Highlights

On this private 3.5-hour tour, discover Bangalore, which was founded 500 years back by the founder of the city Kempegowda. Experience the culture, customs, and traditions come alive in the narrow alleys of this off the beaten path, where you pass through an ancient church, 380 year old temple, heritage building, historic mosque, an old wrestling house, market places, and a traditional healing place. This is the side of Bangalore you will experience only after tossing away the guide book, and one that you will remember for years to come.
