It was a fabulous tour. From food to visit to Kashi Vishwanath temple, to the mesmerizing Ganga Aarti. Kunal did everything to make it a memorable one. He is an expert on Varanasi knowing every corner of the city. He made it a wonderful experience, a tour we will remember forever. We went to each of the super food stalls. Awesome authentic food...Kunal helped us reach to each of them. Tomato chaat, paan, we do not have a sweet tooth...but loved the varied mithai options with expert help from Kunal. The tour planning was awesome, we went to Kashi Vishwanath temple, attended Ganga Aarti, did a boat ride, dip in the holy Ganges. Never did we feel that it was hectic, as Kunal took care of our breaks. Thanks Kunal for making it a trip of a lifetime.maximilianl627

Mr Kunal Rakshit is a highly informed, voluble, local from Varanasi who crafted the perfect experience and I really got a chance to soak in all that Varanasi had to offer. We checked out three weaving clusters - Lalapura, Pili Koti, and Lohota - and met a couple of handloom weavers and powerloom weavers as well. It was fascinating to see the weavers at work and walk the winding alleyways and observe the entire weaving ecosystem - creation of jacquard punch cards, machine repair shops, and wholesale markets. He got me a front-row seat at the Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedha ghat as well as an exclusive pooja by the priests just for myself and a handful of people! He gave me a guided tour of almost the length and breadth of Varanasi streets, markets, alleyways especially those behind the ghats where only the locals know about the best chaat and malaiyo. We also had a splendid view of the sunrise over the Ganga river which starts at Dashashwamedha ghat, goes towards Assi ghat, turns around and goes all the way to Manikarnika ghat. Honestly, without this exclusive guided 2-day tour of Varanasi, I don't think I would have had as incredible an experience and exposure to this divine city. Thank you so much!
