Amazing tour of the history of Bangaluru

Shiela_K, Sep 2024

Best in depth analysis of the history of a city we have ever had! Praveen is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Bangaluru, of India and how it all connects with world events at a given time. He’s also very fun to talk with.

Perfect half-day tour!

Christina_F, May 2024

My husband and I booked The British Walking Tour. However, we wanted to modify this tour to a shorter time since we were departing India that evening. Praveen was graciously accommodating and planned the perfect itinerary. We spent time in Lalbough Botanical Garden Which we absolutely loved. The rare and unique trees are magnificent and Praveen made this jewel of a park so interesting. We toured the market and had an amazing time, especially walking through the flower market. We made another stop at the remaining walls of the original city of Bangalore. He taught us so much about the role of the British East India Company in Bangalore’s history. Praveen’s love of history and his city is evident. We felt safe in his hands and would use his company again if the opportunity arises. Highly recommend! Thanks for an amazing tour, Praveen!

British history with a very knowledgeable guide

Christopher_B, Mar 2024

Praveen is an amazing local guide who is very friendly, personable, knowledgeable and has a great passion for all things Bangalore. He is very happy to share his great depth of knowledge of history, places around the city as well as it's flaura and fona. He ends the tour with an amazing lunch as well which really was the icing on the cake for this tour. I cannot recommend taking this tour or booking anything else Praveen offers, he will not disappoint. Thanks again for showing Nicole and I a great day out in Bangalore!
