Anant gave us the BEST walking tour today in Varanasi!! We learned so much about Varanasi and there really is something for everyone in this tour, from spirituality to architecture to history to tradition. His English is excellent and his knowledge about everything impossible to tire. He answered all our questions, which he happily urged us to ask. The tour was about 4 hours (partly to us also taking break from the warm weather), but it just flew by, because he speaks in such an engaging way. We saw the ins and outs of beautiful temples and shops, making sure to tell us more about them than we could have ever found online. Besides that we also experienced Indian classical music and learned about instruments through a lovely demonstration. A tour can only be as good as its guide and Anant is the perfect man for the job, his pure excitement and appreciation of the city is contageous and he did an excellent job at making us feel comfortable and welcome in a city that can feel overwhelming at times. So thank you Anant and hopefully see you again some time!!

Unforgettable Experience – A Journey Through the Soul of Varanasi I cannot recommend this walking tour of Varanasi highly enough. From the moment we began, it felt less like a tour and more like an exploration guided by someone who truly loves and understands the city. Anant was incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and engaging, offering insights into Varanasi’s rich history, and vibrant daily life. We wandered through narrow, colorful alleyways, visited ancient temples, and witnessed the rituals on the ghats. What stood out most was Anant’s ability to weave stories of mythology, tradition, and modern life into every stop, making the city come alive in a way that no guidebook ever could.

My free walking tour with Anant was truly fascinating. He took me to places I would never have discovered on my own while roaming the streets of Varanasi. I got to see so many interesting and hidden gems. Anant also shared a wealth of information about Hinduism, which really helped me better understand the local way of life. He was extremely knowledgeable and went out of his way to make me feel comfortable throughout the tour. Don’t hesitate to book your tour here, you won’t regret it. On the contrary, you'll gain a deep and authentic insight into life in Varanasi.

O guia Anant proporcionou-me uma excelente tarde passada nas ruas de Varanasi. Sempre sorridente, bem disposto e motivado, o guia Anant mostrou-me, não só os pontos mais conhecidos, bem como os segredos mais escondidos da cidade, sempre disponível para responder às minhas questões. Uma óptima escolha

Anant è stata la miglior guida avuta fino ad ora in India! Abbiamo fatto un tour davvero interessante per la città di Varanasi, alla scoperta dell’anima di questa città, delle sue tradizioni e della cultura architettonica e musicale. Super super super
