What To Expect
Mysuru Palace
The Govt licensed guide will meet you at the Varaha South entrance Gate of Mysore Palace. Vehicle parking is available only at this gate while tickets are also sold only here. The Mysore palace is the most extravagant & luxurious palace in South India. It is called the "Versailles" of India. It was built in 1912 in Indo-Saracenic style with the Chief Architect being Henry Irwin, an Englishman. The grandeur of Mysore Palace is such that it is embellished with - tiles from England, marble from Italy, Chandeliers from Czeckoslovakia, cast iron pillars & stained glasses from Scotland, teak wood from Burma, jaguar bronze statues from England, etc. The Mysore palace stands in the middle of a sprawling 45 acres of land which houses many temples as well. It is divided into two halves - one (better) half managed by the State Govt while the other belongs to the royal Wodeyar family. Mysore Palace has been ranked among the 10 best palaces in the World by the British blogging site Original Travel.
This Palace, built in 1861, is one of the prominent landmarks of Mysore. It currently houses one of the most wonderful collections of paintings from Raja Ravi Verma, Nikolai Roerich, Haldenkar (the famous Lady with the Lamp painting), apart from murals and extraordinary contemporary paintings from famous Indian artists. The Art Gallery also houses exhibits which include weapons of war, classical musical instruments, sculptures, brassware, antique coins, and currencies. A unique artefact exhibited here is a French clock which has a mechanism in which a parade of miniature soldiers is displayed every hour, beating drums marking the seconds, and a bugle marking the minute. Tourists ignore this treasure trove which represents Indian Art and Handicrafts in its abundance.

5.00A great moment of exciting discoveries and stories thanks to our guide Lakshmi ♥️ who made us visit the Palace of Mysore very alive as well as the Jaganmohana Arts Palace that we would have passed through a bit quickly if it had not been there.

4.00We were lucky enough to be the only 2 people on this tour so we had the guide to ourselves. Devaraja (our guide) was extremely informative and helpful. That said, if there had been 4 or 6 people or more in this tour it would have been difficult as understanding through his accent was challenging and often I would have to repeat what he said so my wife could understand. The palace was superb and timewise took the majority of our tour which lasted 3 hours. The art gallery was so so and could be skipped. The Market was excellent but could have been done on our own.
A wonderful experience

5.00Devraj was an amazing guide. His knowledge and explanations in the Palace were so clear. He was also able, while we walked, to talk about life in Mysore and really went the extra mile to make the trip memorable. Ask for him, he’s great.
Great tour of Mysore palace and beyond

5.00Devaraja was a very knowledgeable guide who was able to share lots of information about the history of Mysore and its rulers. Mysore Palace is a wonderful building to visit - the scale is breathtaking. We also really enjoyed going around the art gallery/museum - some of the paintings were beautiful! Devaraja paced the tour really well and also gave us time to stop for a well needed cool drink.

Great Weekend Visit to Mysore

5.00After a fantastic weekend discovering Bangalore with this company, I chose them again for this Mysore Heritage walk. Again, I found the tour and guide (Devaraju) great and the overall experience well worth the cost given the explanations, flexibility, and convenience. In my experience, Mysore has less to offer tourists in terms of major sights, but there are still some must-hit places such as the Mysore Palace and Chamundi Hills that make a day (or weekend) trip to the city worth doing. If you do decide to visit, I would highly recommend hiring Bangalore and Beyond to enrich your trip!
Nice soujourn and a weekend gateway

5.00The guide Dinesh demonstrated an ample amount of knowledge about the places we have visited and also beyond that! It was a great pleasure to spend time in his company. No need to say anything about the beauty of the Mysuru palace - pictures speak for themselves and say a crore of words. Highly recommended!
