Great tour guide! - This tour and tour guide / driver combo was amazing. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job on walking us through the day in the most effective way (long walks in the morning when it is cooler and inside shorter walks in the heat) but also providing a full cultural experience nature, temples, food, markets. The driver knew where we were going, dropped off and picked up so efficiently. It was a wonderful experience

Deepak is perfect! - Our tour through Bangalore truly left us feeling like locals. Our amazing guide, Deepak, knew so much about everything and kept my group captivated the entire time. The markets were exceptional as we got to try local fruits, smell beautiful jasmine flowers, and look through hundreds of bangles. Deepak did a wonderful job of guiding us and explaining the history and symbolism behind all of the places we visited. I would recommend the full day tour as it was truly the perfect bit to see all of Bangalore.

Jam packed excellent tour of local sights - Having booked the tour with Prashanth last minute (I am talking booking 02.30am for a pick up at 06.30) I appreciated the timely and plentiful communication and flexibility in arrangements. We visited five different places based on my choice and time spent with Prashanth went fast will all the engaging stories covering history, mythology and snippets of everyday life. A truly wonderful six hours exploring Bangalore on this private tour. I highly recommend you book with Prashanth and experience it for yourself!

Wonderful Bangalore tour, learnt so much 🤩 - Wonderful tour of Bangalore and I learnt so much. Prashant is so knowledgeable and brings the stories of the past to life and I felt really immersed in my surroundings throughout the day. And as a solo female traveller I felt completely safe the whole tour, from hotel pick up to drop off. The markets were incredible with so many sights, colours and sounds. I felt so safe with Prashant as we navigated the markets and tried local fruits and learnt about all the flower garlands and meanings behind them. I know I wouldn’t have visited the markets on my own so it was really special to be able to experience them. The tour was on my last day before flying out and I needed a small suitcase and Prashant negotiated a great price for me but then went above and beyond carrying my case around the markets for me 🙌🏼 I’m also gluten-free and dairy-free and again Prashant went above and beyond in finding me some great dishes to try for lunch. I had such a wonderful experience on this tour and I’m so incredibly grateful to Prashant for his kindness and generosity. Prashant’s love for his city really shows and makes this tour extra special. Thank you so much Prashant 🙏🏼

Prashant is an incredibly... - Prashant is an incredibly knowledgeable and kind tour guide and Kumar a sweet and trustworthy driver. I learned so much about the history of Bangalaru and local mythology. The tour was perfectly planned, efficient, and the food we ate was delicious. As a solo female traveler I felt safe and relaxed the whole time. They also let me customize the stops on the tour to my preferences.

Supremely enjoyable afternoon - If you have a chance - book this tour. This was an excellent afternoon and would heavily recommend to any and all. I’m a solo traveller and signed up for a group tour, but ended up being the only one - Prashant was a consummate host and was very thoughtful throughout the entire afternoon. Highly educational - he has a great storytelling ability, and was very generous in touring the market as well as ensuring I was safely on my way home. We covered myths, botanicals, food, history, you name it. 10/10 - do yourself a favor and book this experience!
