Solo female travelers, if you are hesitant about venturing out on your own, please do not hesitate to book this tour! Praveen was a wonderful host and tour guide. I felt safe and secure the entire time. This tour will not only give you the history of Bangalore but you will genuinely get a chance to experience the graciousness of the people. Don’t stay in your hotel room, get out and explore!

A wonderful experience!
This day-long tour was absolutely a highlight of my time in Bangalore! Praveen is a most excellent tour guide and the tour exceeded expectations.
From even before pick up everything was well organized and efficient. We were picked up by a driver at our hotel and taken to meet Praveen to start the tour. The driver stayed with us, dropping us off at the different locations.
Praveen is friendly, respectful, very well informed of the history of Bangalore and just a lot of fun to spend time with! You can tell he loves sharing Bangalore with visitors and really wants everyone to have a great experience. It was just 3 of us and when I asked for the addition of a Kali temple to the itinerary, he found a great temple nearby for us to visit.
By the end of the tour we knew a lot about the history of Bangalore, had spent time around the city, eaten at a well known eatery, shopped at the market, and seen sights we wouldn’t have known to explore.
I highly recommend this tour!

A Fantastic Bangalore Experience with an Exceptional Guide
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Hidden Gems Tours in Bangalore. I had booked the city tour for my business guests visiting from Europe, and it turned out to be a fantastic way to introduce them to the city, its history, culture and character.
A special mention has to go to our guide, Mr. Pradeep. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, engaging and passionate about Bangalore. What really stood out was his ability to bring the history and stories of the city to life rather than simply taking us from one attraction to another. His explanations were insightful, easy to follow and full of interesting details, and he kept everyone engaged throughout the tour.
My guests thoroughly enjoyed the experience and came away with a much deeper appreciation of Bangalore and its heritage. The tour was well planned, comfortable and professionally managed from start to finish.
I would highly recommend Hidden Gems Tours, particularly for anyone hosting international visitors and looking to give them an authentic and memorable introduction to Bangalore. And if you have Mr. Pradeep as your guide, you are in excellent hands!
Thank you to the entire team for making it such a memorable experience for us and our guests.

What an amazing day, great highlights of Bengaluru! Never would have found these wonderful spots or had such a rich experience. History and current culture woven into an unscripted and conversationally excellent guide Praveen was the best part!

Bangalore Tour
I don’t usually write reviews, but this tour deserved one. I was hoping for an engaging experience that would give me a deeper understanding of Bangalore’s history, and Praveen delivered more than I expected. His energy is infectious, and his passion for the city’s story shines through in every stop. He connects what you’re seeing with the people, places, and events that shaped Bangalore—from its origins as a walled city to the tech hub it is today.
The lunch at a 100‑year‑old restaurant, a landmark of classic Bangalore cuisine, was incredible and an unexpected highlight. Overall, this tour was thoughtful, immersive, and genuinely memorable.

Great tour. Highly recommend spending the day with Praveen!
We had a great day exploring Bangalore with Praveen, who has an impressive knowledge of both Indian and world history. He connected local and global history throughout the tour, giving us a clear understanding of the city's culture, architecture and historical background. Praveen explained how ancient heritage, modern developments and past leaders all contributed to building the city Bengaluru is today. Lunch at MTR was also excellent. Time passed quickly on this well-paced tour. We would certainly recommend booking a tour with Praveen if you want a detailed and informative look at the city.

Unforgettable Journey Through Bangalore with Praveen
We had a wonderful day exploring the iconic sites of Bangalore with Praveen, whose depth of knowledge completely blew us away. He possesses an extraordinary grasp of both Indian and world history, weaving the two together seamlessly throughout the day. His insights gave us a rich appreciation of the city's distinct culture, architecture, and historical evolution.
Praveen brilliantly explained how ancient history, modern developments, and the vision of various influential leaders have intersected to create the exciting, successful metropolis that Bengaluru is today. Lunch at MTR was fantastic as well, offering a delicious taste of the local culinary heritage. Time simply flew by as Praveen brought each landmark to life with compelling context and storytelling.
If you want a truly engaging, comprehensive, and enlightening tour of the city, we cannot recommend Praveen highly enough!

Private car and guide - best way to see the best bits of Bengaluru!
Bangaluru is not the greatest for sight-seeing but this tour is perfect for seeing the best bits - the botanical gardens are magnificent and have local macaque monkeys! The flower market is also a sight to behold. We were lucky to have Pradeep as our guide - extremely knowledgeable, friendly and a great sense of humour. The vada and dhosa lunch was very tasty.
