• 5An Incredible Experience – Highly Recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  I had an amazing experience exploring Bengaluru with my tour guide, Divakar! He was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the history, religion, and traditions behind everything we visited. We explored beautiful temples, Bengaluru Palace, and even made a special trip out of our way to see the incredible banyan tree. One of my favorite experiences was meeting local farmers and learning the entire silk-making process, from what silkworms eat to how they create their cocoons. We also met wonderful locals who were so welcoming and even invited us to share tea with them! Divakar seemed to know everyone, which made the experience feel so much more personal and authentic. As a female traveling alone, I never once felt unsafe or uncomfortable, which meant a lot to me. I cannot recommend this tour company and Divakar enough! If you’re visiting Bengaluru, especially as a solo female traveler, this is a fantastic way to experience the culture, history, and people of India. Truly a memorable experience!

  The overall experience was great. Was picked up promptly and taken to all the sites listed and some not. The lunch experience was great and something you wouldn’t find in the tourist sections.

About Bangalore

Bangalore, or Bengaluru, is the garden city of southern India, a technology hub of parks, palaces, pubs and filter coffee on a cool plateau.

Bengaluru, long known in English as Bangalore, is the capital of Karnataka and sits on a plateau about 900 metres up, which gives it a mild climate. The city's nickname, the Garden City, comes from public parks like Cubbon Park and the Lalbagh Botanical Garden, where a glasshouse modelled on London's Crystal Palace holds flower shows. The Vidhana Soudha, the state legislature, is one of its grandest buildings.

Top-ranked sights in Bangalore: Vidhana Soudha, KR Market (Krishnarajendra City Market), Lalbagh Botanical Gardens.
