Fun facts, flowers & a coffee stop - This afternoon walking tour with genial Mr Vasuki turned out to be the highlight of our trip to Bangalore. He is an informative & generous guide & we learned much about the history of Tipu’s Summer Palace & of Bangalore. Without Mr Vasili leading us though the packed markets, it would have been daunting, but he made it lots of fun, stoop to chat with flower vendors & buying us a local coffee when our energy levels flagged. The tour gave us the confidence to return to KR market alone & to wander about for hours taking photos. The people of Bangalore are very kind & warm-hearted. I’d highly recommend this tour in the company of Mr Visek.

Fantastic tour! Totally worth it!!! - My guide Mr Vasuki was so accommodating and friendly! He really customized my solo tour to meet my interests and preferences. He is so helpful and will take your photo for you at all the interesting locations. My favorite part of the tour was the magnificent, magical, spiritual white marble Jain temple!!! Mr Vasuki was so knowledgeable about everything and told many interesting stories about history, religion, and culture. I also LOVED the market bazaar tour, and I felt very safe and comfortable at all times. Mr Vasuki made sure all my needs were taken care of, helping me to get water, fresh coconut juice, and a delicious Indian coffee. Mr Vasuki also helped me call a Tuk Tuk to get back to my hotel, and negotiated a great price for the ride! Thanks to his help, I didn’t have to worry about getting ripped off, and I got to have a extra bonus adventure ride! I highly recommend this tour! It was the highlight of my trip here to Bengaluru.

10/10 - This tour was an excellent way to become fully immersed in Bangalore's history and local culture. I took the morning tour starting at 9:30 a.m., and felt that it was the ideal amount of time to spend walking and seeing the interesting sites before lunch. The licensed guide was professional and knowledgeable, and was a pleasure to be with. He was also kind enough to help me get into a car at the end of the tour so I could make it to the restaurant where I was meeting up with friends (thank you Raghu). I highly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour with Ramesh! - Had a brilliant time with our guide Ramesh, he is incredibly knowledgeable about the city and the whole of India. He was incredibly welcoming and made a special effort to make sure we enjoyed the tour by being generous with his time and never rushing us whilst answering any questions we had. On top of his excellent commentary, we could literally could ask him anything about the city and the country and he would provide an excellent answer. I've done a lot of tours in cities as part of big groups but having a tour with Ramesh has inspired me to seek out a a more intimate tour in the future. Highly recommended!

A fun tour with a kind tour guide! - We really had a good time with this tour to know about Bangalore. Our tour guide Narendra Kumar is very knowledgeable and kind! He was on time waiting for us and showed us everything described in the tour. The market was so crowded! He showed us some very interesting things in the market we otherwise would miss. He also helped us to purchase India spices. In the end, he surprised us to show the beautiful white granite temple! After that we need to find the car that would pick us up. We didn’t know how to tell the driver. Mr. Kumar was so kind! He talked to the driver and decided the location. Then he led us to the location even it was already out of tour time. We were so grateful for his help.

Excellent option for a small sample of all Bengaluru - Raghu (our guide) provided us with very interesting information while guiding us through all the places. He shared information about every place we visited and the history and life of Bengaluru, which Made the experience very enriching. Places visited are incredible and a great sample of everything in Bengaluru (history, religión, culture and people). 100% recommended.

Nice, but over-priced tour! - I had a great afternoon with Raghu, my guide. We’ve walked around the main sites of Bangalore while he was sharing histories and curiosities about the places. He answered all my questions and made me feel safe, as a solo woman traveller. The only downside is that the tour is quite pricey, compared to other similar activities in this region of India. It’s a great tour, just way over-priced!
