Excellent Experience
Bhawna was an excellent guide. She expertly guided us through the massive crowds and presented a lot of fascinating facts and stories and showed us sites that only a local knows.
I highly recommend Bhawna.

Great first experience with withlocals
We booked this tour pretty last minute as a previous booking had fallen through, and luckily we got a quick response within a few minutes. We met up and he guided us through the (very busy due to Kumbh) streets and alleys of Varanasi in a way we would have never managed on our own. Excellent food choices, my favorite being the seasonal malaiyo (sp?). Would recommend booking!

Bhawna is the best guide!
Bhawna was a wonderful person and guide. She spoke very good English and had a deep knowledge about the city, the people and the history. She took us to places we would never have found on our own and we got a deeper understanding about Hinduism and the life here. She also guided us to a restaurant of her recommendation after the tour. We give her 100/10 points!

Great tour with Bhawna
We had a great tour with Bhawna through Varanasi. She walked us through the key spots and explained things to us about the history and significance of the place. She also showed us some hidden gems and gave us tips which were great.
