5.00I was looking for a nice running and sight seeing tour in Bengaluru. And I found this offer. It was more and better than expected. Praveen already contacted me the day before to ensure meeting in the morning works well. He guided me trough several parks and botanical highlights in Lalbagh Park - impressive. Even apes, fruit bats and cows and dogs on the way. Finally the breakfast at an old traditional restaurant - marvellous !
A very fresh take on Bangalore

5.00Praveen is a very knowledgeable guy who was able to explain everything from ancient to modern history regarding Bangalore and the world for the matter. He's very passionate about what he does and you can definitely feel it. He's very very good at combining horticultural facts with cultural and historical data and implications as well which I think is a super unique take. Definitely check out their instagram (search hidden gems tours)!
Fantastic experience

5.00Praveen is an absolute Gem of an individual. His easy manner and caring attitude is exceptional , so much so that my business colleagues and I invited him to dine with us after the running tour and joined his sightseeing tour the next day as well. I would highly recommend Praveen and his tours which are very informative and definitely good value for money. All the very best Praveen !

5.00Best way to constantly explore the hidden secrets of the city. We booked a running tour with Praveen for two. He picked us up in his car at the hotel and we started our tour in the Botanic Garden. Praveen has a great knowledge of flora and fauna, the history of the city and knows many hidden corners in addition to the hotspots. We saw a lot on this tour and got a whole new view of the city again. Getting up early was more than worth it, we absolutely enjoyed the run, the experiences and the local breakfast and would do it again anytime. Praveen is an enthusiastic runner and Bangalore insider who absolutely enriched our journey. Thank you so much!
The best tour guide in India!

5.00I've been on 2 Running Tours now with Praveen and he took me on a new beautiful route each time. He's SUCH a lovely knowledgeable and passionate guy. Id have never seen or understood the areas if it wasn't for him, as well as the special local breakfast spots he took me 😊
Brilliant running tour

5.00On a return visit to Bangalore, I’ve booked another running tour of Bangalore with Praveen. What an excellent tour. Praveen was able to select a new running route for us that enabled me to explore a new part of Bangalore I am quite sure I would never find without a local guide. Praveen proved an apt and friendly expert who could easily give detail and context to the variety of sites we visited. As a running tour, Praveen kept our pace consistent and casual. We completed 10k in about 90 minutes as we took several pauses to visit a church, Sikh temple and other cultural spots. Our run was a mix of city neighbourhoods, parks and lakeside. For fit business professionals, aircrew or adventurous tourists alike, take the opportunity to go on a running tour of Bangalore with Praveen.
Great way to experience Bangalore

5.00Like many visitors to Bangalore, I was visiting the city for work. This early morning running tour with breakfast was a perfect fit to my work agenda. I would do morning fitness and breakfast anyway, so why not combine it with a tour to know better the city where my work associates live and many come from. Praveen was a brilliant guide. He was prompt, exceedingly knowledgeable, engaging and fit for our laid back running tour of three parks and the neighbourhoods in between. Our tour was a mix of history, culture and discovery of the local flora and fauna, which were all exceedingly diverse and novel. We also attended a local temple and had a very delicious local breakfast, shoulder to shoulder with locals; always the sign of a great restaurant. Bangalore is chock full of fascinating new sights and smells. Having Praveen to curate the discovery of these, while trotting among a bustling morning in Bangalore, is an experience I doubt I will ever forget. His flawless communication and keen listening made him the perfect guide to enable me to rapidly immerse into and grasp the beautiful complexity of this exceptional location. As a bonus, my local work colleagues were both impressed and appreciative of my exploration of their city. This deepened our mutual respect enabling me to increase my effectiveness at work. Win / win.
Historical running tour done right

5.00It was brilliant. I had a great time running with Praveen. He took me to some of the hidden nooks in the city. But the best was the breakfast after the run :-D
The BEST way and company to experience Bangalore!

5.00After a wonderful experience together in February 2023, I booked another running tour with Praveen and his business. Mr Praveen Singh kindly tailored an amazing tour for me around the beautiful city of Bangalore. Picking me up at my hotel at 6am, he first showed me the incredible flower markets, followed by a great run around the city of Bangalore, visiting most of the key attractions. We ran through Cubbon Park, nice government buildings / places, some churches and temples. We were even very blessed to take part in the Bangalore Marathon (unofficially by running a few KM’s), with Praveen’s expert knowledge of the roads. We went to a local restaurant for breakfast - and had nice coffee, Dosa’s, Vada. Beautiful food! For me personally, this is one of the best ways to see all of Bangalore. But even if you aren’t a runner and prefer to walk, they will be very flexible with your requirements, and have many other tours that they can offer. Praveen is a true gentleman, humble, trustworthy, friendly and honourable man. He has expert English and so very knowledgable with the history of India and the Bangalore city. I look forward to man more explorations and experiences with my friend!

5.00For the second time i booked a running tour in Bangalore with local guide Praveen Singh. For me as a runner this is the best way to explore a city. We went to Cubbon Park. Praveen showed me again the daily life of the people of Bangalore. His knowledge of the history of Bangalore,amazing facts about the fauna and flora combined with 10 km running made it again a wonderful experience. Breakfast with locals also a very nice experience.
