Tipu Sultan tour - Our guide Satish took us on a phenomenal tour of Tipu Sultan and his legacy in Bangalore. We saw a magnificent fort and the summer palace of Tipu. Satish made the tour memorable by not only showing us grand monuments but also talking about Tipus economic and military reforms. We could visualize the impact he had in this part of the world. The arrangements were impeccable. The pick up was on time and driver was safe. Satish had arranged the local coffee for us and it was a awesome.
