Free walking tours in Varanasi

We started 30 mins later with no response to my calls. Apart of that we had an amazing private tour around Varanasi and it's temples. Akash showed us crematory from inside and he was great at explaining everything. Thank you for such a great time

We had a great time on this tour! Badal gave us just the right amount of information for the rookies we are when it comes to Varanasi’s heritage. He took us to local spots we would’ve never found on our own—and the cherry on top, he’s a lot of fun!

Our tour (secrets of varanasi) was great! Badal took us through the old town of Varanasi, he explained a lot and we could ask all of our questions. Badal knows the area very well, is professional and speaks English perfectly. I would recommend everyone to take this tour when you want to see varanasi without any stress and learn something at the same time. Additionally we got some recommendations for restaurants and other nice places.

Anant was hands down the best guide we had across our trip to Northern India. What stood out is his authentic, proud and passionate description of his city - Varanasi. He guided us through the everyday and spiritual life of the city: through his connection across the city he gave us access to a hospice, flower/ghee/paneer/sweet shops, a hospital, houses, a music shop, temples and finally the ghats and cremation sites. As opposed to everyone else we encountered in india he wasn't pushy over spending for donation/buying. Finally he gave us good tips for fair priced boat trips and restaurants.

Amazing Tour! Badal was very friendly and he speaks very good English!

Estábamos dudosos de coger el tour pero al final ha sido todo un acierto! Súper bien con annant muy entretenido, se conocía todos los rincones y nos llevó a partes de varanassi que no hubiésemos visto ni el 10%, nos metió por callejuelas impensables de entrar sin alguien que te lo diga. Y descubrimos templos y recovecos en los que no hubiéramos reparado. Pra acabar la jornada nos recomendó sitios para comer así como sitios donde comprar cosas. También nos reservo muy barato unas plazas en un barco para ver el aarti ceremony, asique todo un acierto. Gracias annant.

Really enjoyed the walking tour! Lots of really good information and some hidden spots in the city! Also got to try some street food which was delicious!:)

Nube fue un gran guía! Nos encantó el tour y lo adaptó a nosotros a la perfección. Además muy simpático y atento. Repetiríamos!

El tour fue entretenido y las explicaciones de Akash nos ayudaron a entender más la cultura india y la ciudad.

Chandon war ein sehr angenhmer, netter, freundlicher u d kompetenter Guide. Er hat von Anfang an sehr nett mit uns kommuniziert, Abholung organisiert etc. pünktlich 4:45 haven wir uns im Hotel getroffen. Die Zeremonie Aarti am Assisting Ghat war sehr interessant, hier hat er uns sehr viel Rahm und Zeit gelassen. Bei der folgenden Bootsfahrt hat er viel erklärt und Fragen beantwortet. Aber wann der Motor aus war und wir auf dem Ganges einfach trieben, konnte man sehr Schön die Ruhe und Spirituality geniessen. Gerard a den EinäscherungGhats hatter wir ausreichend Zeit und Ruhe, zu fotografieren und viele Fragen zu stellen. Anschliessend ging zum Platz der Ringer, Leider war dort nur Training, denn die Kämpfe starter erst nach 8h. Da auch zu einem Tempel fur die Bitte um Fruchtbarkeit. Diese Erklärungen waren wirklich spanned. Ohne Chandan hätten wir einige Informationen nicht gehabt, einige Plätze nicht besucht. Wir waren 3 Personen, ALLE begeistert.

Thanks for the tour ! I could ask about anything and Chmura knows the answer :)

Great tour, awesome guide, definitely worth the money cause you get to experience so much of this city that you otherwise couldn't.

Everything was really good. Akash was very nice. I really think that this is the best way to understand a very complex city as Varanasi. Totally recommended.

It’s been the best decision I could take. Visiting the City with a local gives you a totally different experience. Akash has been the best guide ever. Nice and friendly, answering all my questions and explaining same things twice when i got distracted. I really enjoyed it!

The best tour ever! I’ve taken part in quite a few free walking tours around the world, but this one was definitely one of the best! Akash is an intelligent and professional guide. He took us to places we would never have found on our own. His passion for Varanasi is truly inspiring, and everything he shared about the city was absolutely fascinating. Trust me, he’s the perfect person to show you around! The 3-hour walk flew by like 15 minutes, and we even stayed chatting after the tour ended. Highly recommended!

His tour took us to places where we would never have seen. There were so many things about Varanasi we learnt that we thought we knew but did not. Wish we could have seen more because he initiated with his narrative a thirst to know more. He was very considerate of our age giving us time to rest and at the same time also enjoy the delicacies of the taste of Benaras.

We had a phantastic tour and time walking through the city.

With Anant you have an high professional Guide who will show you beutiful places and tell you a lot of high interesting information about all. Highly recomand.

Really enjoyable walking tour showing us the religious and cultural aspects of Varanasi. Learned a lot in the few hours and had the opportunity to try some local sweets, too.

El gurú me contactó por WhatsApp esa mañana y fue muy desconcertante, pues me dijo que él no iba a ir pero que su amigo iría pero que el pago tenía que ser sobre 25 € y fue muy insistente y preferí cancelar. Luego me dijo que el precio no sería problema y que por favor fuera la cita. Cerca de una hora de comunicación, súper confusa y muy presionante y desagradable Asistí con su amigo y el turno fue lo que esperaba a pesar de que el hombre fue sumamente amable y respetuoso.

An incredible tour with Akash, a very friendly guide 😁 He shown and explained me everything about very important places from Varansi and answer to all my questions (and I had a lot) !

Wow is an understatement. Anant knows Varanasi like he made the city himself. The spiritual capital of India comes to life within his tour, his knowledge, and his passion. His English was very good and he was very easy to understand. He was able to communicate all of our questions, and tell us things we would’ve never thought to ask. What an eye opening walking tour. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to truly experience what Varanasi has to offer. Thank you so much!!!

Really top tier tour with Niwas would 100% recommend to anyone looking to dive deeper into understanding Varanasi!

Very informative and friendly

Anant is a professional guide and showed me hidden places and locations that I would never have seen without him. The insights into the culture and religion were very interesting ans authentic. What I didn't like about the tour is that the guide took me to a shop where I could buy souvenirs, scarves, perfumes etc. It's unpleasant if you don't want to buy something. But all in all a good tour.
