We had an amazing experience in Varanasi thanks to Ravi. As female travellers we were a little concern about the safety issue, but Ravi made sure we felt safe and comfortable throughout our trip. We had very specific landmarks and experiences we wanted to have, and he made it all possible without any obstacles. Ravi arranged all the itinerary for us including transportation.
The walking tour was also incredible, exploring the city through the narrow streets of Varansi was something that could have not been possible without our wonderful guide.
Ravi is also very knowledgeable about the city and every aspect of it, we kept asking questions that he answered in a calm and insightful fashion.
Thank you for everything, Ravi. We couldn’t be happier with our Varanasi experience.

I was in Varanasi a week alone and I traveled over city's highlighted attraction as well as hidden valuable gems like, temples, castles, ashrams & many of streets, bazaar, ghats and River, old places where locals live in old part with Ravi.
On my request he adapted a tailored private tour for 2 days to visit this marvellous and complex city which was absolutely incredible, my wishful dream to travel Varanasi become true while I endulge myself in such a intuitive and distinctive tours with him.
It was not just typical touristic tour but completely unusual for some certain reasons to me, I learned much about spirituality, cultural diversity, many of rituals, very different perception about life and death, a whole new world what I entertained & have the benifit of the uttermost with organise tour leaded by Ravi.
I had magical tour to oldest city of India with Ravi who is great host and an authorised tourist guide, expert and very passionate about sharing his love to his beautiful city and I am very happy Could have this incredible tour with one of the best guide in town.
Ravi is not only a guide, he is attentive and considerate. Generous and open minded. You can trust him absolutly : he will do his best with envolvment for you to enjoy the best posible way in the city of lights!

While planning for Varanasi, I decided not to visit only the major attractions but also wanted to explore the essense of the holy city.. The people, the culture, the foods, the houses, the lanes, in short the raw Varanasi, which I believe wouldn't had been possible without Ravi. While booking the trip, I clearly mentioned my choices to Ravi and he planned the whole trip accordingly. He made me explore the ghats on foot, taken me to the places which people hardly know like Tulsi Das akhara, some old temples, Mukti Bhawan etc. I explored the best local foods with him. Only because of him I could visit and worship Biswanath Temple so smoothly even in the month of Shravan. He arranged a great place for me so that I could see the Ganga Aarti well.. As I was traveling solo, he was very careful about my comforts and discomforts in the whole trip and I believe this is his natural self to every guests who visit Varanasi.. I have never seen such a humble, helpful, knowledgeable guide before.
So If you are planning to visit Varanasi, pick Ravi without any doubts.. I am sure you will get the best experience with him.

Ravi has very good knowledge of Kashi's very old and reach divine history. He also know current /day to day updated information that helps tourist the most to know, explore and experience Kashi's different temples, Ghats, Aarti, good genuine shopping places etc. More than a guide, Ravi is humble, caretaking and honest person. For any age group traveler, Ravi is gem of a person and guide to be with in and around Kashi.
My mom and dad, both are 80 years old and form their arrival till deperture Ravi accompanied and help them to fulfill their various wishes of visiting temples, Ghats, Aarti and Pooja. My parents are so happy for the very much caring attitude and all little things Ravi managed for them, like arranging bring rixa in advance in crowded places and rush hours.
My parents told me that Ravi was taken care of both like their son. I appreciate and admire Ravi's hard, whole hearted work and smart time management. Due to this my senior citizen parents enjoy Hassle free Kashi visit. Thank you very much Ravi for everything and Kashi Vishwanath blessed you same spirit and energy.

This tour showed wonderful highlights, and Ravi was extremely kind, professional, and helpful. His deep love of the Holy City is apparent, and it's clear he wants to share this love with all who visit. My group consisted of two women who'd never been to India before, and we felt calm and safe the entire time under Ravi's care and direction. Not only was he very knowledgeable and energetic, but he was incredibly friendly and thoughtful, and he even took the time to check in on us when we ran into him later in our visit! If I ever visit Varanasi again, I will certainly take a tour with Ravi, and I will highly recommend him as a tour guide to anyone I know who travels to the Holy City. Thank you for a wonderful experience, Ravi!

A tour with Ravi bhai is like a dream come true for the first time travellers to Varanasi. He will guide you from the Airport/Railway Station to your hotel room. Will reach to you to make you feel comfortable and most importantly safe. I never for a moment felt i was away from home. You will never experience the true of essence of Kashi with any other guide. He will be throughout with you untill the end of the trip. The knowledge he has about the history of the place and the mythical stories he has to offer is just unimaginable. Literally, no guide in varanasi can match Ravi bhai, trust me. He has his gentleman way of paying sometimes when we are out of cash is just commendable, i tell you. He is calm and poised and is always ready to help. He allows us ample time after the Darshan to feel the vibrations and the truth behind each temple/ ghats/ spiritual places he shares is just out of the book for the other guides. The spiritual journey towards the ghats(manikarnika, kedar, Dasheswamedh and Assi Ghat) and the Kushti Akhadas, Rani Laxmi Bai shrine and the life of batuks and school children was just wonderful to experience. He takes care of everything be it food in between and shopping in the end. No wonder he is the best guide you will find in Varanasi. He's too humble for the job. I had a lot to take from him and Kashi. With his guidance i could complete my tour just like i wanted or maybe more than i expected. I am telling you again, there no other guide that will treat you as, "Atithi Devo Bhava". He will make you feel it. Trust me.
Thank you Ravi bhai for being a cool photographer, lovely story teller, perfect guide and for treating me like your brother. Cheers.

Varanasi, for me, is one of the most incredible experiences in India.
I was super lucky to meet Ravi as our tour guide in my first time back in 2017 and he will always be our guide in this city. He's such a sweet and kind guy and extremily focused on all the details of our daily visits. Once again, he made our days in Varanasi unforgetable and magical. The city tours are always a new surprise, Ravi knows exactly how to improve our experience in this city. Alwayws discovering new places, new aspects and new approaches.
Me, by default, since I took history and fine arts, I'm always fascinated about India and Ravi had the attention to give me more and more details about history, art and lifestyle in Varanasi. His suggestions are always precise, accurate and made me discover over and over this city everyday.
I can only suggest that visitors can contact and hire Ravi in order to have the amazing experience of Varanasi just like I had twice in my life.
Namaste, dear friend Ravi.
Defenitly we'll meet again in Varanasi.

During our short visit Ravi was able to show us all the highlights of Varanasi with his combined boat and walking tour. He made it possible for us to really see and feel the essence of the holy city which we would have definitely missed if we went just by ourselves.
If you are looking for an experienced, licensed and local tourguide, look no further! Because his tour is giving you lots of value for your money. And besides that touring with Ravi is nice and relaxed with lots of opportunity to chat, ask questions and drink some nice chai as well ;-) We were happy to have found him, thank you very much for a great experience!
