Excellent Sarnath tour! The guide has deep knowledge of Sarnath and Varanasi, and we learned a lot from him. The car was spacious and clean, and he was flexible and very helpful. A great experience overall.
Our guide has detailed knowledge of the birth of Buddhism and Sarnath. The experience was exhilarating. I would strongly recommend not missing out on the Sarnath tour if you visit Varanasi.
Because he knows many things. It's worth listening to. His tours around Vanarassi are very interesting and worth spending time with.

We had a lovely tour of Sarnath with Vinod: he was very knowledgeable, kind and entertaining. We would definitely recommend him as a guide.
We had the boss on this tour, Indrajeet, And like Vinod he is very passionate and proud of his city. He gave a very detailed explanation of everything and never had any issues with answering any questions we asked. They were always on time and very courteous and friendly on all 3 tours we did with this company. Would highly recommend, don’t risk booking with anyone else!

We had a lovely morning in Sarnath with Mr. Vinod, who was so knowledgeable and patient with all our questions! The experience was so convenient and effortless which is really what we were looking for - we were staying near a ghat where cars cannot go but Vinod met us right at our guesthouse door and walked us to the car. Sarnath was beautiful and peaceful and Vinod was so hospitable, helping us with other questions and recommending where to eat in Varanasi. He really made us feel welcome and at ease. Highly recommend, thank you Vinod!
