A Diamond in the Rough
Wow! I had no idea how awesome this tour was going to be when I booked it. Praveen was an excellent tour guide. His strengths go well beyond knowledge; he was insightful, thoughtful, easily understood, and incredibly enthusiastic about the city and its history. He was always smiling and it seemed like he couldn't wait to share his city with us. Ive been on a number of tours in a variety of countries and this one went straight to the top of the list. If you are visiting Bangalore (or if you're a local and want to know more about your city), then look no further. Hidden Gem tours delivered as promised! We literally went off the beaten path to see and learn about things we'd never find on our own. Learning the history of the city with such enthusiasm really brought the city to life. The value and experience is well worth then price of admission. Thanks Praveen for an incredible day. You will not be forgotten!

Truly a hidden gem
This was one of the best tours I have ever been on. Praveen is passionate about the history of Bangalore and really shows some wonderful hidden gems. I have been to this city multiple times, and I learned so much on this trip. Our driver was awesome as well, he would show up out of nowhere for seamless transfers, and provided a safe smooth journey. I would recommend this tour to anyone who loves history and wants to see the magical side of Bangalore.

Great time learning about Bangalore
The Bangalore through the ages city tour was a great way to start my time in the city. Pradeep is quite possibly one of the best guides I’ve ever had and whisked me around the city in ways I could have never done on my own. His knowledge, attention to details, and humor allowed the time go by quickly and quite enjoyably. I will definitely book with Hidden Gems again.

Discovering Bengaluru‘s Soul
Exploring Bengaluru with Praveen was an absolute delight! We began with a cup of delicious local coffee that set the perfect tone for the day. At Lalbagh Botanical Garden, Praveen revealed hidden corners and stories that made the gardens come alive. Receiving blessings at the Bull Temple was a serene and spiritual highlight, followed by a deliciously crispy dosa lunch. The vibrant chaos of KR Market was a feast for the senses, and ending at the historic Bengaluru Fort and Saint Andrew’s Church tied the journey together beautifully. Praveen’s warmth, knowledge, and storytelling made the city feel both familiar and magical — truly a tour to remember!”

A must do from Bengalaru to Mysore
A great and long, packed day with a great driver and Deepak - the best guide i have had in a long time. He is so knowledgeable about the temple and the palace, it was an enlightening and rewarding experience. Both these are must sees in the history, architecture and development of Mysore. Deepak has enormous energy and a great sense of humour as well. Highly recommend this trip.
My partner and I had an amazing time on the food tour for this. Got straight off the train and in to this tour. Gosia was great, told us a lot a lot about the history and culture of Krakow as we went to the different food places. Excellent food selections too. Would highly recommend going on this.

A fantastic day out!
This was such a great way to see Mysore. Praveen was so knowledgeable, a great story teller and photographer making this a day to remember. The food was delicious, the temples beautiful. It gave us a real taste of the culture and hospitality of this region. I would definitely recommend!

Incredible Day Tour hitting the Top Bangalore Sites
When I learned I would be returning to Bangalore for work once more -- I knew I needed to book another Hidden Gems tour! As per usual, the entire day was incredible and I finally got to meet Praveen. Praveen's love of history and the city of Bangalore is so readily apparent and infectious -- you could not have a better guide for the city. I was finally able to see more sides of Bangalore that I have never seen before; the beautiful Lalbagh Garden, more local temples, old forts, ancient markets, as well as an amazing vegetarian lunch at a 102 year old restaurant! Traffic was light due to Good Friday, so Praveen added two bonus stops considering how well on time we were :) I cannot recommend Hidden Gem tours enough -- please do the city tour if you do not have time to go further afield , you will get so much done and see so many amazing sites! (And if you DO have time, please book for any of their other amazing tours). Thank you again Praveen for an incredibly day and being such a kind, informative guide to your city.
