An absolute must - don’t hesitate, just book! - This was undoubtedly one of the best tours I have ever experienced. Our guide was exceptional, picking us up from our hotel in Bangalore and spending about 12 hours with us. His vast knowledge of the places we visited, as well as Bangalore and India from a lifetime of living here, and his engaging personality made the tour incredibly enjoyable. Thanks to him, we explored many areas we would have missed on our own. The day was well planned and everything was perfectly organized, from skipping the queues at Mysore Palace to enjoying traditional breakfast and lunch, and visiting the Kesheva Temple in Somnathpur and Srirangapatna. I cannot emphasize enough how outstanding this tour was and how fantastic our guide was. I highly recommend setting aside a day for this tour!

Fantastic experience - The tour was wonderful. Our guide Pradeep was attentive, friendly and very punctual. He explained everything to us in great detail and with passion. He also took us to restaurants that had a special charm, the food was delicious, especially the breakfast. Despite the crazy traffic in Bangalore, we felt very safe with our driver. Many thanks to both of them for an unforgettable day.

One of the best guided Tours I did so far! - My colleagues and I booked this tour for our layover in Bengaluru and it was worth every penny. We saw beautiful sights and the car rides were just as wonderful as the sights themselves. We ate amazing authentic food (authentic Indian dishes, Fruit from the market and sweets). Praveen, our guide, was super nice and fun to be with and made the tour so much fun and we got a lot of wonderful pictures of our Trip. For me, it was my first time in India ever and this Trip made me fall in love with southern India and made me interested to explore the other regions of this diverse and beautiful country. Thank you very mich for this awesome experience 🙏🏻

Best of Mysore/Mysuru, Somnathpur & more - Highly recommend this tour if you want see not just the famous sites, but also the hidden gems along the way. Praveen is passionate about what he does and enthusiastic about sharing the best of India with you. He is extremely knowledgeable - you will learn so much about the places you visit. It’s not a typical tour that might take you shopping or to a tourist trap. I got to see some of the greatest hits and was safely dropped off at my hotel.

A 1 day trip from Bangalore to Mysore - I was super enjoyed the trip. Pradeep is such an amazing tour guide. It was well organized, funny and kept me with “more of those” appetite . Thank you Praveen and Pradeep for this wonderful experience!

A history lesson disguised as fun at some beautiful sites. - Praveen was the perfect host for a beautiful, if sometimes packed with people, Mysore. The sightseeing was really great and Praveen added a ton to the experience. He knows how to navigate these sites extremely well and is an absolute font of knowledge on the sites and regional history. He really added context that makes for a great experience. Nice sites, great people, and some good food to top it off. Highly recommend.

Great tour, great guides - Pradeep and Sanjana were our guides for the Mysore tour. They had a great deal of knowledge about both the history and current culture of India and were able to convey that knowledge with kindness and humor. There are many tour companies that can take you to see the sights of India. The difference is that I felt that this company really cared that I had a great experience. We had a large group split into two vehicles. One thing that I liked is that when we stopped the guides, would switch between cars so that when driving you had the opportunity to hear two different viewpoints. The only misstep is that we were running late and the group decided to skip going to the Devaraja market. If you want to spend a day learning the history of India, experiencing the culture of the country and enjoying delicious traditional food with caring tour guides, then book with Hidden Gems.

Excellent one day tour! - Praveen and our driver were so kind and helpful. Praveen’s knowledge of history, geography and culture is so impressive and his ability to navigate the different sites made the tour so enjoyable. I learnt a lot and had a lot of fun!

Amazing Mysore Trip! - We just returned from my first trip to India and I can’t stop thinking about my one-day trip to Mysore while my husband was working. Sanjina and our driver picked me up early from our hotel on the outskirts of Bangalore. From the outset, Sanjina was warm and friendly and so easy to talk to. We picked up two other women and began our journey. One of our first stops was the silkworm auction house, which was fabulous! Sanjina explained everything about this fascinating process. Afterwards, we made our way to the Somnathpur Temple where we met our second guide, Fez. He shared his wealth of knowledge about this jaw-dropping site as well as at our other stops, including Mysore Palace, the Devaraja Market, (Including the incredible flower market,) and Tepu’s Summer Palace. We also had stops for a traditional Indian breakfast, a lovely stop for lunch and other treats as well. Fez, like Sanjina, was also an engaging guide, and I came away from the day learning so much. They both shared their personal experiences about life in India, and it was as if we were spending the day with friends. I felt safe and protected by this company so much so that we contacted Praveen to see if he or Sanjina were available to show us Bangalore on another day. Highly recommend! Thanks, Sanjina and Fez!
