Top guided tour and cultural experience - We had a great time with our guide Shiva. We started at Tippu summer palace. Here we learnt in great detail the history of Mysore and the changes of governance over time. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learnt the connection with western history. The tour took us to Mysore palace and again our guide shared all the history which was very detailed. We visited a temple and had a local lunch which was an awesome experience. The trip ended at the church in Mysore. A truly great experience I would recommend to anyone

Great Day Trip and Cultural Experience. - I had a fantastic tour of MySore, Tippu Summer Palace, and other sites. Our tour guide Shiva was extremely knowledgeable and funny. He shared many details of the sites, and of India's history.
A special surprise was the lunch. Shiva took us to a very authentic restaurant where the food is served on banana leaves, and one eats with their hands. Not only did I get to enjoy the sites, but I got to have an authentic Indian experience that I would never have done on my own.

Top recommendation for first trip to India - The organization was problem-free and what was touted was more than fulfilled. Our very dedicated guide Shvia was very professional and patiently answered all my questions about the country and people. The food at the restaurant popular with locals was extremely tasty and authentic, the premises clean. I recommend this tour and especially Shiva as a guide.
