Summary: Vinay was prompt and an articulate host This was a spendid way to spend an early morning in Varanasi, although not quite as described in the Viator listing. The mornings activity overlaid with a highly informative narrative really brought what we were seeing to life. Would highly recommend.

Summary: The guide Vinay is a very good professional. He was always attentive to our sensations. He knows the city perfectly and the local shops. He will always take you to the right places to visit temples, taste local products or walk along the right streets. He came to pick us up at the hotel and negotiated our return tuk-tuk transfer so that we were not overcharged. We are very happy to have seen the city through his eyes
