This tour provided a lot... - This tour provided a lot of information historically, culturally and spiritually on the sites we saw. The summer Palace was beautiful and well worth seeing. Our guide Raghu, was very attentive. One of the most fascinating sites we saw was the wholesale flower market in action. It was an absolute buzz to see the range of floral arrangements. Towards the end we were all a bit tired and Raghu treated us to a refreshing cup of tea.

Excellent tour and guide - Great day with a group of 3 on the tour with an excellent guide Vasuki KR. He was professional, knowledgeable, passionate and very friendly. All venues were well worth visiting. Thoroughly recommend this as a way to spend half a day in Bengaluru

Great way to see Bangalore - We had Vasuki as our tour guide and couldn't have asked for a better experience. He offered a great informative tour that allowed us to see key sites and learn great history. Vasuki was very thoughtful and knowledgeable, and always asked how he can go above and beyond, he even helped tell us best places to take pictures! After the tour we all had some delicious coffee and even guided us to a great silk shop per our request to make sure we got good prices on our items. Couldn't recommend this tour enough!

This walk is absolutely recommended! - We enjoyed our walk through Bangalore with our friendly and knowledgeable guide Vijay Kumar. He initiated us into the different religions and customs associated with this. Very interesting.
We visited the Tipu palace and several temples, not to mention the colorful market. For me this was the last day in Bangalore that will stay with me for a long time!

An incredibly exciting visit! - Vijay is a great guide who makes you live every place as if we were there, he knows very well history, Tipu, wars, Hindu religion and its gods. It’s exciting. In addition, Vijay is of rare kindness and courtesy: he offered a delicious coffee at the market and then a lotus flower. We walked through typical alleyways, very crowded, incredible, and Vijay makes sure you're always safe. I recommend this tour to all travelers spending a day or more in Bangalore!

Best way to see the city - A great way to see the city and learn the history! Mr. Govinda was very knowledgeable and showed us many of the beautiful buildings—the temples were truly beautiful and we were able to go inside. We also really liked seeing all the markets. Highly recommend

Wonderful guide! interesting tour - I really enjoyed this tour, mostly because of the Tour Guide, Vasuki. I found him to be entertaining, a great storyteller, interesting and engaging, and just genuinely concerned for the well-being of his tourist guests.
I had gone shopping earlier and had no time to return to my hotel to drop off bags so I had to carry my heavy bags with me. Upon my arrival, he immediately took some of my bags, even though I did not ask him. I was totally prepared to spend the entire time carrying the heavy bags. I thought that it was very thoughtful of him to take on a load that was not his nor was it a planned part of the tour.
For me the best part of the tour was the market and the Jain temple. I’ve been to markets in several cities in India now and they never ceases to amaze me. Vasuki was very good about caring for us to stay together and ensuring we bought safe items for travelers, understood market history and culture and were able to partake to some degree.
I am a solo female traveler. Ladies be sure to bring something to cover your shoulders and legs for the temple (hence my bags, amongst other things haha)
The tour was interesting and Vasuki is a fantastic guide. Plus he has great ideas, is patient about photography and takes great pictures!! At the end of the tour, he even took extra time to take me to a well respected soak market to buy some clothes for my trip to the Taj Mahal the next day. I really appreciate that the people at the business did not pressure me to buy extra when I said no more and the prices were very fair.

A Fascinating Journey Through Bengaluru’s Heritage - I had a fantastic time on the Bengaluru Pété Walk! The itinerary was well-planned, covering historical gems like Tipu Palace, Koté Vishnu, the Fort, KR Market, and the beautiful Jain Temple. The guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the experience even more enjoyable. It was a great mix of history, culture, and local vibes. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to explore the heart of Bengaluru!
