    I am so grateful to Manjeet for being such a wonderful guide in Varanasi. His care, knowledge, integrity, and love for this city and its visitors deserve huge respect. Having a guide like him is a privilege. Our second day in Varanasi with Manjeet was deep, special, and truly meaningful. Thank you, Manjeet, for everything you showed us and for looking after us.

    Manjeet did a wonderful tour of Varanasi and we were able to see things that you wouldn’t see on a typical tourist tour. I thoroughly recommend this Tour and Manjeet was able to explain in good detail in good English about what we were seeing.

  • Super fun, educational experience. 100% would do it again!

    We had a great tour with Manjeet. We met him at our hotel and got to touring. He loves his city and country. I learned so much from him (he will tailor the tour to match your goals of the experience). I had high expectations and hopes for the day and both Varanasi and Manjeet far exceeded them. It is a pretty busy area and i felt really happy to have him around. Gave me guidance on etiquette and some street smarts which were useful. Key things I liked: 1. Education on history, culture, and understanding Hinduism better 2. The time with him was well used- we covered a lot of ground 3. No shopping. - I’m sure he will do it if that is important to you. 4. He watched out for us and helped us have an amazing tour. I would 100% use him again and recommend him to my friends.

  • An Unforgettable and Perfect Walking Tour into the Soul of Varanasi

    We did a walking tour in Varanasi with Manjeet, a local guide and resident of the city, and it was an absolutely excellent experience. My husband and I truly loved it. Manjeet has deep knowledge of Varanasi’s culture, history, and daily life, and the tour gave us access to unique places that we would never have discovered on our own. The walk lasted around 4 hours through the old city of Varanasi, allowing us to experience the city in a very authentic and meaningful way. This tour is perfect for anyone who wants to truly understand Varanasi in its essence and immerse deeply in its culture. We visited cremation sites up close, interacted with local people, explored markets, streets, temples, and ghats, and witnessed daily rituals. It’s an intense, real, and unforgettable experience. If you want to feel what Varanasi truly is — its colors, smells, sounds, people, and rituals — this tour delivers all of that. Manjeet’s English is excellent, which made communication very easy, since we are Brazilians, and he always took the time to clearly explain Hindu culture, traditions, and the significance of everything we saw. The tour included hotel pick-up, and when I requested a car instead of a tuk-tuk, Manjeet promptly accommodated our request without any issues. An excellent tour that we highly recommend. This is not just a tour — it is a life experience that allows you to truly live and feel what Varanasi is all about. We absolutely loved it!

  • Manjeet is a first class guide and we highly recommend his services

    Manjeet was a great guide and we can thoroughly recommend his services. He is personable, engaging, informative and was respectful of our wishes. We hired him for 2 days and had a very comprehensive tour of Varanasi. We went away feeling that we had seen everything that we had hoped to see. It was kind of like an amalgam of tours -foodie tour, (wow the local specialities we were introduced to were absolutely delicious) boat tour, walking tour (old Varanasi & the Moslem quarter, the ghats and Aarti ceremony ), temples and more. Thanks Manjeet for making our trip to Varanasi so memorable! Alice & Tony

    An excellent and knowledgeable guide. The tour with him in Varanasi was interesting and shed light on lesser-known aspects of the city. He is also a pleasant person and not overpriced. Highly recommended! Can also be reached at +917388130874

    I recommend Manjit as a guide. Showed places that only locals know, shoots videos and photos very well and made us rails as well. Nice, tidy, drove to restaurants with good cuisine. Always on time went wherever he agreed. 10 points.

  • Outstanding private tour in Varanasi

    I booked Manjeet for a 4 hour walking tour when I travelled to Varanasi solo. I’m so glad I did. He was an outstanding guide; full of knowledge and subtly adapting our walk to what I was interested in. Varanasi is such an intense, overwhelming and unique place and I wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much without him. He ended up taking me on 3 separate tours, each one excellent, giving me different insights into this vibrant culture. He’s also a yoga teacher and a great photographer. Highly recommended.

  • An unforgettable pilgrimage to Navaratri

    I would like to express my incredible gratitude to our wonderful guide Manjeet Sahani! Who, throughout our pilgrimage to Varanasi and Guahani (Assam province), during the celebration of the autumn Navaratri, was our guide, who fulfilled all the tasks with distinction. There was not a single request that our guide could not fulfill. His ability to show a true, non-"tourist" India is impressive! It was only thanks to Manjit that we were able to visit the oldest temples and places of strength hidden from the usual gaze and away from the tourist trails. And it gave us the opportunity to have an unforgettable and very important experience, to come to incredible realizations of important things) Thank you, Manjeet, everything was great!
