Harriet
Excellent and informative tour of Buddhism monuments in Sarnath. Really clear information and enjoyed the retelling of the story of the Buddha’s life on the grass behind the Stupa the most!
Amber

Mohammad
very imformative and knowledgable., delicious food. i recommend him.
Lesley
This tour is an absolute joke. Compared with other tours, this is far and away the worst. A host - Manish - with no interest in his guests or food. 4 dishes and I cup of tea. All in one hour. Tour was meant to be two hours at least. Our host could not wait to get away. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS TOUR AN ABSOLUTE RIP OFF. What a shame given our love of India and Varanasi.
Christelle
Nous étions 2 et c'était trop rapide pour nous, et pas assez de petites choses à grignoter alors que le prix est très élevé En plus j'ai du payer en plus Trop sommaire je ne conseille pas!

Varanasi is a place of spirituality and is a historical based place. We felt calmness in our soul near the Ganges River. The trip wouldn't have gone as well as it did without Tournival Journeys. Thanks to your team to make our trip so amazing.

We had a guided tour of varanasi which was very exciting! Manish is a great guide and knows everything about the city of varanasi and the culture. You could ask any questions and they were answered wonderfully. On the way we ate street food and drank mango lassi. I would definitely recommend him. It feels like a friend is showing you his favourite city…
Chhatrapal
Have been in the streets of Varanasi many times but with Tourrnival Jourrneys the experience I have been through was beyond the expectation. The pace of tour, management, explanation and above all when you have been down those streets, Places many time before but got to learn/ saw something different with Tourrnival. Had a great Fun.
