Private tour of Varanasi with official tour guide

Vimal was a very knowledgeable guide who took great care to explain everything to us at the right level, answering all of our questions and ensuring we had a very interesting, enjoyable and informative day. Highly recommended

I would wholeheartedly recommend My Tour Guide Varanashi (Vimal Pathak)!! We used him for our trip to Varanashi, Prayagraj and Ayodhya in Jan 2025 and everything was just perfect!! As soon as I reached out to them for initial query, Vimalji reached me back with details and customized it per our needs. While arranging the tour, I discovered that Varanashi trip operators/managers are still not that tourist friendly/responsive as compared to other more travelled Indian Destinations like Rajasthan or Kerala. However, one only needs one good tour operator and Vimalji was the one. He gave a straightforward fixed price that included car, driver, guide service in all three cities for 6 day custom journey and did not even demand any particular amount of deposit but left to me to decide which showed the trust. In Varanashi, he himself acted as guide for first two days and explained all historical significance of the city, took us to Kal Bhairav and Kashi Vishwanath temple, pulled his strings to get us in quickly, arranged for Rudrabhishek etc. He also took us to some famous places for enjoying delicious chats and other specialties that we foodies loved. In evening, he took us for Ganga Aarti and arranged special seating which was just perfect to experience the splendid event. He was very timely, polite, and flexible and did not push any particular places (as many other do to get commissions). He also arranged guides in other two cities - Prayagraj and Ayodhya who also turned out to be excellent guides. I would certainly use his services again and overall experience included everything that a well-heeled customer is looking for. Har Har Mahadev!!

My partner and I did a private tour of Varanasi with Mr.Vinit, we are so glad we did! He was very knowledgeable of the history of the city, the culture and customs, the philosophy and traditions behind it and its streets and foods. His english was great (he can also speak Spanish) and his explanations were thorough. We were very curious and there was no silly question he wouldn't answer. When we mentioned that we were hungry, he even took us to eat some snacks typical from Varanasi from good hygienic places. We can highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in culture, philosophy and architecture, we were delighted with Mr.Vinit's expertise. Finally, communication with Mr.Vimal (who arranged the tour) was easy and straightforward, we patiently helped us arrange a time that suits our schedule.
