  My husband and I, both in our 50s along with our mothers (in their 80s) had been to Varanasi this March and at the very outset we decided that we... read more needed a private guide for the whole trip who can tailor our activities to suit our physical abilities. After an online search, I chanced upon Sachan tours. Looking back, I’m glad we engaged him. Karan was with us throughout the 3 days and made sure we missed nothing - the usual touristy as well as the ‘off the beaten track’ Varanasi. He took us for both sunset and the sunrise boat rides during which he familiarised us with the history of the place. We saw both Ganga Aarthis - morning & evening. He took us to the main 5 temples as per our wish and ensured that we went at a slightly less crowded time and were able to do things at our own pace. He took me and my husband on educative walks through the historical parts of Varanasi, around the Kashi Vishwanath temple and along some of the important ghats while our mothers rested in the hotel during the afternoons. He took us to safe eateries where we tasted local Banarasi street food. He took care of all the local transportation. It was a complete package. Karan is very friendly and knowledgeable - having studied history and having lived in Varanasi for many years. I would highly recommend him when you visit Varanasi.

Karan has reserved his days in... read more prior and we had some of the best tours we ever had with wandering in the labyrinth of the old gullies and halting to visit some of the most beautiful temples and mansions. Many of those came out only because of corridor project, as we were informed. Varanasi is a very nice city if one wants to experience the zeal of pilgrims, very safe for strangers. The best experience was to be at the Manikarnika ghat for the especial Holi with ashes from the pyres. Karan had the stories about every nuke & corners. Sitting at the turns in those centuries old streets and listening him with the tea in a terracotta cup is the best way to explore the oldest living city of the world. He was simply the best for his knowledge, superb English, punctuality and to organize everything very well.. :))
