He is passionate about the city and shared his knowledge in a very interesting way. He organised our tour so carefully. He communicated well and we came away feeling we had learnt so much about this holy place. Very adaptable and ensured we had prime seats to watch the Aarti ceremony.

He obviously loves his city of Varanasi where he grew up which really came across. He showed us secluded temples and got us a great spot at the Aarti without having to queue. We had a bespoke afternoon tour with heritage walk and visited a Hindu priest. So interesting. After the Aarti we went to a tiny restaurant for street food. Delicious and not tummy upset. Kunal also helped us find another guide, Sanjay, for when he was unavailable who was also superb. Both very knowledgeable and passionate. And for those interested in Top Gear, Kunal was the Varanasi guide for James May on ‘Our Man in India’. Read more Written 6 March 2024

My husband and I spent 4 nights in Varanasi in December and we employed Kunal to be our tour guide for the entire stay. The best decision ever! Kunal went well beyond meeting our expectations and he gave us so many wonderfully immersive experiences which were truly life changing. At all times he took exemplary good care of us. He took us far and wide to local places, meeting local people and doing local things which I doubt are on the usual tourist route. He is passionate about his city, his knowledge is vast and he has a wonderful way of explaining very intricate complex subjects in easily digestible bite sized chunks. Kunal went the extra mile to arrange a trip to Kolkata for us including all transport links as well as tour guides and phoned us frequently to ensure all was on track. We have never before come across a guide who is so passionate and caring and he truly made our stay both very memorable, informative and supremely enjoyable. Thank you Kunal, you are an amazing man.

From the moment I met Kunal at the airport, he immediately cared; he saw to it that my bags were handled, asked me if there was anything I needed before we departed the airport, and asked me how my journey went. He offered me a bottle of water and confirmed my hotel location, and once more, before we left, he checked and asked me if there was anything I needed before we began our journey together. Wow.   I've met many tour guides in my travels, and I've learned through experience that finding a tour guide who cares, is not in a rush, and provides safety and security while being a wealth of detailed historical knowledge, both ancient and contemporary, is a rare experience. Dear traveler, choosing Kunal as your tour guide gives you the gift of luxury. Enjoy Kunal. Happy Travels. Read more Written 3 January 2024
