Highly recommended for a comfortable yet thorough visit of Bengalore - Top notch experience. Prashant replied late into the night to my questions, and adapted the day to our abilities as requested. We started very punctually, Our guide Deepak was very knowledgeable and explained everything from history to culture to religion, and didn’t tire of my endless questions on all the deities and symbols and points of history. Driver Pradeep was prompt to pick us up after every stop. The vehicle was very clean, roomy and comfortable and we greatly appreciated the drinks and nibbles provided. All in all, the perfect way to get to enjoy Bangalore when there’s little time.

Private tour for a solo female traveler - This tour was amazing! I learned and experienced so much. Prashant contacted me on what’s app two days before the tour to confirm time of pickup and itinerary. On the day of, Yogesh, our driver and Deepak, the guide, promptly picked me up at my hotel lobby. Deepak knew so much history! And, since I was by myself, he took so many photos of me. He purchased fresh coconut water from coconuts, a jasmine garland and they both even stopped so I could try ice apples, a fruit only found during this time of the year. We saw so many temples and had an authentic lunch. I loved the tour and they both made my first trip to India one to remember!

Great tour! - This was a great tour. The guide was kind and informative. Most of all, as a woman doing this tour solo, I felt safe and more than comfortable. I really enjoyed the day.

My husband booked this... - My husband booked this tour for me late, the night before tour and the operator was very accommodating & flexible. The driver, Yogesh, was super communicative, friendly and even explained sites we passed on the way to meet the tour guide. I wasn't feeling well so he bought me a fresh coconut to drink to settle my stomach and was kindly concerned about my well-being the entire time. I especially enjoyed the lunch he, the tour-guide and I had together, eating off a banana leaf for my first time.
The tour guide (I think his name was Govinda) spoke excellent English and made the tour very interesting. He took me to a silk store, instead of the Iskcon Temple, even though I told him I did not like to shop so if you are not interested in purchasing silk items, I would stress this point to him prior to a visit. I chose not to visit the Vidhan Soudha at the end of the tour but very much enjoyed the other sites. Excellent tour that I recommend.

What an adventure and experience! Highly recommend. My guide was engaging, knowledgeable, entertaining and thoughtful. I - What an adventure and experience! Highly recommend. Took this tour while my partner had to work in town. My guide was engaging, knowledgeable, entertaining and thoughtful. I adored the market the most, excited in every sense - sight, smell, sounds and taste! Runners up were the Bull Temple and in depth mythology and sharing of stories of the gods and the lunch dining experience where I ate traditionally without a fork or spoon by choice, I think I did ok for my first try! This experience felt curated just for me! You won’t regret booking this tour.

Incredible Walking Tour Experience with Prashant - Incredible Walking Tour Experience with Prashant!
We had the most amazing experience on our walking tour in India with Prashant! From the start, his communication was excellent—he provided clear instructions on where to meet and was punctual and professional. Our group of five coworkers ended up with a private tour, which made the experience even more special.
Prashant’s knowledge of the area was outstanding, and what truly set him apart was how he connected historical and cultural insights back to the United States, making everything feel even more relevant and engaging. He even noticed we were from the Chicagoland area and wore a Bulls jersey, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch!
Throughout the 3.5-hour tour, Prashant ensured we stayed together, kept us hydrated with bottled water, and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. It was the perfect way to experience the city despite our busy business schedule. If you’re looking for an informative, well-organized, and engaging tour, Prashant is the guide to book. Highly recommended!
