Overview

We are eager to show you a side of our city that is not often mentioned in the guide book but holds a special place for us locals. The heart of our city Bengaluru lies in its markets, locally called “Pete”. Around this epicentre are a magnificent palace, a beautiful temple and small units of silk weavers, goldsmiths, artisans and some delightful quaint hole in the wall cafe. Our walk through this region will connect the dots between all of the spaces you will visit transporting you seamlessly between the then and now of Bengaluru. This is a guided experience and includes a hearty brunch. Note: Some of the tour attractions cannot be experienced on Sundays as they would be closed. Alternatively, we will replace the visit to the silk weaving and Jewellery unit with a walk about the jewellery market and the fine fabric market.

Immersive Walking Tour Through Bengaluru’s History & Markets

Published on Feb, 2025

This walking tour with Vrinda was an absolute highlight of our time in Bengaluru! Our expert guide brought history to life as we explored Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace, sharing fascinating stories about the ruler, the architecture, and the significance of this historic site. The depth of knowledge and storytelling made the visit truly engaging. From there, we stepped into the vibrant chaos of KR Market—a sensory overload in the best way possible! The colors, the aromas, and the sheer energy of the market were unforgettable. Without a guide, navigating this maze of flowers, spices, and bustling vendors would have been nearly impossible. Having someone to explain the local culture, introduce us to unique finds, and help us truly appreciate the market’s essence made all the difference. This was a fantastic way to experience the heart of Bengaluru up close. If you love history, culture, and authentic local experiences, this tour is a must-do!
