I'm very lucky and thrilled that I called Ravi for a tour enquiry while I had already spent a day in Varanasi. He is a gem of a person and I managed to see all the highlights this lovely city has to offer because I was accompanied by a knowledgeable tour guide as Ravi. Plus point was he spoke very good English and this made understanding the city much easier. Being a native, he had a lot of factual data to share during our visits to all the ancient monuments. He tailored the tour according to my preference, did all the bargaining with auto drivers, boat operators and took me to nice - clean eateries which otherwise I would not have tried. He is a trusted, kind and simple person who has a lot of passion and love for his city and that is translated in the amazing way he shows the city to his customers. He went out of his way and met me at 440am at my hotel to accompany me for the 5am morning Arti at Assi ghatt as I felt unsafe to go alone at that time. Little did I know that the city was already bustling at that time. As a solo woman traveller, I felt very safe with him. Highly recommended if you are looking for an honest and knowledgeable guide who is also very reasonable in his rates!
