Our tour guide Vinod gave us a wonderful experience of Kashi. We had a tight schedule and Vinod made sure we experienced the best of Kashi in the limited time. What elevated our experience was his passionate explanation of history and spiritual significance of each site. He’s also an excellent photographer and helped take several candid shots of us as we immersed ourselves in the bliss of Ganga. We did the Kashi temple day tour and Ganga river evening tour with Arathi.
