Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Ontmoet onze reisleider in het Hard Rock Café, gelegen in het stadscentrum
Stap binnen in het elegante Indo-Islamitische zomerpaleis, waar een van India's felste heersers de strijd tegen de koloniale overheersing leidde
Ontdek de hindoeïstische manier van leven in deze 15e-eeuwse tempel, versierd met ingewikkeld houtsnijwerk in Vijayanagara-stijl
Wandel langs de historische muren van het fort terwijl je gids verhalen vertelt over zijn rol in de koloniale geschiedenis van India
Verlies jezelf in de levendige chaos van de grootste markt van Bangalore, beroemd om zijn bloemen-, kruiden- en zijdehandel
Geniet van een heerlijk Zuid-Indisch ontbijt/brunch in een van de iconische restaurants in het marktgebied, bekend om hun knapperige dosas en pittige chutney’s. Een culinaire ervaring hier neemt je mee terug naar de tijd waar handelaren uit de hele wereld een exclusieve tussenstop maakten in dit restaurant om hun honger en Zuid-Indiase dosa-honger te stillen.
Bezoek traditionele zijdeweverijen en werkplaatsen voor het maken van sieraden, essentieel voor het rijke culturele erfgoed van Bangalore
Maak een ontspannen wandeling door Cubbon Park dat de stad verdeelt tussen de markten en de Contonment, een goed onderhouden 300 hectare tuin waar de inwoners van Bengaluru samenkomen om een moment te stelen voor leuke runs, concerten en zelfs yoga. Het park is een prachtig inzicht in het samengaan van Bangaloreanen uit alle lagen van het leven. Je bezoekt ook de Europese stijlbibliotheek op het terrein.
Luister naar verhalen over de vrijheidsbeweging van India en de rol van Bengaluru bij het maken van een onafhankelijk India. Identificeer de Neo-Dravidische stijl van architectuur van de kolossale wetgevende kamers van de deelstaatregering.
Kijk naar de prachtige gotische architectuur van de enige Schotse kerk in Bengaluru. Gebouwd in het midden van de 19e eeuw, is de kerk ook bekend om zijn 150 jaar oude pijporgel en prachtige glazen schilderijen.
Bezoek aan een Kali tempel die een zeldzame spirituele ervaring biedt waar leven en dood samenkomen. Opgedragen aan Godin Kali in haar felle krijgersvorm, trekt deze tempel toegewijden aan die bescherming, genezing en bevrijding zoeken van negatieve energieën. Bezoekers worden aangetrokken door de unieke rituelen – zoals het binden van talismannen of het deelnemen aan reinigingsceremonies – te midden van de plechtige achtergrond van een functionerende begraafplaats.

Was very easy and convenient to book. Reliable and punctual pickup at the hotel (if within 5km range of starting point). Our tour guide Lohit was super nice and spoke very well English. Would definitely book again.

Lohit was a great guide and spoke excellent English. He took us on a tuk-tuk and walking tour of the real Bangalore. Definitely went to places we would never dare to venture without a guide. The food stop at LNR was also interesting. A good tour; quite expensive but felt secure

Sandra was absolutely brilliant; full of knowledge and so passionate. The tour was the perfect balance of intimate and informing, she took the time to get to know us but also ensured that we saw the highlights of the city. Western travellers, make sure that you know how hectic the Indian cities are and what to expect: it was an onslaught on all senses but we totally loved it!

A great day out with two really informative and fun guides. Learned so much about Bengaluru and life in India in general. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is limited on time and wants to see the sights/find out a bit more about life here. Highlights were definitely the palace, the lunch and travelling in the tuk tuk 😊

Had an amazing Tuk Tuk tour in Bangalore with Punnet! Loved exploring the colorful flower market watching silk-dyeing, and visiting beautiful temples. Such a fun and authentic way to see the city!
Hi Catherine, Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed exploring Bengaluru on the Tuk Tuk tour with Puneet — the flower market, silk-dyeing, and temple visits truly make it special. We hope to see you again on another Unventured experience soon!
I was lucky to be in the company of Ajith, who turned out to be a real pleasure to explore the more local and authentic Bangalore with. He was great at communicating and answering any follow-up questions I had. He made sure to include me in his historical presentations, which contributed to a good and pleasant atmosphere during our hours together. I wanted to experience the local Bangalore and this tour contributes to that through its stops where the time inbetween is spent in rickshaws, which is a must try when visiting this country 🇮🇳
I had my French family visiting, along with a friend travelling from the US, and we decided to experience Bangalore with Unventured – what an unforgettable choice! 🌟 We are absolutely overjoyed with the Tuk Tuk tour. Our guide, Midhu, was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. She went above and beyond right from the start, even helping us secure cabs when it felt almost impossible. With two children under 10 in tow, we felt so well cared for the entire day. The tour itself was a wonderful mix of history, culture, and local life. We explored the remnants of Tipu Sultan’s palace, stepped into a 15th century temple to learn about the Hindu way of life, and wandered through the most fragrant flower market imaginable. Midhu’s storytelling brought each stop alive as she shared history through engaging stories, which kept both the adults and children captivated. We then wound our way through lively bazaars filled with spices, textiles, and treasures, before stepping into a Scottish Presbyterian Kirk, home to a 150 year old pipe organ. An unexpected highlight was visiting a Kali temple, where dogs, goats, and ravens stood watch over the graves. a A hauntingly atmospheric stop we will never forget. The day also included snacks of exotic fruit along the way and a delicious, hearty South Indian brunch at a hidden old Bangalore eatery that we’d never have found on our own. The tuk tuk rides were a delight in themselves, the children absolutely loved them, and for us adults they were the perfect way to soak in the city’s vibrancy. There were so many incredible moments that I can’t possibly cover them all in one review, but what I can say is this; if you are going to do just one tour in Bangalore, make it this one. We truly couldn’t have experienced the city this way without Unventured’s help, and we are so grateful to Midhu for making the day so memorable. Highly recommended for families, friends, and solo travellers who want to discover the real heart of Bangalore.
I travelled solo today with Midhu. We had the best time together visiting the sights. She is incredibly sweet and has vast knowledge of the city. She was incredibly gracious answering all my questions. Our driver was amazing at negotiating the traffic with skill and safety. Thank you so much Midhu for a wonderful day spent creating many happy memories during my time in Bangalore.
Hi, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re so glad to hear that your day in Bangalore was filled with memorable moments and that both Midhu’s warmth and knowledge made the journey special. It’s wonderful that you felt well taken care of, with everything from the guiding to the drive handled smoothly. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you on another Unventured experience soon!
