Great Day Tour!

Paola_H, Jan 2024
The tour was incredible and Sherwin was a great guide! He explained the history behind every place visited and the tour is planned in a coordinated way. Would 100% recommend.

Well worth it!

Sherwin did a great job! He is a very knowledgeable guide. It was a good bit of walking around the sights, so wear comfortable shoes. I would highly recommend this tour!

Thank you so much!

Genuine local insight into Bangalore

Grainam_D, Feb 2020
I'm so happy to write this review for Sherwin who looked after me on this tour of Bangalore city. He was friendly, genuine and shared some nice insights into the city. I was looked after so well and after an on-time pickup, we got to see the most of the 'tourist' highlights of Bangalore, with Sherwin's local perspective. We saw a lot but it didn't ever feel rushed, which I appreciated. Would absolutely recommend if stopping by in Bangalore. Thanks again!

Excellent tour!

Alex B, May 2019
