Best guide ever
"Whenever my husband and I travel to new cities around the world, we hire guides to showcase the city we’re in, and to teach us about its history and culture. In all of our travels, Anish ranks number one among guides. His language skills are impeccable, and he is super intelligent about everything. He’s a relaxed teacher who appreciates all questions. His intimacy with Varanasi’s hidden alleys made for very special experience. He also arranged for us to have excellent front row boat seats at the evening ceremony (Aarti) near or hotel. We hired him again the next day to take us to Sarnath, the site of Buddha’s first sermon, and to a silk cooperative, also enlightening. Can’t say enough good things about him. He was the best. Thanks Anish! "

A great 3 hours with a cool local
"We were a large group of people and had a great tour with Sebastian, he was very accommodating and friendly, made sure we had everything and shared his knowledge with us along the way. We got to some local places that were very nice to see. Very very nice tour with a very very nice guy."

Great day out with Big!
"Our tour with Big was just fantastic. We learnt so much about Thai history, culture and food, and of course tasted some amazing dishes along the way. I would recommend a tour with Big to anyone as an introduction to Thailand and Bangkok!"
