Superb Trip - Banaras first time and well guided by Prakash. He is a pro guide and knows the best places around. We were on a spiritual tour so he planned important temples for first time visitor. We had only a day but he managed it very well, especially thankful for customising as per our time preferences. The trip was memorable and surely coming back for more visits to Banaras. God bless you Prakash. (It's advisable to have a guide in Banaras if you are first time visitor. )

Great tour with expert guide - Great tour. Especially loved the tour through the hidden alleyways. Loved how we were able to cover a lot of ground in a relatively short amount of time. His restaurant recommendation had some of my favorite food of the trip. Highly recommend this experience if you’re in Varanasi

Super guide Varanasi - I was very lucky to find Prakash through the TripAdvisor. I was apprehensive about visiting Varanasi during the mad rush of Kumbela. Lo and behold, I was surprised by the superb arrangements made by Prakash and his personal attention to detail, including him, trying hard to save me money! We were carrying the ashes of my brother-in-law and he made arrangements for a wonderful prayer at the ghat with a Poojari followed by a personal boat trip to disperse the ashes in the Ganges. Then he arranged for a shortcut to enter the temple while there was an eight hour waiting line. Later in the evening he made arrangements for a private boat trip to see all of the different ghats in Varanasi followed by front row seats in a boat to see the Ganga Aarti at the end he was able to extract us through the crowds and take a safely to our hotel. His arrangements for the pre/post visit car trips was also superb. I have him on speed dial to recommend him to any person visiting Varanasi.

Great tour - We first walked through the city center, discovered the silk and saree shops. Secondly, we walked along the Ganges which was extremely interesting and the views were amazing. We finished off with a mosque, little temples and a lassi. The guide was great. He was very knowledgeable, had an answer to every of our thousand questions. Also, it seemed like he is interested in showing us the hidden gems as well as the „must does“. He was happy to get feedback from our side and was open to costumize the tour as we wish. Enjoyed it a lot.

Prakash is amazing! - Prakash is an amazing guide. His knowledge of the city - its history, current affairs, the people living there - is unparalleled. He’s super fun and engaging. He has contacts through the city that allow him to get things done quickly and efficiently. He can whisk you off on a tour, or go with the flow and do whatever you want. If you’re hesitating about booking a tour with Prakash, then don’t. You won’t regret it. Thank you Prakash for an amazing time in Varanasi!

Creating memories - I had taken responsibility to pick a guide of our trip. Trip was a very special one with my girls from college and we were venturing into a city we hadn’t visited before. As they say conversations make a big difference. I picked prakash ji after speaking to 3 guides - it was very evident he was keen to personalize and didn’t build unnecessary expenses. On ground our experience was even better - we kept tweaking the plan, visited some hidden gems, were in the front row for the Aarti, got to some of the best eateries, things were eased out to have fun, enjoy the giggles and click loads of pics. [ I did manage to attend a 2 hour meeting on call while being on a walk - talk about work life balance ]. His connections in Sarnath sealed the trip for us. Above all, the sense of safety that we felt while being in the trip makes me recommend prakash ji to solo or girl travellers. One nice bucket list ticked.
