Excellent tour and guide! - I had a wonderful time at Sarnath with Shyam. He was very knowledgeable, engaging, and interesting. I asked him many questions, and he answered every one thoughtfully and clearly, in a manner that was easy to understand. I really feel as though I understand the story and historic significance of the Buddha and Sarnath after visiting. I highly recommend Tourrnival Jourrneys (and Shyam as a guide!). 10/10

Interesting Visit - This is a very interesting tour that gives you an interesting insight into the history of Bhudda, his final resting place in the stupa and where he first preached. The guide was excellent with very in-depth knowledge.
