I have done my graduation in 2014 from BHU University as well as I have completed my master's degree of Tourism in the year 2017. I am passionate about traveling, blogging & cooking food.

My biggest complaint is that we didn’t follow the itinerary listed on the website and spent most of the tour in small back alley ways rather than sight seeing. He told us the burning ghat was closed due to high waters (it was part of the itinerary) and then at the end of the tour gave us directions to go there ourselves, which we did. It wasn’t closed. He did send links to its exact location and answered specific questions we had. He was a great story teller and very enthusiastic. He was kind and enjoyed sharing his knowledge, but I think other tours would show you more of the city. We saw no major landmarks on this tour.
Jain was a decent guide during our visit to Varanasi. He provided helpful information about the city's religious and cultural background and was willing to answer our questions. He also suggested some good local places to eat. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.
Very good tour, Jain was very helpful and knowledgeable. Varanasi is a very busy chaotic place, he looked after us well.
Jain was a wonderful guide in Varanasi: informative, forgiving of my slow pace (I’d recently been ill) and encouraging to reflect inward of the places visited. Thanks so much!
It was a great experience! Highly recommend taking the tour and going to different places in Varanasi with good explanations! We had a great time
