Free walking tours in Varanasi

We really enjoyed our tour with Akash, he was great and gave us lots of information about Varanasi. Would recommend for anyone new here that wants to know more :)

Il tour con akash è stato molto interessante. Mi ha raccontato un sacco di cose su varanasi sul hinduismo e su le abitudini della città!! Abbiamo visitato posti che da solo non avrei mai visto.

We really enjoyed the food tour!! We tried so many things that were all delicious and it’s great to build your knowledge of Indian street food. Anant was really helpful and showed us some bonus things around the city - would highly recommend!

Anant was the most amazing tour guide, he took us through the city very comprehensively incorporating both the popular and the more hidden locations. He holds great knowledge of the city and its history and I highly recommend his tours to anyone visiting Varanasi!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Anant Prakash ji. From the very beginning, he made the tour feel personal, thoughtful, and deeply engaging. Varanasi can be overwhelming if you don’t know where to look or how to experience it beyond the obvious, and Anant ji did a brilliant job of bringing the city alive for us. He shared stories, history, local context, and nuances that you simply wouldn’t get on your own. The tour never felt rushed or scripted, it felt like being shown the city by someone who truly understands and loves it. He was patient, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable, and adapted the experience to what we enjoyed the most. We thoroughly enjoyed every part of the tour, from walking through the lanes to understanding the culture, everyday life, and deeper essence of Varanasi. It was insightful, calming, and memorable all at once. Highly recommend Anant ji to anyone looking for an authentic, enriching Varanasi experience. This tour genuinely elevated our trip and will stay with us for a long time. ✨

Akash was een super goede gids. Een heel aangenaam persoon die veel kennis heeft over Varanasi. Hij probeert ook steeds zijn gasten te betrekken, waardoor het ook interactief is.

It was an informative walking tour with Ananth ji. It was nice to see Varanasi through a local’s lens. Really appreciated all the places he took me to and all the knowledge he shared. Since I was only one person on the tour, he even customized a few things based on what I wanted to see, eat or buy. Highly recommend Ananth and Guru Walks for your Varanasi walking tour.

Muy buena experiencia! Fue mi primer tour y me gustó mucho, Akash fue muy amable y con muy buena información, lo recomiendo!

We had an amazing experience with Anant on this walking tour in Varanasi. We spent more than two hours walking through the streets of the city, during which he explained in a very clear and engaging way the history and development of Varanasi, with a strong emphasis on its spiritual and religious significance. He also gave us great local recommendations, such as places to buy traditional sweets, lassi and fabrics, which made the experience even more complete and authentic. Anant is knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about his city. We would 100% do this tour again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Varanasi.

Great!

Akash was our tour guide, he took us to very interesting places, shared lots of information and answered all questions we had. Great tour as a first thing to do in Varanasi, very good introduction!

Good guide

Akash was a wonderful guide. He gave us a really beautiful tour and explained so many things to us. Highly recommended!

It was nice experience

The walking tour of Varanasi with Anant ji was truly amazing. His vast knowledge, deep belief, and passion beautifully portray the soul of the city. Through this tour, my family and I experienced many unknown facts, traditions, and cultural aspects of Varanasi that we would have otherwise missed. It was an enriching and memorable experience, and I would definitely recommend Anant ji as your tour guide for exploring Varanasi.

Anant was friendly and caring. He made sure that the walk piqued our curiousity while at the same time showing that aspect of Varanasi that only a local can show. He was keen on sharing information outside of the walk as well. Overall, a very good experience.

Понравился тур, было интересно, смогла спокойно посетить основные интересные места в историческом центре, заметить скрытые детали и узнать немного больше о городе и культуре

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.
