Flavor of Bangalore - Raghu and his colleague provided exactly what I was looking for while in Bangalore: tours of temples, Tuk Tuk ride and the market all while providing safety, navigation and the rich history of this area. Thanks to you both!!!

Excellent trip experience - I really enjoyed this trip. We managed to see all the city highlights in just half a day and never felt rushed. Mr Vasuki (my guide) was extremely knowledgeable and flexible. The temples were fascinating, the fort was impressive and the colors and smells in the fruit/flower market were divine. I would recommend this trip to anyone looking to get a feel for the city and only have a short timeframe.

A perfect tour in Bangalore! - What a fantastic tour! This was my first time in Bangalore and I felt like I had such an up close and personal experience of this city. My tour guide was wonderful and took me to places that I would have never ventured to on my own. As a solo female traveler, I also felt 100% safe the entire time. Thank you so much for such a great day!

Nice and safe way to get to know the city in few hours. - I had only one day to explore the city and this was very good choice. The tour was super nice. Raghu ( my guide) was very professional and he explained all historical context to me. He was very patient. As a female solo traveler I was a bit afraid to explore the city on my own. So this tour was the solution. We explored the summer palace, the fort, the Jain Temple and the market. I would never have managed to know all this context on my own. He was super friendly and helpful. He also helped me find an Uber after we are done and waited until my Uber came, he even called the Uber driver himself to explain where we are exactly. I really enjoyed the tour with Raghu.

Tour went places I wouldn’t have thought to - Great walking tour through old Bangalore. Fort, palace, and temples were nice to tour, especially the exquisite craftsmanship of the Jain temple. Market tour went through places I really wouldn’t have on my own, and the sights and smells made the tour a big improvement over what I would have done alone.

Experience Bengaluru - This tour is excellently organized and guided by tour guide Vasuki. He knows a lot about the culture and history of India and brings it vividly to the visitor. I now better understand backgrounds and culture, historical sites and customs, as well as everyday life in Bengaluru. Places I wouldn't have found or understood on my own. The typical Indian snack at the end completed the tour perfectly with a culinary experience. Chauffeur Mr. Raghu drove safely and calmly through Bengaluru's streets. Communication with Phaneesh regarding organization was always excellent. 5 stars!

Short but fascinating tour. - It was a great experience. I saw so much in a few hours and Vasuki was a superb guide, with knowledge of historical and religious context. The intricacies of the Hindu temple, the architecture of the Tipu Palace, the history of the fort, the stunning handiwork of the Jain temple and the beautiful chaos of the market -- they are all in this short but fascinating tour.

Bengaluru Cultural Insight - Personal, very informative guide. The KR market and surrounding area were a great insight into the real culture of the city. The Jain temple is a masterpiece, so beautiful and delicate.
