The whole experience was good .Guide and driver were very good at their jobs . However with so much driving involved and traffic being what it is in India ,I would cut out the art gallery and market sections of the itinerary, at the end of the day .Start journey back to Bengaluru earlier .

Great itinerary with excellent guide though somewhat overpriced for India. It is a 2 n half to 3 hour drive from Bangaluru. RAGHU the guide was full of information which he shared very well. Great to be with.

I booked this trip with my fiancée whilst on a brief trip to Bangalore for a friend's wedding (we are British). If you are Bangalore based then a lot of the day will be spent travelling by private transfer but definitely worth it and the transfer car is comfortable and well air conditioned. Once we got to Mysore there was excellent variety in the tour (palaces, temples, food, art galleries, markets, incense factory) all very interesting and superbly guided by Thomas (our tour guide). Would definitely recommend.

Oh my, Mysore! What an experience! The tour was fantastic, and my guide Raghu was just outstanding! Not only was he a wealth of knowledge, I think he also has a future as a stand-up comedian! He made the whole day so much fun - anyone who gets him as their guide is in for a treat. 😊

I booked this tour as a single female traveler from Bangaluru to Mysuru. My driver Mr. Sajeevan was great. I felt safe through the tour. The morning drive was easy as there was little traffic early on a Saturday morning. The return trip; however, took 3 hours and 40 minutes due to traffic and there was no restroom break. It was okay for me, but I think people may need to know that ahead of time. Highlights - Mysuru/Mysore Palace is amazing and I was able to get some great photos of the palace. I also enjoyed the Devaraja Market and seeing all of the flower, fruit and vegetable vendors. The Sri Chamundeshwari Temple was nice to see from the exterior but we did not go in because there was a 2-3 hour wait to get in according to the guide. The lunch was a typical Indian buffet. Personally, I could have done without the stop at Jaganmohan Palace Art Gallery and Auditorium, but others may enjoy it. Note: Photography is not allowed. The Guide also took me to a store right near the lunch stop (Cauvery - a government owned store) that sells silks and other souvenirs. It felt like a pressured sales pitch to me. He was also going to take me to an essential oils store but I declined. Again, others may appreciate these stops but they were not on the itinerary and were not something I was interested in doing. Overall, I am glad I went. Seeing the palace was worth the long drive.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your valuable feedback. We’re delighted to know that you enjoyed the scenic early morning drive, felt safe and comfortable throughout the tour, and had a wonderful time exploring Mysuru, especially the Palace and Devaraja Market. We truly appreciate your note about the return journey. The expressway route is usually a direct drive, though our drivers are always happy to stop for a quick break if requested. It’s wonderful to know that Mysuru left you with memorable moments, and we sincerely hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again on another trip.
What a special and memorable experience! Ragu was our wonderful tour guide who was a dynamic storyteller and kept us engaged throughout! His jokes were funny and his perspective insightful. All of the sights were so interesting. Our favorite tour of our trip!!
