5.00I had a great experience on this tour of Bengaluru, even though I’ve been to the city a few times I feel like I got to know it better! Sunil was an excellent tour guide, sharing lots of knowledge about each place we visited. I felt very comfortable and safe during the whole time. I would definitely recommend this tour to family and friends!

5.00Chimnay was an excellent guide, kind and knowledgeable. I would never have been able to find or navigate some of these experiences by myself. I particularly loved seeing the silk work. The brunch was also delicious.
A great way to get a glimpse of real life in Bangalore

5.00This walking tour was a fantastic way of enjoying a bit of history while getting a chance to experience some non-touristy spots. My guide Chinmay was excellent - very accommodating, knowledgeable, and friendly. The pace of the tour was perfect for me and he provided insights that most tours might not have. Definitely recommended.

5.00Loved the experience. Puneeth was a wonderful tour guide and the apprentice was also very helpful and informative. He knew all of the places, was very knowledgeable and helpful! The best part was the flower market and the silk factory, the amount of skillset i witnessed was incredible. I recommend 100% but also be prepared for a « souk like » market.
Great walking tour!

5.00A truly wonderful tour. I've done several similar tours and this has been the best experience. Aditya was our guide. I specifically liked the guide's helpful narration and interpretation. He was helpful with helping me find mangoes which I wanted to purchase at the market. Lastly, I really liked how there was no stop at a commission-based souvenir shop where tourists are pressured to purchase expensive items. I really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it.
Great personal tour of Bengaluru

5.00I did the local tour with Aditya today & boy was it remarkable. I’m not a huge fan of tours, but this was different. It felt very interpersonal 1:1 & felt catered to me. He took me to places I wouldn’t be comfortable going by myself & got the local vibe. I loved visiting the temples & partaking in the ceremonies, trying the local fruit & adorning the flower & glass bracelets. At the very same time, I got a history lesson & homework to follow. I highly recommend booking this tour. I feel like I made a genuine friend here in Bengaluru.
