Great tour of Bangaluru

KATHRYN_A, Jun 2026

This tour was great! Shama was very knowledgeable about both the city & the locations we went to. She asked at the beginning of the tour if there was any modifications I wanted to make to the itinerary. After discussing what I was interested in, she made suggestions that worked out perfectly! It was a fun day of exploring Bangaluru!

Jessica_S, Jun 2026

This tour never felt rushed and packed in so much! Shama was a wonderful guide who shared her culture and knowledge with us. I would absolutely recommend this as a way to explore Bangalore, especially if you are limited in your time.

Excellent Tour

Jonathan_H, Feb 2026

This is a very thorough and excellent tour for the price. This will give you access to all the key sites in and around Bangalore and I highly recommend it to someone wanting to see the city temples and parks. The tour guide and driver were very professional, and it was very convenient from the hotel.

5 Star Tour of Bengaluru with Perfect Guides

Richard_L, Oct 2025

5 star tour of Bengaluru from Shama and Madhu! They were on time and showed us all the sites of Bengaluru safely and on schedule. Love how Shama and Madhu knew exactly how to navigate the traffic and crowds and help us appreciate the growth of Bengaluru. Best part was seeing the central city and the bars and nightlife

Alma N, Sep 2017

I booked this tour and Shama was my tour guide. She was excellent and was explaining all the main statues and buildings in the city as we were on our way to the temples, museums and palace. She explained the city's history and reasoning behind the city's name. She was able to accommodate the tour to my preferences. Shama went above and beyond to deliver. She was very kind to even do henna painting on my hands as I could not find a place to have it done. She was excellent.

Rachel H, Apr 2017

This trip is very interesting and informative. The tour guide is knowledgeable about the city and shared many history, cultural, and anecdotal stories at each scenery place. He was able to tailor and customize the trip to my interest, and visited all the spots that I'd like to cover. Bengaluru traffic is very congested, especially during the rush hours. It took us over an extra hour to get back to the hotel I was staying. Both the tour guide and the driver were very flexible and accommodating. I absolutely had wonderful experiences and would highly recommend the tour, for anyone who'd like to have customized and in-depth tour of the city.

I would highly recommend Shama Sadig for your custom tour of Bengaluru! Her knowledge and personality made this adventure one to remember! Thank you, Shama, for everything.

Robert D, Aug 2016

The tour of Bengaluru was great. I was picked up at my hotel on time and driven around the crazy streets of Bengaluru by a great driver. The guide Shama Sadiq was very knowledgeable regarding all of the places we visited. It was great having her to point out places of interest and answer all my questions. She also facilitated entrance into the places which made the visits easier. She also made me aware of many local customs so I would not unintentionally offend anyone. I highly recommend Shama Sadiq as a local tour guide.
