Free walking tours in Varanasi

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

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

A good tour, rich in information on India and its history. Akash was very knowledgeable and clearly in his element, and gave he’s best to enable us all to start and finish the tour

Amazing tour, our guy knows how engaging the group and let us have a nice perspective and lots of information on site

I really enjoyed the tour, because felt naturally. We just walked and during that we discussed topics we were interested in.

Highly reconnected tour. Un paseo muy recomendable.

Anant knows all the right street food spots and foods, of course. Highly reconnected. Anant conoce todos los lugares buenos pasta comida callejera y todas las comida, por supuesto. Muy recomendable.

Our tour with Anant was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we met him, his passion for Varanasi shone through every story, every detail, and every stop along the way. His deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and spirituality brought each site to life in a way that books or videos never could. What truly stood out was his professionalism and warmth — he was punctual, well-organized, and attentive to everyone’s interests and comfort. Whether we were wandering through the narrow lanes or watching the incredible Ganges river and its Ghats, he shared amazing stories and local insights that helped us really feel the spirit of Varanasi. If you want to experience Varanasi through the eyes of someone local who genuinely loves and understands it, I can’t recommend Anant highly enough. A five-star experience all around!

Great tour qith Anant. Lots of places that you cant find on the web.

I had a great experience this morning having the tour with Chandan. He has made an amazing job explaining everything about Indian culture and Hinduism. We also had a beautiful sunrise. Chandan have Ben very open to answer any question or doubt. Thanks Chandan

I had a great time on this walking tour, lots of interesting people information about the city, places we visited, would recommend!

A very thorough tour of Varanasi exploring daily life, the spiritual side of the city and street food. It was a great tour. I saw and learnt a lot. Anant is knowledgeable and gentle in his manner. I highly. Recommend.

Anant is a friendly guide who knows everything about the city. I really liked that he explained hinduism and the important things about Varanasi through the street art in the city. Anant is very enthusiastic about Varanasi which I liked. I would have liked a little more transparency about the specific itinerary of the tour. But overall, it was a inspiring experience!

The walk in Varanasi was a great start to my experience here. We explored many temples, hidden alleys and learned about the mysteries and magic of this city. Very interesting walk and good recommendations.

Ashak was a easy going guy, but I'm not sure if I recommended it, sometimes he was in a harry in other to relax, not sharing interesting info, just in the crematorium he looks more focus.

Akash was a brilliant guide. Explained everything very well, checking our understanding while ensuring it was engaging. Enjoyed having a chai with Akash after and someone who is very easy to chat too. Amazing tour and a must visit for anyone in Varanasi!

We had our tour with Niwas which was really entertaining and energetic. He made sure to provide us with a lot of information about varanasi and all the places that we visited. We totally recommend this tour :)

Akash was an amazing guide. We could schedule the start if the tour one hour later, which fit better to our schedule. The meezing wa spretty easy. Our guide remembered all of our names suoer quickly. He answered all questions super good and took us not only to big places but also small more hidden spots. The tour was super quick, it did not feel like 3 hours at all. We had a lot of fun, and Akash was very charming the whole time. Especially impressive was the stop at the cremation site.

Anant was absolutely brilliant and showed me many hidden gems of the Ghats. His knowledge of the history, community and life of the place shows his true passion and pride in being a local. His tour is pure heart backed by facts. I would highly recommend a walk with him to get a different perspective on the life and historical significance of Varanasi.

Anant’s tour was excellent! He is so knowledgeable about history and traditions of Varanasi so we learned a ton and had a very spiritual experience. Highly recommend!

Nice guru. He spoke good englisch and did a nice route and know so much about the city. It was a wonderfull experience. Thankyou!

The tour is great, nice way to see town.

I cannot recommend a walking tour with Anant enough! He went above and beyond to show us the city he is so passionate about, and even personalised the tour to fit our interests. The perfect introduction for anyone to Varanasi.

I had a great day today with Anant, the tour was well structured- covering all the aspects of the city. Hello answered all my questions and myths regarding Hinduism. Thank you so much Anant, your language fluency is commendable. I've been to Varanasi for once earlier but this time it was indeed more magical. I was alone in the tour, that became an advantage and I felt comfortable, also the interaction with musical instruments and some local shopping was great, later in the evening I enjoyed his food tour too; food tasting at its best. Totally worth it, I highly recommend his tour to anyone who wants to know and experience real Varanasi!

Anant was a great guide! We had a great time! it was loner than expected, and with some local traditional music lesson included. Anant have a lot of knowledge about the city and history. He is experienced. ¡Anant fue un guía fantástico! ¡Nos lo pasamos genial! Fue más largo de lo esperado e incluyó una clase de música tradicional local. Anant tiene un amplio conocimiento de la ciudad y su historia. Tiene mucha experiencia.
