A must do tour! My partner and I took part the in Varanasi Food tour lead by Anant. We visited many local spots and tried lots of different tasty treats from samosas to traditional Indian sweets. Anant answered all our questions about the different ingredients and spices that were used. He took good care of us and ensured we tried a variety of foods. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Varanasi!

Profesional. Mostró detalles y lugares ocultos de Varanasi. Historia en cada esquina.

It was very informative, the guide was nice and professional, and it allows you to see the places you alone wouldn't see from the inside, which is great. For sure it's perfect for someone looking for gifts and souvenirs, for me there was a bit too much of 'you don't have to buy it's while presenting all the things I don't have to buy. Other than that really nice experience.

This tour is a must-do in Varanasi. The city is a maze and difficult to figure out on your own. The tour makes this part easy. Our guide also got us to places we would have never been able to find or see. The guide's english was also fantastic!

It was an intimate and very spiritual introduction to Varanasi away from the crowds and the usual routes. I felt we touched the soul of Varanasi thank you so much !

Die Tour war sehr hilfreich an Orte zu gelangen, die wir sonst nie gefunden hätten. Wir haben Köstliches probiert und Anant hat viel Infos gegeben. Jederzeit wieder. Sehr zu empfehlen, vielen Dank!! !

Excellent person be with to feel the KASHi

Anant ji's experience of 30 years was truly reflected in our walking tour. He ensured that everyone in tour was entertained with the history of Varanasi and his dissemination of information about the culture, spirituality and temples was incredible. I recommend Anant ji for such walking tours.

Good professional tour guide who knows the city and is willing to also do solo tours. Just ensure you manage time vs what you want to see as the duration of the tour was a bit fluid.

Did the tour to get a first impression of Varanasi. We were a small group which I appreciated. Started with a chai. We saw five different places and also had the chance to make a spontaneous stop at a famous Lassi shop in Varanasi. The guide explained a lot and we had chances to ask questions.

Thank you Niwas for the splendid walk through Varanasi! With your tales and info we understand a bit more the life of this city, so important for millions of people. Very informative walk. Good pace. Lots of memories and unforgettable experiences 😊

Would recommend!

Ottima esperienza. La consiglio a chi vuole visitare Varanasi

I had an absolutely wonderful experience exploring Varanasi with Balla Ji as my tour guide. In a city as ancient, spiritual, and culturally rich as Varanasi, having the right guide makes all the difference—and Balla Ji truly made my journey unforgettable. His knowledge about the history, traditions, temples, and hidden gems of Varanasi is simply outstanding. From the sacred ghats along the Ganga to the narrow गलियाँ filled with life and stories, he explained everything with such clarity, passion, and depth that it felt like I was not just visiting the city, but truly understanding its soul. What sets Balla Ji apart is his humble nature, patience, and genuine care for his guests. He never rushes, always listens, and makes sure you feel comfortable and engaged throughout the tour. Whether it’s guiding you through important religious sites, sharing local stories, or helping you experience authentic culture, he does it all with sincerity and dedication. Thanks to him, my visit to Varanasi became much more than a trip—it became a meaningful and memorable experience. If anyone is planning to visit this incredible city and wants a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and kind guide, I wholeheartedly and highly recommend Balla Ji. You won’t just see Varanasi—you will feel it!
