A great way to see Bangalore in an afternoon! - Ramesh was an excellent guide - would highly reccomend this tour to really get a feel for Bangalore and explore parts of the city you wouldn't perhaps go alone as a tourist. Ramesh made us feel safe and was very knowledgeable about all the different sites and temples. A highlight was the flower market and Jain temple. Thanks for a great experience!!

Awesome Tour - I recently took a guided tour through Bangalore with Vasuki. He is highly educated and speaks excellent English. Vasuki is very friendly and accommodating, with an immense knowledge of Indian religion and history.
Our three-hour tour was exceptional. Vasuki adapted to our pace, answered all our questions thoroughly, and was very considerate. He knew exactly where to take photos and kindly assisted us.
At the end of the tour, Vasuki took us to a local Indian restaurant that was hygienic, delicious, and reasonably priced. He continued to provide tips and accompanied us for a short while after the tour.
Highly recommend Vasuki for exploring Bangalore!

Tour with Raghu - I had an amazing tour with Raghu. He shows places you’d hardly visit as a tourist and brings life to the monuments and places you visit.
Highly recommended!

Great tour to main sights - Very interesting and enjoyable tour. Raghu was a great guide, provided very interesting information and made sure that I have securely reached back the hotel. The market and the Jain temple were very impressive. The crazy traffic of Bangalore added up to the many impressions gained during this tour.

Informative and Enjoyable Old City Tour - Excellent tour around the old city explaining the origins of the city, its growth and seeing the everyday life of its residents. The flower market and Jain Temple were highlights of the tour. Our guide Phaneesh was very knowledgeable and tailored the tour to ensure the participants requirements were met. He led us through the busy streets to areas I would not have visited independently. I finished the tour understanding more of life in Bangalore.

Best experience visit tour in Bangalore - K.R. Phaneesh is an incredible guide who hase taking care of me the all walking visit. He has boundless knowledge in history, art and culture and he take times to explain and answer every questions. The place choices give a very wide panel of differents Indian experiences from the very famous busy flower market to magnificent silent Jain temple. I even be able to experience chai tea and taking the modern metro as a local Indian person. He is also really fluent in French and so helping, taking picture of me and helping for souvenir gift price negotiation.
It was a really enjoying time that I will keep forever in my heart with him, his niece and Mr Vijay.
Mr Vijay droped me to my hotel to the visit starting point while explaining me the history all the differents places we have pass by, like an exclusive visite tour in the walking city tour, and drove me be back safely to my hotel.
Believe me, you definitely have to book this city walk for the best visit tour of Bangalor!

Great way to see the sights if short on time - Ramakrishna Aithal was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. He was able to answer my many supplementary questions, showing his passion and interest in the cultural history of Bangalore. We covered a lot of ground, but didn’t feel rushed. A great way to fit some of the main highlights of the city into a day. Highly recommend the chauffeur add on, I was able to do some additional shopping at the end of the tour and not have to worry about getting to/from my hotel.
