Great experience doing a walk tour in Mysore. Our guide was very flexible and made sure that we saw and enjoy the most important areas in Mysore. I would highlight the visit to a very local place where we tried the sarsaparrilla, a traditional drink. I truly recommend this company for waking tours in Mysore. Thank you!
I didn't know what to expect. I was searching for a walking tour. I contacted them. They prompted answers and were efficient. So I booked. Then later Arun , the guide contacted me and was so helpful in every way. As I travelled alone. So The morning we started by walking around the market, and stopped by many landmarks , he bought a famous Mysore sweet for me to try. Then we walked through the palace. Mysore palace is very impressive. Arun is very knowledgeable with all aspects of the tour. It was very informative and entertaining. Arun is an awesome guy , a really gentleman and storyteller. I had a very good time.
Arun is a very friendly knowledgeable tour guide. Before taking me to the markets he explained Mysore’s history and showed me around the historical monuments. The tour through the markets was fascinating and gave me an understanding of how the markets fit in with the culture in mysore, something that you can’t appreciate by walking through by yourself. The tour was topped off by seeing elephants being paraded from the palace through the streets (although this only happens for a few weeks of the year). Would highly recommend!
excellent and profound informations (in perfect in english). we got to see beautiful places. i got a much deeper understanding about mysore and it s history. best tour. i only can recommend!
A great way to become introduced to the city!Souharda, our guide, was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. He provided the history of the area, which is always so helpful. We say a ton and he pointed out a couple additional spots based on our own interests. We will be heading back to the area today to buy some silk!
Well-conceived walking tour of Mysore City's central urban markets, blending sensory experiences where locals shop. Highlight was making of incense, and natural aromatic oils.
Thoroughly recommend this trip through the markets. Really good fun and had a great day. Nishchal was a great guide. Thank you.
This tour had everything we were hoping for. Our tour guide, Nishchal was super friendly, accommodating and very knowledgeable. His genuineness along with guiding us through locals shops and their workings, gave us a more authentic look at Mysore than other tours would have. The numerous drinks and snacks on the way was also a great way to try the local foods and support their business. We were also taken to plenty of beautiful sites and given the history of their creation before we got to the Palace of Mysore making this tour very worthwhile. Overall this tour was an amazing experience and we would recommend it to anyone who wanting to explore Mysore.
A comprehensive presentation of the areas in and around the palace with historical facts and logical explanation. Souharda- Our Narrator was a super cool and loaded with knowledge. Overall event was neatly organised and the commitment of the company - Unventured, to get the event going even if there was only one booking is commendable. Overall a must try for ppl who wants to experience the local Mysore and curiosity to know things about Mysore
We had a really good time on this tour! Souharda was such a great guide and went above and beyond for us. The markets were amazing and we also tried some great food and drinks along the way. Would real recommend this tour if you’re in Mysore for a couple of days.
