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful city with us Anand!

Akash is a fantastic tour guide. Not only is the tour well thought out and informative, but Akash answered all of our different questions about life in India. His English is better than most of the guides and easy to understand. He made sure to speak individually with each participant and offered tea, water and other treats along the way. I highly recommend him!

Toue was great awash was very knowledgeable

I really enjoyed this walk. Akash was very insightful and took his time to explain well on every aspect of our tour. He answered all of our many questions and gave me a understanding of the city I would have gained without him. Great tour, thanks Akash!

Akash, Badal’s brother, did an amazing job showing us the story and streets of Varanasi. Would definitely recommend!!

Great tour! I highly recommend starting your stay in Varanasi with a tour from Akesh, the tour guide. It is a great way to learn about the city, the history, and the spirituality. Akesh is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and friendly.

Fue una experiencia maravillosa. Súper atento, nos explicó todo muy bien, cada preguntaba la contestaba con tiempo y dedicación. Visitamos lugares únicos, realmente vale mucho la pena este guía. Realmente lo recomiendo muchísimo, si queres saber de historia te cuenta de la historia, si queres saber cómo o porqué de las cosas te las explica muy bien, siempre muy atento a que todos estén contentos con el tour. Volvería mil veces

Wonderful mouthwatering tour

Akash was a great tour leader who confidently showed us around the city and had very clear answers to all of our questions.
