Amazing Experience with a Fantastic Guide - I had a fantastic experience on this tour, thanks to our incredible guide, Vasuki. He was warm, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable—sharing not just the history of the city, but also insights into the local culture and his personal experiences growing up here. I came away with many beautiful photos, but even more valuable was everything I learned.
The highlight for me was visiting KR Market. The energy was electric, and being surrounded by the vibrant colors and scents of the flower market was unforgettable. It was one of the coolest things I’ve experienced while traveling.
If you're looking to have a unique experience and really connect with the heart of the city, I highly recommend this tour—and especially Vasuki as your guide.

A colourful visit - It is difficult to find a French-speaking guide to visit major Indian cities: in Bangalore, Vishnu has piloted us through the city and introduced us to the cultural heritage but also to very lively places like the flower market, street restaurants... We were able to attend a procession that happened to be held that day in his neighborhood, a surprising and colorful visit, not planned: thank you for this initiative. Very good guide who masters our language well and did not hesitate to extend the visit widely.
Recommend without hesitation.

Service was prompt, and everyone was knowledgeable about the menu. It really enhanced my stay—thank you to the whole team!" And specially to Tassen, Bhanu and Biswajeet.

Great tour, worth doing - Tour was really good to get an insight into life here and the history. Vijay was very knowledgable and as a lone female I felt completely safe. He even escorted me back to somewhere I could get an uber after the tour. The flower market was the highlight, the colours and smells were amazing. Really enjoyed the tour.

Immersive experience, safe for solo traveler - This tour is a fantastic way to experience “the real” Bengaluru, visiting its vibrant market, two beautiful temples, and a sultan’s palace — all in just a few hours. I highly recommend grabbing a filtered coffee near the market; it’s a must-try!
Vijay was a wonderful guide, leading me through the heart of the city while kindly answering all my questions. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made me feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire experience — which I especially appreciated as a solo female traveler. Highly recommended!

very good, informative tour - This was a great tour for someone stretched for time but looking to see some interesting sights. Our guide, Vijay, was terrific and very knowledgeable about everything we saw. We definitely got to some interesting places - the flower market and Jain temple especially were incredible.
One note is that if you sign up for the afternoon tour, like we did, the Hindu temple is usually closed, so we weren't able to enter.

Excellent tour in short time - Vijay Kumar toured me around in a great way and within the limited time I had (2 hours) to 4 local highlights. The KR market was especially amazing with immense collections of fruits and colourful wedding flower bouquet makers (Vijay mentioned it was the wedding season). The Jains temple with its incredibly carved marble was also very impressive. Vijay walked me through all minds of back alleys bustling with people and traffic that were great to see. He is a great guy with proper knowledge who I recommend to everyone.

Amazing tour!! Thank you Vijay! - I recently took a walking tour in Bengaluru with Vijay, and it was truly exceptional. As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe and at ease the entire time. Vijay is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also warm and friendly, making the experience feel more like exploring with a local friend than a typical tour.
Each place we visited was brought to life by Vijay’s storytelling and deep understanding of the city's history and culture. One of the highlights was a stop for some of the best filtered coffee I’ve ever had—such a thoughtful touch that made the day even more special.
This tour genuinely completed my trip to Bengaluru. I left with a deeper appreciation of the city and its heritage. I’d highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting. Thank you, Vijay!
