We are local guides. Our families have lived for many generations in Varanasi allowing us to know every hidden corner of this beautiful and ancient city, along with fascinating stories about our traditions, history, religion, and ordinary people like ourselves.

Varanasi represents the soul of India. A visitor alone can never hope to uncover more than a fraction of its secrets. Still, with our help, you will be able to discover the essence of this captivating city.

Our tour will start at the meeting point, from where we will embark on a 3 hours journey to discover the most important historical and religious sites. We will visit the Ghats, crematorium, temples, narrow streets, markets and popular food stalls, but also less touristic spots that are key to understanding the reality of modern Varanasi.

During our tour, we will be sharing with you historical information and other important facts but also telling you interesting stories about our daily life, our gastronomy and our customs.

Dashaswamedh Ghat:- Dashashwamedh ghat is one of the oldest, most spectacular and important ghat, located at the bank of the river Gange near to the old Vishwanath Temple in the Kashi. The literal meaning of the Dashashwamedh is the Ghat (river front) of the ten sacrificed horses (dash means 10, ashwa means horse, medh means sacrifice). There are two mythologies about the ghat is that the Lord Brahma was created the Dashashwamedh ghat in order to welcome the Lord Shiva, and the second one is the Lord Brahma was sacrificed the ten horses in a yajna here. This ghat is famous for the Agni Pooja which is held here daily in the evening by a group of the priest who are dedicated to the Lord Shiva, River Ganges, Surya, Agni as well as the whole universe.

I joined a walking tour around the centre of Varanasi with Akash, and it was a fantastic experience. He was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and he took the time to answer all our questions. He guided us through the labyrinth of the old city the way only a true local can. We really appreciated the tour — it helped us understand the city better and enjoy the rest of our stay even more.
Good!

Amazing experience with Akash! He provided the inside track on the city where righteous Hindus hope to die. Akash provided great context on religion and culture to make the sites we visited come alive. I especially appreciated getting to witness the cremation rites - a true privilege.
Nice walking tour to do upon arrival in Varanasi

Niwas was a good guide, very passionate about his hometown and sharing the history of Varanasi. I personally would have liked more time at the ghats and less time wandering the small lanes of Varanasi, we spent about 5mins at Manikarnika ghat, more time there would have been preferable to me as it is so fascinating.

It was a great experience, a break from the constant chaos of the ancient city with a walk into it's narrow, maze-like alleys with a lesson in history that we usually don't learn in books. Akash, our guide, was incredibly well-versed with the locality and its interesting history. Would definitely recommend.
Very nice entrance of 2.5 hours morning Varanasi

Akash is really a knowledgeable person, young and polite and I could listen to his English very much even though I'm not native English speaker and sometimes I had to ask meanings of unfamiliar wordings, every time he kindly explain with other similar wordings. If you have not received any reply of questions you sent advice, just send request for answer to Viater service, in my case, I received WhatsApp message from Akash, an hour before the tour. After that everything was perfect.
Wonderful tour with a...

Wonderful tour with a small group. Guide was knowledgeable, friendly and easy to follow. Highly recommend doing this on the first day to get grounded and see the primary attractions before wandering alone.
