  To unlock the secrets and beauty of Varanasi, you'll definitely need a guide. We booked Karan through the recommendation of a friend and found him to be the best guide... read more on our tour of India. We had a little over 24 hours in Varanasi, and he was with us till well after sunset and before sunrise the next morning. His English is excellent. Karan shares not just the standard guidebook facts about Varanasi but also the stories of the culture and people that bring it to life. I highly recommend his tour of northern portion of Varanasi. He took us through many alleyways and buildings we would not have dared to venture on our own. Along the way, we had both the best lassi and best samosa I've ever had. Cannot recommend him enough.

  I wrote a trip review for Karan after my trip to Varanasi in 2018. I went back to India at the beginning of 2020 (prior to the lock down) and... read more absolutely had to go back to do another tour with Karan since we have kept in touch since my first trip. In my last review I stated how nice it was that I felt like I was leaving India with a new friend, and that has not changed. He is honest, kind, and extremely knowledgeable, and I cannot recommend his services highly enough. I place a lot of stock in who people are, and he is someone I value as a person.

Separately, as a woman who frequently travels alone, I feel safe with him. This feeling is worth a lot to me, so I encourage solo female travelers to consider his services if they are looking for a tour guide. You will feel like you're being cared for by a friend and you will learn a ton about India in the process. I love learning from him.

The next time you're in the northern part of India, do yourself a favor and book with him. He is well worth it.

My brother and... read more I were taken on a old city heritage tour by one of their team members, Nikhil Singh who was patient, well informed, well read and had answers to most of our questions. Trust their team to lead you through the old lanes of Kashi and you will be grateful! Nikhil was very patient even though it was an extremely hot day and we were out walking during mid day. We visited the flower market, thatheri bazaar, mainikarnika ghat to name a few places. Overall, please book them on your next visit to Varanasi.

Had a fabulous day with Karen and visited the back lanes, did boat tour and a short visit of Sarnath before departure. He has a lot of experience in art world and History. One need to experience himself to get so much of information from him. Just go for Sachan Walking Tour.
