        Varanshi Custom Tour
        I would wholeheartedly recommend My Tour Guide Varanashi (Vimal Pathak)!! We used him for our trip to Varanashi, Prayagraj and Ayodhya in Jan 2025 and everything was just perfect!! As soon as I reached out to them for initial query, Vimalji reached me back with details and customized it per our needs. While arranging the tour, I discovered that Varanashi trip operators/managers are still not that tourist friendly/responsive as compared to other more travelled Indian Destinations like Rajasthan or Kerala. However, one only needs one good tour operator and Vimalji was the one. He gave a straightforward fixed price that included car, driver, guide service in all three cities for 6 day custom journey and did not even demand any particular amount of deposit but left to me to decide which showed the trust. In Varanashi, he himself acted as guide for first two days and explained all historical significance of the city, took us to Kal Bhairav and Kashi Vishwanath temple, pulled his strings to get us in quickly, arranged for Rudrabhishek etc. He also took us to some famous places for enjoying delicious chats and other specialties that we foodies loved. In evening, he took us for Ganga Aarti and arranged special seating which was just perfect to experience the splendid event. He was very timely, polite, and flexible and did not push any particular places (as many other do to get commissions). He also arranged guides in other two cities - Prayagraj and Ayodhya who also turned out to be excellent guides. I would certainly use his services again and overall experience included everything that a well-heeled customer is looking for. Har Har Mahadev!!

        Excellent trip curator and tour companion
        Vimal is an exceptional tour companion and trip curator. He has a vast knowledge repository of all things Benaras and is full of anecdotes and interesting trivia that leave you spellbound. My family loved his guided tours, we couldn’t have enough of him and requested him to stay with us throughout our stay of 5 days. He is very quick to leverage his network and help wherever required. A+++ highly recommended

        Fantastic company and guide to Varanasi!
        My partner and I did a private tour of Varanasi with Mr.Vinit, we are so glad we did! He was very knowledgeable of the history of the city, the culture and customs, the philosophy and traditions behind it and its streets and foods. His english was great (he can also speak Spanish) and his explanations were thorough. We were very curious and there was no silly question he wouldn't answer. When we mentioned that we were hungry, he even took us to eat some snacks typical from Varanasi from good hygienic places. We can highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in culture, philosophy and architecture, we were delighted with Mr.Vinit's expertise. Finally, communication with Mr.Vimal (who arranged the tour) was easy and straightforward, we patiently helped us arrange a time that suits our schedule.

        Great guide!
        Vimal was an amazing tour guide. I learned so much about the history and culture of Varanasi during our day and a half together. Despite the heat and crowded conditions, I was always safe. He was flexible and changed things up based on my interests. I would recommend highly to anyone looking for a wonderful tour guide!

        Relaxing Tour with experienced Tour Manager
        My elderly parents and I had a great trip to Varanasi courtesy Mr.Vimal Pathak. He seamlessly planned the itinerary end to end keeping in mind my parents age and interests. He allocated Mr.Arvind as our Tour Manager who went above and beyond to ensure my parents have a comfortable Darshan of the temples and experience the ghaats and culture of Bangalore! We had such a peace of mind only because we availed of his services from Car, Tour, main attractions and coordinating with Panditji etc. Would highly recommend My Tour Guide Varanasi and Mr Vimal’s Tour planning and guidance 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

        A trustworthy and professional guide.
        I had a wholesome experience at Benaras , courtesy Mr Vimal. His smooth and professional conduct as the tour guide ensured a memorable trip for me. His indepth knowledge of the Hindu religion and culture gives an extra edge to the spiritual tour of the city.

        Varanasi and Ayodha trip
        I wish to visit Varanasi and Ayodha , after searching online found "My Tour Guide Varanasi" Vimal ji..He helped with complete planning based on number of days and the plan is totally customizable as per our feedback...The moment I reached Varanasi Airport starting from Airport pickup to dropping back to Airport after the tour, complete trip was taken care by Vimal ji.. He assigned a driver with vehicle and a local guide for me who was with me in my complete trip.. If you want to Visit Varanasi or Ayodha and wish to have a local friend who know all the short cuts 😉 and be with you in the complete trip then I suggest to contact Vimal ji...All the best

        Great experience
        I texted Bimal based on his reviews and we were not disappointed. He has a wonderful sense of humor as well. He took me to all the places I wanted and more. I was really interested in trying all the local food…I have a very sensitive stomach so I was worried as well. But Bimal took us to all the local joints and not once did it upset my stomach. I’m sure he knew which were the “clean” ones! We would hire Bimal in a heartbeat if we went to Varanasi again. And his knowledge and how he explained everything to us was amazing as well.
