Good Tour and guide - This was an enjoyable private city tour in an air conditioned car . Our guide was Ramesh and he was very knowledgeable on the city. We were able to catch all the highlights of the city in this tour.

Touristic Highlights of Bangalore - I recently took the Touristic Highlights of Bangalore tour and it was an amazing experience! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us to understand the city and its rich history like a local. The food tasting was a wonderful addition, as we got to sample some of the best local delicacies. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bangalore, as it truly gives you an authentic and memorable experience of the city. 5 stars!

Not private, not all spots seen, charged intransparent extra fee - Hi, I booked a private Tour in Bangalore on a short notice of two days, they accepted which I appreciate. Pick up from hotel which I entered during booking should be included. On the day of the tour I got a message "1000 extra for pickup. please confirm to continue". I accepted because of F_CK Y_U EAT MY MONEY and the tour started on time. They know if I got this message 1 or 2 days in advace I would cancel. It should be a PRIVATE tour but on the first stop I got accompanied by 3! (very friendly) other tourists who booked the same tour also as private tour. We skipped the first sightseeing spot Cubbon Park (which was on the list). Second was done, third was an unanounced stop at a souvenir shop. No one of the group was interested in shopping. Tour continued, we skipped another spot on the list and despite asking for 1000 extra they now tried to get 1200 extra. The driver was very nice and seemed to be not informed about anything. The guide was friendly, had some knowledge about bangalore and indian history (which he repeated many times so pretend to have a lot of knowledge) but beeing so greedy is disgusting and leavs a bad taste to this tour. In de end we could not make all sightseeing items in the list and they tried to do a second souvenir stop instead which I could avoid.
Request for a refund of 20% because of not private tour, not all stops seen and not mentioned extra cost for pickup seems to be fair but was declined by viator, so please be choose wisely
