    Perfect introduction to Bangalore (and to India!). Vignesh was a great guide, giving lots of history as well as details about all the sights we visited. Since I was alone they adapted the tour for me, spending time to go into the silk and jewel shops. It was a great way to see the markets and also try butter fruit (avocado) juice. They helped me to take my transport at the end of the tour and were very careful to make sure I felt comfortable and safe

    We are so happy to have booked a walking tour, it was such a special way to enjoy the city. Our tour guide was Prashant and I feel like he took care of us. At the market he got special fruits for us to try and took some really great photos for us to share. Prashant taught us so much about the area, and I appreciated that he took us into a temple. I probably would have been too intimidated to go alone. We asked if we could get coffee and Prashant even helped us with that! He was so nice and professional, I would absolutely recommend this tour.
