Summary:
My nephew and I had an amazing tour of Varanasi with Prakash. He is a brilliant tour guide. Even though we visited when the Ganges were closed due to the water levels Prakash went out of his way to ensure we didn't miss out on any of the wonderful experiences of the city. I would highly recommend Prakash.

We had a great experience visiting Varanasi with Prakash. We saw places we wouldn't have visited on our own. We also had a great view from a boat of the Ganga Aarti. We appreciated all the explanations and details he shared with us. We entirely recommend him for a smooth visit to Varanasi.
