The legacy of over 150 years of British presence in Bangalore is hard to miss if you are in the city. For example, the broad roads laid out over 200 years ago for horse carriages, bullock carts, and horsemen do a fine job of carrying the chaotic traffic of this day too. This is a half-day tour in a sedan/minivan and lasts about 4 hours

Inclusions: Transport by private air-conditioned car or minivan, Bottled water, Hotel pickup and drop-off from hotels in M G Road area. Else we meet a Cauvery Emporium at 8 AM, Passionate and fluent English presenter, Entry Fees, Authentic South Indian Lunch

There are many cuisines that you can dine and enjoy in Bengaluru but the best way to experience the local life & food of the city is by interacting with locals and having interesting conversations over authentic and regional food.

I had booked the private tour of Royal Mysore with Five senses tours and we had Satish as our guide. It was an amazing day. Satish was a fantastic person with immence knowledge. He was also very caring and took very good care of us who were all first time visitors in India. Mysore was incredible and the palace is no less than Taj Mahal. We also saw other parts of this old kingdom like the old bazaar and few more palaces. The lunch was fingerlicking. Satish had suggested traditional Mysore meals and it was a great experience. Go ahead and book this whenever you are in India! Fully recommended.

Ride in the comfort of your car to beautiful palaces of the Royals listening to little known stories of their quirks and thrills. Local breakfast and a delicious plantain leaf lunch culminate this tour where you sit back to allow us to introduce you to our city the way we know best.

My family recently did a 3 hour cycle ride around Hesserghettq lake. Tej was an excellent guide- She was patient, kept us safe, really friendly and knowledge about the area. Everything was very organised and well planned. They provided great snacks and we stoped for coffee along the way, and ended with a much needed coconut water. The scenery throughout is beautiful and peaceful, going through little villages and passing lots of farm land. It felt like we had truly escaped the city for a few hours. I highly recommend the tour.
