This is a great tour if you are interested in wandering off the beaten track, and Anand is the ideal tour guide.
This walk takes you from the origins of the very popular street in Bengaluru, with stories about the first mall in town, the shops that existed before the big brands took over, around the corner to a bookshop that's is over a hundred years old, a tailor who started back in the 1920s, and a ride on the Metro, cutting out the awful traffic jams totally, to the old Bengaluru wholesale market, to begin with.
All very interesting if you like local color, dont want the standard touristy stuff, and like walking with a guy who knows his way around.
The tour guide is very pleasant and well spoken, has done his homework and clearly knows the city, and enjoys taking people around.
All of which add up to a really interesting walk, and getting to know the more interesting side of Bengaluru that even locals might not know.
