We did 2 tours this week and we loved both of them. The Sarnath tour was great, we learned a lot buddhism and we would 100% recommend any tour with Karan. He goes above and beyond to make every tour special. He is a wealth of knowledge!
Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your beautiful review. It was a great time with you both. Hope to see you again and wish you a great holiday in India. Kinest regards Karan Sachan.
We had an amazing time on the boat tour and the visit to Sarnath! Everything was perfectly organized. Our guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also shared fascinating stories and historical insights in a way that kept us engaged the whole time. Despite the intense heat, he remained energetic, friendly, and truly passionate about what he was doing – which made all the difference.

Karan is really the bear you guide! He knows everything about India. We had 2 great days with him in Varanasi and Saranth :)
Mr Karan is a professional art restorer and historian; I've rarely met such a knowledgeable guide. The driver, car service etc. were excellent; altogether a highly recommended tour.

Karan is incredibly smart and charismatic. What sets him apart from other tours is that he doesn’t just explain India and Varanasi but mostly importantly he was explaining things with a comparative approach against other cultures which shows his understanding and knowledge of not only India but also the rest of the world. I couldn’t recommend him enough!

Highly recommended! I took a tour with Karan to Sarnath. It was very good experience. Karan told me plenty of things about Sarnath and Varansi and also answerd all of my questions about religion, history, society and culture of India. He also is a very helpful and kind hearted man always willing to help.
Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your kind words. It encourages me for better work. I also had a great time with you both. Hope to see you again. Best regards Karan Sachan.
This tour was really worthwhile, Karan organised everything for us from buying our museum tickets to grabbing us a delicious coconut drink/snack for the journey home. He was very well-informed and answered every question we had. We came away with a much better understanding of Buddhism in general, thanks to his in-depth explanations. Karan was also very considerate when we asked to postpone the original booking after we had a difficult night’s sleep. Would highly recommend!

It was very easy to understand, and they even came to pick me up at my hotel! After watching the puja, we took a boat ride to sightsee on the river! They explained a lot of things to me, so it was easy to understand! If you come to Varanasi, please give it a try as it's a great deal at 100 rupees!
Hello guests, I am very thankful to you for this nice review. Wish you a great holiday in India and hope to see you again. Best regards Karan S.
