Srirangapatna Tours and Tickets

The whole experience was good .Guide and driver were very good at their jobs . However with so much driving involved and traffic being what it is in India ,I would cut out the art gallery and market sections of the itinerary, at the end of the day .Start journey back to Bengaluru earlier .

The full day experience is quite long so be prepared to be gone until 8/9pm given Bengaluru traffic. There is a rich set of history, architectural and religious knowledge sharing through this tour. The guide was able to share all history even if you had no knowledge; however it's so much you might want to read ahead of time if you're a visual learner and it's your first exposure to the content.

Great tour, great crew. Fes is absolute legend - tons of knowledge and keeps the conversation flowing naturally. Afsar gets tons of props for driving all day when everyone else is wiped out. 10/10 - totally worth it.

My friend and I would highly recommend this tour as it is very insightful. We learned a lot about the history and culture of Mysore, Somnathpur, and Srirangapatna. Our tour guide, Pradeep, was amazing - very knowledgeable and humorous, which made our experience even more memorable. He provided many recommendations around Bangalore and took great care to ensure our safety throughout the tour. By the end of the tour, he felt like a father to us!

You should definitely book this trip. If you do, I hope that you find, as I did, that from the long car ride along the countryside to the authentic foods, both at breakfast and at lunch, the palace and market experiences along with the knowledgeable and entertaining anecdotes of the host, that you'll come away from your cultural experience today feeling like you got a good sampling of what India has been and has to offer. The experience is very colorful in both the metaphoric and physical ways. The palace experience is extraordinary and is a feast for the eyes to look upon as are the temples. And of course, the flower market gives you a tiny window into the past. The host praveen was very knowledgeable and kind and entertaining about over his different experiences with the guards to India in general and Bangalore specifically.

Great itinerary with excellent guide though somewhat overpriced for India. It is a 2 n half to 3 hour drive from Bangaluru. RAGHU the guide was full of information which he shared very well. Great to be with.

One of the best day trips I've ever done. We were picked up from our Bangalore hotel early and from the first stop — a silk cocoon market I never would have found on my own — it was clear this wasn't going to be a typical tourist run-around. The stops were perfectly spaced throughout the day. Somnathpur blew me away — the Chennakeshava Temple is steeped in centuries of history and the stone carvings are unlike anything I've seen. My guide, Kiran, was super nice and knew the history inside out, from the Hoysala dynasty to Tipu Sultan's campaigns at Srirangapatna, and had a real gift for making it all come alive rather than just reciting facts. Mysore Palace lived up to every expectation, and the lunch break by the Cauvery river at Srirangapatna gave us a chance to breathe before the afternoon. The pacing across the whole day was spot on — never rushed, never dragging. If you have one day to get out of Bangalore, this is how to spend it. Exceptional tour, exceptional guide.

This is one of the best tours that I’ve had the pleasure to experience. Every aspect of this tour has been meticulously planned to allow you to maximise the day and enjoy Mysore, and the surrounding area. What is particularly great about this tour is that it avoids the usual tourist traps and souvenir shops and takes you to unique local sights and allows you to soak up the culture, from authentic silk markets to hidden riverside restaurants. Praveen is an excellent guide and does everything possible to ensure you get as much as possible from the tour. He’s knowledgeable, insightful and offers excellent customer service. Nothing is too much trouble for him and his passion for providing an excellent experience for his guests was evident. From the stunning Mysore Palace to the hustle bustle of the market with its array of colours and scents, each part of the tour left a lasting memory. I cannot praise this tour, and Praveen enough and would highly recommend.
