About the tour
Come and join our contribution-based walking tour to learn about this vibrant city’s history, heritage and more with some of the most passionate local tour guides who will not just take you around Varanasi’s most important sites but will also share their own secret tips on how to experience Varanasi as a local!
Varanasi or traditionally known as Kashi (meaning light), is believed to be the oldest city on the planet standing today.
We have seen people coming to Varanasi with great hopes and expectations, but most of the time we felt that they leave Varanasi without understanding the true essence of the city, and its glorious past and spiritual history.
Did you know that in ancient history people dreamt of dying in Varanasi only and nowhere else? Varanasi has been the most important place for people seeking liberation and enlightenment, even Buddha got enlightened very near to Varanasi.
This walking tour is a journey, of exploring Varanasi in its true sense, this walking tour will enrich you and will change your perspective of the city, and will make your journey to Varanasi truly special.
Duration: 90 minutes.
Don't forget to bring water, sunglasses, sunscreen, and umbrella (in case of rainy season or summers).

6 months agoThe guide firstly told us how much was the minimum we should paid. We went to a temple where we had to pay only to see around. Never took us to the main ones as the Golden temple. When the tour finished in the middle of nowhere asked for the contribution before take us to some known place, looked like blackmailing. I will not recommend it at all.

8 months agoRJ was a very nice guy, who confirmed with me the tour beforehand on the phone and then we walked a little and RJ was explaining me patiently all the different facts about Varanasi and the Hindu religion. We went through the market to the main Ghat and then to the Manikarnika and back for the evening Aarti. Great tour.

1 years agoAl comenzar, el guía nos dice que el Tour es gratis, pero que si nos gusta que la propina sugerida era de 500 rupias por persona.
Después comenzamos el Tour; todo iba bien y el guía era bastante bueno, hasta que autoridades de la ciudad le pidieron su carnet de guía, el cual no tenia ya que no era un guía autorizado por el govierno. Así que hasta ahí nomas llegó nuestro Tour, ya que tuvo que ir a dar explicaciones, etc.
Mala experiencia.
