What an adventure and experience! Highly recommend. Took this tour while my partner had to work in town. My guide was engaging, knowledgeable, entertaining and thoughtful. I adored the market the most, excited in every sense - sight, smell, sounds and taste! Runners up were the Bull Temple and in depth mythology and sharing of stories of the gods and the lunch dining experience where I ate traditionally without a fork or spoon by choice, I think I did ok for my first try! This experience felt curated just for me! You won’t regret booking this tour.

Five stars!

Prashant was a fabulous guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable and we learned so much on our tour through Bengaluru. We saw a palace, a temple and the local market. I would definitely recommend.

Incredible Walking Tour Experience with Prashant

Published on Feb, 2025

Incredible Walking Tour Experience with Prashant! We had the most amazing experience on our walking tour in India with Prashant! From the start, his communication was excellent—he provided clear instructions on where to meet and was punctual and professional. Our group of five coworkers ended up with a private tour, which made the experience even more special. Prashant’s knowledge of the area was outstanding, and what truly set him apart was how he connected historical and cultural insights back to the United States, making everything feel even more relevant and engaging. He even noticed we were from the Chicagoland area and wore a Bulls jersey, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch! Throughout the 3.5-hour tour, Prashant ensured we stayed together, kept us hydrated with bottled water, and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. It was the perfect way to experience the city despite our busy business schedule. If you’re looking for an informative, well-organized, and engaging tour, Prashant is the guide to book. Highly recommended!
