Dont hesitate - book now! - This was a really exceptional tour that was the perfect mix of food, history and culture. Prashant was really generous, flexible and we felt really safe at all times. He had so much interested insight and answered our many many questions perfectly. He really went out of his way to tailor the experience to us and our particular interests which he figured out really quickly. If you want an easy care free way to see the city with a true insider look no further!

Amazing day in Bangalore - I booked the tour on the weekend of a business trip, and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Throughout the day Prashant the guide weaved mythology, history, and culture of Bangalore through the various sites we visited. Prashant also went out of his way to let me try the local snacks and fruits, and took amazing photos and videos of the locations we are in for an unforgettable day.

A great day that was enjoyable and went like clock work. Fantastic!! - A great day and so pleased to spend the time with our guide (Deepak).
Our guide was so passionate about showing us around Bangalore and making sure we had a true taste of the city. Deepak took care of everything including stops for local drinks and a fantastic lunch out. He really took away any stress that visiting such a busy city could bring with it.
The driver was great and the day went like clockwork.
Thank you.

Superb private city tour of Bengaluru - We had a spare day on our business trip to Bengaluru. We decided to take a city tour to understand the place and the culture better.
The tour delivered in every way. We were picked up at our hotel at 8 am by Deepak in an air-conditioned car And spent the rest of the day touring the big sites of Bengaluru in the car and on foot.
Chatting with Deepak was invaluable in itself in the way it helped us understand modern Bangalore and modern India. We saw the main sites of the city as were detailed in the itinerary and returned back to the hotel at about three after an exhausting day.
Included with a stop for lunch at a very nice restaurant where we’re served southern Indian food on banana leaves. We had no concerns about the quality of the food or hygiene.
Deepak was excellent as a host and his English seemed native.
If I could offer one piece of advice, it would be to take insect repellent. There are lots of bugs and mosquitoes about and I have a fair few bites, mostly from Lalbagh park.

Wonderful introduction to Bengalaru - Govinda, our guide, and Kumar, our driver looked after us so well. We customised our visit to include:
•Lalbagh (Botenical Garden)
•Tipu Sultan Palace & Fort
•Kote Venkataramana Temple
•KR Market (Biggest Flower market)
•Bull Temple (Oldest temple)
•Commercial street
Govinda's knowledge gave us great insights into Bengaluru's history, flora, architecture and it's people. Kumar navigated the city's fluid roads safely for us all. We highly recommend this personalised tour.

Bangalore Tour - Great Bangalore tour with Prashant! It was very thorough, informative, and truly entertaining. We learned a lot about the history of the city which left us very appreciative of the experience. Our hotel was further away from central Bangalore so we paid an extra $15 for the pick up - which was super helpful and went seamlessly! Would highly recommend this experience for your time in Bangalore!

Very accommodating, cool sights, not great tour guide - The trip organizer and driver were very accommodating to my needs. I was dropped off at my hotel even though it was not on the list of hotels to get dropped off at. Also, I wanted a driver the next day to get to a remote location and the organizer and driver made that easy. On the tour itself, I went to many really cool places, and learned a lot about the city, but my tour guide was not great. His English was very bad. I needed to repeat almost every question I had, and often times he would answer a completely different question than what I asked. He never once said that he did not know an answer, but I realized later a lot of historic stuff he told me was wrong.
