A Fantastic Day in Bangalore
We were picked up from our hotel and met our guide Jayanthi in the city center. As we spent the day touring Jayanthi explained everything we were seeing. In the middle of the day we stopped for a delicious South Indian lunch. We highly recommend this tour and our tour guide Jayanthi.

Superb tour, definitely recommend
Completely loved the tour. In one day, we managed to cover the cultural and religious landmarks of Bengaluru. Bull temple was the highlight! Jayanthi did a great job explaining the stories and lore behind Ganesha under the temple. She was hospitable, friendly, and spre knowledgeable. Great food as well!
