We reached out to Varanasi Guru and connected with Saurabh for help planning our short trip. His recommendations were spot-on, especially the early morning Subah-e-Banaras experience. The guided boat ride and temple visits were perfectly timed and smoothly executed. Truly a hassle-free way to explore this soulful city.

Had a great experience with Varanasi Guru for our Ganga boat ride. Everything was easy from the start - the booking was quick, they reached the pickup spot on time, and the boat was clean and comfortable. We got to see the aarti from the river, which looked beautiful. Overall, it felt organized without being too formal and we didn’t have to worry about anything.

One of the best experiences in Varanasi.
The walk felt personal, not touristy - full of hidden temples, stories, and real insights into the city’s culture.
Felt less like a tour and more like discovering Varanasi with a local friend.
Highly recommend if you want to truly feel the city.

Booked the boat ride for a quick girls’ trip and it was such a vibe. The staff was nice, didn't make us feel awkward or anything. They suggested a better timing too, which honestly helped with the crowd. Ride was smooth and the views were just beautiful. Would totally do it again without stressing.

Varanasi Guru ( Saurabh ) suggestions were very useful for us to watch the evening Ganga arati at Dasashvamegh ghat, Morning Ganga arati at Assi ghat subsequently boat ride thru 84 ghats and Vishwanath ji darshan. We planned our Varanasi visit thru Varanasi Guru and it was seamless experience.

Banaras is the epitome of unwavering love
for one another in the midst of the chaotic world that often dupes people by forging them into submissiveness and treachery.
Every corner of this place calls for its re-awakening of one’s inner self. It’s un browsing history finding its way back into the shallowness of hearts by dismantling the fears and despairs of others.
Our morning tour at Assi Ghat which was organised by Varanasi guru was one such example of this etherealness, it had left an indelible mark in our hearts for Varanasi’s captivating beauty and its simplistic lifestyle followed by the perfect blend of storytelling at Ganga ghats.
It was truly a wonderful experience to surrender ourselves completely in the womb of the nature.
