Overview

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 & expectations, but most of the time we felt that they leave Varanasi without understanding the true essence of the city, its glorious past and spiritual history. Did you know that in ancient history people dreamt of dying in Varanasi only and no where else? Varanasi has been the most important place for people seeking liberation and enlightenment, even Buddha got enlightened very near to Varanasi. 1. This walking tour is a journey, of exploring Varanasi in its true sense, a great induction of the city, its history, its vibrant culture, and its people with lots of wonderful stories about the city, fun facts and must do things in the city. 2. You will explore the city's gems in unique style of ‘infotainment’ that you would easily miss exploring by our own and will make your journey to Varanasi truly special.

Great walk with clear explanations

Published on Mar, 2025

Very informative walk. We were taken into areas which were quiet for India! Where we could hear the guide talk, while being shown parts of varanesi that you wouldn't necessarily find yourself.

Fabulous walking tour with Manish

Published on Feb, 2025

Manish saved our stay in Varanasi!!…We arrived without knowing the streets were going to be at their absolute craziest busy because of many thousands of pilgrims arriving for the Kumbh Mela…we were completely overwhelmed, but Manish met us at our hotel in the afternoon and very patiently guided us through the crowds explaining what was happening and why along the way. Varanasi is like nowhere on earth and thank you Manish for allowing us to leave it with some understanding and fond memories.

Spirituality and serenity.

Fantastic tour that went to the parts other tours cannot reach. Went to places we would never have known about and might have been quite daunting without a guide. The trip to the funery ghat was humbling and really showed the spirituality of Hinduism.

Awesome!

Published on Feb, 2024

Had the best tour ever with Manish! He's so friendly, it felt like going on a tour with a friend instead of a tourguide! He made a lot of effort to give me a very awesome experience! Thank you so much, Manish! Highly recommend it to go on a tour with him!

Very good experience

Published on Feb, 2024

Our guide was friendly and good speaker of english. He took us to different parts of Varanasi and provided with a lot of useful information about the history, traditions, gods etc. This tour is a good way to start your trip in Varanasi. Totally recommend it.
