This was a very worthwhile experience. Rajiv was tireless in taking us to all the sites we especially wanted to see; and his knowledge about Varanasi gave us background and insights we could never have gleaned from a travel book. Highly recommended.

hello Thank you very much for this wonderful discovery of Kashi. Your kindness, your respect, your good explanations about your city. We know more about knowledge, action and Prayer. We are now in sync with the cosmos. We felt safe. Your kindness is exemplary. We recommend you. We appreciated that you adapt to our pace and that you have words that are appropriate and understandable for our little girl who had sunburned before the visit. We appreciate your very human side, your positive energy. We wish you the best.
