Precious Guide on Mini Bengaluru Tour - Our tour guide, Deepti (along with driver Mahesh), was a gem! She met us at the hotel and even came out to greet us at the lobby. She took us to a famous dosa spot for a delish afternoon snack and at every stop her explanations were filled with so much knowledge and history. She took amazing photos of my friend and me and even shared some recommendations after the tour. A truly wonderful host that was patient with us walking in the crowded KR Market and made the tour so enjoyable because of how sweet and likeable she is. Happy we got the mini tour of the city!

Perfect half-day tour of Bangalore - The half-day Bangalore tour with Sushma was phenomenal. It was the perfect way to finish my stay in Bangalore. If you’re in Bangalore, and want to learn more about its landmarks and history, Sushma is your tour guide.

Great tour and excellent guide - This was a great tour. Sushma was an excellent tour guide. Good English and a real passion for showing us her city, Bangalore. Great to understand the history of the city and the influence of the English. Visited some of the oldest parts of the city, a bustling market, a 500 year old temple, Gandhi bazaar, Cubbon Park. An excellent way to explore Bangalore if you have limited time

Great guide in Bengalore - Beautiful tour with Sashma, she made me discover a city I didn’t know and without her I would not have felt so happy and welcomed. Fully recommend booking her for your visit

Wonderful, engaging tour to learn about Bangalore and its history - We had such an incredible time on this tour! Sushma is so knowledgeable and passionate about Bangalore and its history. This tour is perfect for anyone who has a few hours to explore although we could have gone all day! Thank you Sushma!

Good introduction to Bangalore - Excellent tour, Sushma was a brilliant guide who give us a brief history of Bangalore whilst taking us to the Bull Temple, the KR market, Cubbon Park before ending the tour at Vidhana Soudha, explaining the sights and answering our questions along the way. Both of us found the KR market the most fascinating part of the tour due to the hustle and bustle of the market traders with their customers, the making of the flower garlands in the flower market where individual petals are stringed by hand into different designs and colour ways. Whilst having to be mindful of motorbikes and the odd holy cow walking past! Sushma also took us for some traditional Indian snacks which was delicious, that we are now keeping an eye out for on menus for the rest of our trip. Would recommend this tour if you have half a day free in Bangalore and wanted to get a taste of the city.

Great experience for a short day - Great Way to see the city in a short time as I was here for a biz trip and only had a few hours. My guide was Jainty - professional, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. We discussed the places I wanted to go and she planned it well. Recommended tour.

See and Learn About the Historic Roots of the Modern City - We booked this tour in order to see some of Bengaluru without figuring out or own transportation. This was an excellent idea as the traffic around the city was definitely a challenge to navigate. Our tour guide and driver arrived right on time and got us started with some history of the city and the places we would see. We stopped at the Bull Temple and were given lots of history and even some context on the temple's importance in Hinduism. We sampled some south Indian snacks and coffee from a restaurant. It was great to go with a knowledgeable person to help us find a clean, safe place to try something delicious. We ventured to the original produce/flower market. The amount of fresh produce and flowers for sale was almost as overwhelming as the crush of people there! We drove over to the Parliament Building and walked a bit in Cubbon Park. The tour hit some great highlights, we learned a lot, got great pictures and enjoyed our air-conditioned ride. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bengaluru!

Great walking tour - We enjoyed the tour a lot, our guide Navitha answered all our questions on Bengaluru and also general questions on life in India. We very much enjoyed that and learned a lot! We also had a very delicious meal! We only had a little problem in the beginning finding the correct meeting point, more precise communication could have been helpful. Furthermore, the market was very crowded that day which made walking around a little bit stressfull, so we would advice to do the tour on a weekday rather than a weekend.
