We had the most amazing experience with Roobaroo Tours, highly recommend!! Anupam, our tour guide, was absolutely outstanding. His deep knowledge of Banaras and its history was remarkable, and his storytelling skills brought the city's rich culture and traditions to life. His patience and willingness to answer every question made the tour even more enjoyable, and you could feel his genuine love for the city in every word he spoke.

A special mention to Tulika, who curated our itinerary with a personal touch. She ensured every detail was perfect. Thanks to both of them, our time in Banaras was unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Roobaroo was my second time this year during Dev Deepawali. Thanks to Tulika for suggesting me to stay and witness Dev Deepawali in Varanasi. Our Storyteller Anupam is an excellent human, compassionate and mindful. Me and my maa had one of our best Tirtha Yatra this 2024 with Roobaroo. The morning Ganga Arti at Assi ghat to Havan and Beautiful Boat Ride on Ganges, enjoying the serenity of Sunrise on one side to the humdrum of tbe ghat life on the other side. Each time Kashi gives us a new story to reveal and something to come back to her quickly again.
The evening boat ride and witnessing the Beautiful, Magnificent Dev Deepawali with Roobaroo is both Exciting, emotional and Enthralling. You are soaked in spiritual abundance and enchanting beauty of Kashi and Ganges on a Full Moon night. Gratitude to Roobaroo and Special Thanks to Tulika and Anupam for making it most memorable for maa and me.
Best Wishes to Team Roobaroo
Keep up the good work and keep giving life to our culture and Heritage🙏🙏

Thank you so much for your heartfelt words and for sharing your beautiful experience with Roobaroo during Dev Deepawali! It was truly a pleasure suggesting this unique time to witness the magic of Kashi, and I’m so glad that you and your maa had such a memorable Tirtha Yatra with us.

Anupam’s passion for storytelling and his deep connection with Kashi always bring out the best of this sacred city, and it’s wonderful to know how much his guidance added to your journey. From the serene Ganga Aarti at Assi Ghat to the stunning sunrise and the magnificent Dev Deepawali on a full moon night, your words perfectly capture the spiritual and cultural richness of Varanasi.

We are deeply grateful for your kind wishes and your appreciation of our efforts to celebrate and preserve our heritage. Your experience inspires us to continue sharing the beauty and stories of Kashi with the world.

The tour guide, Anupam Singh was simply superbly informed and motivated to impart as much information as possible to me.
He was patient, perceptive, thorough and thoughtful.
He let me have my time with the places where I needed more time to experience the vibes and energy.
He was knowledgeable and passionate about sharing Varanasi 's history.
Although it was a bit on the pricey side, I would highly recommend this tour.

Thank you the team " Roobaroo Walking Walks" for organizing the Varanasi North Walk along with some century old streat foods.
Mr. Anupam guided me and my wife Madhumita during the fantastic walking tour on 17/09/24 afternoon! His expertise and enthusiasm made our experience truly unforgettable. It was very informative, engaging, and thoroughly enjoyable. The taste of chhats, unique cesarean-bread toast with malai and white butter, special pista- thandai, golgappa, sweets and banarasi paan were the perfect complement to this memorable walking tour.
A big salute to our story teller and guide Mr. Anupam for this unforgettable walking tour and unique street-foods.
I wish Mr.Anupam and the entire team- "Roobaroo Walking Walks" all success!!

Regards,
Swapan Das
