Vimal ji is one of the best guides I have met. He is highly knowledgeable, friendly and has an excellent network. Vimal ji is an artist turned into a professional guide who enjoys his work, can speak Hindi, English and Spanish. We, group of friends were in Varanasi during Dev Deepavali which is the busiest time. Vimal ji made arrangements to ensure we participate in the most awaited Dev Deepavali evening celebrations safely. He accompanied us throughout the trip making sure we experience the best of Varanasi; our temple visits, boat rides, Ganga aarthi, sightseeing, shopping and eateries were perfect.Vimal is a very authentic and honest guide. His knowledge immersed us in Varanasi’s spiritual experience and history. He is a well spoken and informed guy about India, Civilizations and above all Kashi. I highly recommend him and will continue to render his services as I come back to Kashi.
