Great day in Bangalore - learned so much and experienced truly Indian hospitality. - Prashant was great. He showed us some super local spots in Bangalore and really old historical spots. He was incredibly knowledgeable and able to tie things together from a world history perspective. He was also able to answer any question I had about Bangalore, Indian history or random spiritual questions. We also go to truly experience some authentic local quisine to wrap up the night. He made the local culture easily accessible and worth every penny. Highly recommend.

Wonderful tour - Prashant was a very helpful and friendly guide. I have learnt so much about Bengaluru, Hinduism and Indian culture. I was a solo tourist that day but Prashant made me feel at ease and was great in getting me to try new foods and fruit that I hadn’t seen before. Lunch was a real treat for me. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to learn more about Bengaluru and India and all it has to offer.

Very good tour with lots of insights and experience - Very well organized tour. We were able to see lots of interesting locations from Bangalore (Garden, Temples, Flower Market). We had lunch in a very good restaurant with tasty food served on banana leaves. Prashant and the driver were very sympathical and avalaible. We got a lot of info also on Bangalore History. I strongly recommend the tour and it's definitely worth the price.
