5.00Ravi gave us a fascinating half-day tour of Sarnath. He did a great job of explaining the location's history. Even though the tour lasted only half a day, he was quite thorough in his explanation. He provided a wealth of advice on where to shoot excellent photos. Great photos of our tour were also taken by Ravi. He's an excellent guide.
Really in-depth and worth the money

5.00Fantastic trip for those who would like maximum detail on Buddhism and history of the site. Out guide, Ravi, knew a lot about religion and history of the side and archeological detail too. He also adjusted info based on our context. This was really appreciated, I don’t remember having such a competent guide before! We spent half day in Sarnath and only stopped because we were getting tired. At no point did we feel rushed. Great experience overall!

5.00Great excursion. Ravi, our guide, was very intelligent. Gave a great dive into Buddha time and philosophy. The wheel for me started from that excursion. We liked it very much. Namaste.
