Incredible experience in Varanasi! We discovered so many aspects of this iconic place. We learned so much thanks to Pintu and his enthusiasm in sharing all the information about the city and its culture. We attended the ceremony on the banks of the Ganges. Pintu positioned us in a great spot for a clear view and gave us all the necessary directions. I highly recommend his work and dedication as a guide.

We used Pintu for a private 3 hour Heritage walking tour of Varanasi. Pintu was very good and full of very interesting information about the area, and also helped answer a number of our questions about Varanasi, the history and the culture. The tour included some historical buildings, small temples, a small silk loom factory/room, meeting an old man who repairs silk garments by hand, a silk shop, and an ayurvedic aromatherapist who makes teas and various oils.

We couldn’t have had a better guide than Pintu. From the very beginning of the day, he ensured our experience in Varanashi was unforgettable. He took us through the most authentic and spiritual streets of the city (we went to a traditional aromatherapy workshop, which I highly recommend). Thank you so much for all your help and kindness.

We heeled very close to the door of Varanasi gemaakt with paint. Hij neemt je mee naar prachtige plekken die je zelf niet zo snel zult zien (Aarti van heeeeel dichtbij) een boottocht over de Ganges bij zonsopgang. In alles met enormous veel kennis die hij graag met je deelt. Een aanrader!!!

We visited Varanasi with Pintu, and it was a fantastic and incredibly productive day. He showed us the city from a spiritual perspective, which we really enjoyed. He knows a great deal about its history, and it’s clear he loves his city. He showed us temples, explaining everything in detail. We went to a local restaurant where the food was excellent—it wasn’t tourist food. We went to see the Aarti ceremony from a truly privileged spot, and he showed us the local street food.

We contacted Pintu at the last minute and he responded immediately. He showed us charming hidden gems, taught us a lot about Hinduism, and was incredibly attentive in answering all our questions. In the afternoon, he took us to see the Aarti ceremony in a truly special location. We highly recommend him!

We explored the city of Varanasi with Pintu. He takes you to unforgettable corners and shows you incredible places you probably wouldn’t find otherwise. You can witness the monks’ ceremonies up close, and it’s truly amazing. If you’re ever in the city, I highly recommend hiring him; you won’t be disappointed.
He speaks excellent Spanish and explained all the local customs and rituals to us.

Pintu and I had the best experience of our 15-day trip to India. He immersed us in the customs of Varanasi and showed us magical corners that would have been impossible to reach without him. He introduced us to much of the city’s street food, providing detailed explanations. During our visit, the river was high, and we couldn’t visit the ghats as they appear in the photos; however, we were still able to see them.

We toured with Pintu on several occasions. We called him unexpectedly without much notice, and he immediately called us back, answered all our questions, helped us with everything, and made us feel very welcome. Everything was so easy with him, and we loved his spirit and energy as he explained everything about Hinduism.
We would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him.

Pinchu brings the Spirit of Ancient Kashi and makes this a fascinating personal experience. This is his amazing talent. Or rather his talent is none other than the Blessings of Lord Bhairava. His genuine passion coupled with his rich experience of having grown up in Kashi puts him in a unique position to be not just a guide but to transport you to deep experiences of all that Kashi has been through history and continues to be.

What can I say? Meeting Pitu was the best thing that could have happened to my soul sister Marisol and me. She not only showed us all over Varanasi, but she felt our energy and understood our purpose. She gave us a spiritual tour of the city, helping us remember who we are and connect with our truth—the truth of the soul! Pitu, I will never forget you. I know that from Varanasi, your spiritual light surrounds Marisol and me.

A few hours later, after I was already in the city, we were able to meet, and I was able to explore the city with him and see many places that I wouldn’t have discovered traveling alone.

We met him on our hotel terrace. He was very friendly and unique. He guided us along the river, explaining everything very well. We watched the cremation ceremony from the boat and then had a front-row view of another Aarti ceremony. He also explained things about other parts of the world and shared tips to make your experience even better. Great guy, highly recommended.

One of the greatest experiences we had during our time in India was arriving in mystical Varanasi. 

Thanks to a great friend, we found Pintu, who was not only a guide but also gave us a truly memorable experience in this beautiful city. Fluent in Spanish, kind, and respectful… but without a doubt, I think what matters most is his passion for what he does.

100% recommended, it’s a safe bet.

We were lucky enough to bump into Pintu by chance in Varanasi’s Old City. The next day, we took a morning tour with him in Spanish. He showed us part of the Muslim quarter, several Hindu temples, and told us things we didn’t know, like the preparations for Dev Diwali, which are unique to Varanasi. We had the opportunity to learn a lot thanks to Pintu’s insights. I highly recommend taking a tour with him; there are very few guides in Varanasi.

We were in Varanasi for two days and we were really lucky to find Pintu, who showed us around the narrow streets. It was during the festival and everything was chaotic, but he did his best to make sure we had a good time and even spoke to us in Spanish, since our English is very, very basic, practically nonexistent, haha. Pintu was very kind and helped us every step of the way. Thank you, Pintu!

We spent two days with Pintu.
It’s well worth visiting the city with him and learning about its customs and way of life.
Pintu was very punctual, professional, and attentive in every way, even during our trip through Rajasthan, where he was always available to answer any questions we had.
100% recommended 

Excellent visit to Varanasi

We toured Varanasi with Pinto. He showed us the chaotic city and its main temples, ghats, and rituals. His explanations are clear and passionate; he organizes the group well and keeps an eye on everyone, which was difficult in our case, as we were a very large group. It’s clear he loves his job.
