This activity is a must. It is impossible to go to Varanasi, the holy city, without visiting its temples. Gagan is an excellent guide who knows his city and the temples we visit with him very well. Very informative and interesting. I highly recommend him.

This visit was enriching and full of surprises. Our guide Gagan Kumar gave us a city tour punctuated with anecdotes and useful and necessary explanations in order to understand this magnificent city. During the visits to the various temples or places of worship, he takes the time to explain all the rituals as well as the deities and their roles in the history of the city. We highly recommend this tour with Gagan Kumar who will make you live an incredible experience.
