• 5Mysore Tour

  Everything was truly seamless from start to finish. We had an on time pickup from our hotel in Bangalore, followed by excellent assistance throughout the journey to Mysore. We reached Mysore in under 2.5 hours, and the drive was safe and comfortable. Our guide, Prashant, was extremely knowledgeable and made the experience even more enjoyable. He showed us the highlights of Mysore, including the magnificent Mysore Palace, St. Philomena’s Church, and Tipu Sultan’s Fort. Our favorite was the beautiful palace and the peaceful temple visit. We also really appreciated being able to skip the long lines at the attractions, which made the day much more relaxed. Lunch and traditional snacks were included and gave us a wonderful taste of authentic local cuisine. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, very well organized, comfortable, informative, and truly memorable. I would recommend this tour to friends and family!

• 5Great Tour

  Prashant was the perfect host and made my day exploring Mysore Palace and the surrounding attractions truly unforgettable. His knowledge, passion, and friendly nature brought every place to life, making the experience feel personal rather than just another guided tour. I rarely book organized tours, and I almost never write reviews, but I'm genuinely glad I chose this one. From start to finish, everything was seamless, well-planned, and exceeded my expectations. It felt less like being on a tour and more like exploring Mysore with a knowledgeable local friend. If you're considering a Mysore tour, I can't recommend Prashant and his team highly enough. This was easily one of the highlights of my trip to India.

• 4Must visit Trip Mysuru - India

  Prashant was an outstanding guide on the first day of our two-day tour. He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely attentive throughout the day. Beyond the tour itself, he also shared excellent recommendations for places to visit and things to do during the rest of our stay in Bengaluru, which we really appreciated. The itinerary was well planned and covered all the major highlights of the first day within a 12-hour schedule. Lunch was delicious, the traditional filter coffee experience was a wonderful addition, and visiting the magnificent Mysore Palace was a memorable experience—pleasantly uncrowded, despite the hot weather. As the itinerary is quite comprehensive, the day moves at a good pace to make the most of the time, including navigating Bengaluru traffic and spending enough time at each attraction. Even so, we never felt like we missed the important sights. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore the cultural and historical highlights of the region.

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.
