Driver and guide were... - Driver and guide were good, safe, on time. Polite and had good communication with me. They took me to a good breakfast place but I wasn’t happy with lunch. But my son liked the food. Overall good and would recommend. I think it is pricey compared to local transport. if you do not know enough about getting around this is a good option.

Fabulous Tour! Highly recommend it! - Fabulous tour hosted by Prashant! I highly recommend this to visitors to Bengaluru and locals looking to explore Mysuru with a knowledgeable host. To enhance our learning, Prashant also had expert guides join at key locations to deepen our understanding of the culture and rich history of select sites. Prem ensured we traveled comfortably and safely in our drive to and from Mysuru, as well, and Prashant made the experience enjoyable for all with delightful conversation and fun facts along the way. This is definitely a must-do day trip!

Great Experience to Mysore - I thoroughly enjoyed the day tour to Mysore. The tour commenced with a pickup from my hotel in Whitefield, Bangalore. My guide, Shiva, was exceptional and ensured that I had a memorable day. At each site, I gained a profound understanding of the area's history. Additionally, Shiva shared numerous intriguing facts about India, which made the long car ride informative and engaging. A highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the South Indian meal we had at an exceptional lunch venue, which was the best food I have experienced in India thus far. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Shiva as a guide. Thank you.

Great trip to Mysore! - Booked the one day trip to Mysore and had a wonderful time. The driver was very friendly and provided a comfortable ride. The guides were very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions or even take pictures if requested. Prashant was the host and it was great to have a very accommodating and friendly host along for the trip. The palace was extravagant, and I also enjoyed seeing the local markets. Having Prashant to take me around the street market and show me the areas I wanted to see was awesome, and made the experience much more enjoyable than if I was trying to do it by myself. He even purchased me some different fruits I had never tried before to sample as we walked. I have been on other tours in the past (with different company) where it seemed like the guide takes you to a specific shop where you get pressured to buy something, but that was not the case at all. The tour was tailored to what I was interested in seeing. Thanks!!!

A great day out- A highlight of our trip to Bengaluru - We had a very enjoyable day visiting palaces and temples. Our driver and guide were hospitable and could not do enough to make our day very memorable. the driver arrived promptly at our hotel, sending messages to say they were on their way. They also bought us snacks and drinks for the journey, and pointed out sights along the way. The highlights for me were the visit to the Ranganathaswamy temple and the fruit and vegetable market at Mysuru. One small warning, we also went to buy silk and souvenirs at a Cauvery Factory outlet, and paid for a number of items, which we subsequently discovered were missing from the bag when we got back to our hotel. We should have checked before leaving the store ! Fortunately this did not dampen our enthusiasm for the organised tour

Excellence in Every Aspect of Our Experience - Prashant and his team ensured that every part of our experience was seamless and enjoyable. Long before the trip he was in contact with us to arrange travel and help with flight transfers. Prashant's responses were always very prompt and honest and we felt he was looking out for us as we planned our activities. On the day of the trip he ensured that every stop was curated to our interests and energy level and that we didn't have to wait for guides / tables at any point. He also added in very helpful commentary on top of the guides that brought together all the sites. Prashant also went out of his way to help us arrange travel after the tour to our next destination, which we would not have made it to without his help. We would definitely recommend doing a tour with Prashant and his team!

The best day trip to Mysore - This day trip to Mysore was just fantastic. Booking it from London was seamless and when I arrived in Bangaluru Prashant contacted me again with the name of the driver - Yogesh - and gave me his contact details, car registration and phone number. I managed to pack in so much and the guides in Mysore spoke excellent English and were incredible. I took loads of photos and Yogesh took it all in his stride. He also took me to a local restaurant for lunch which was fantastic. On the way back to Bangaluru Yogesh asked me if I wanted to stop at a coconut plant. Of course I said yes and it was yet another feast for the eyes. This was not part of the itinerary but showed the thoughtfulness of Yogesh and also Prashant who called a couple of times during the day to make sure everything was OK. Apart from their reliability this is another reason to use this company if you have limited time and want to see as much as possible. So a big thank you to Prashant and Yogesh for making my short stay in Bangaluru so memorable.

Royal rip off - This was organized rip off. Several tourist traps set one after another with the driver kind enough to get us to all of them. Not worth it
