After a great city trip last year with Praveen, we have booked this year the northern tour with Praveen. It was great again! Starting with an south Indian breakfast we have visited several places. Praveen is a high skilled guide, explained a lot about the hot spots, the country, the history and the people. In addition he is very flexible in adding stops if you have own whishes. Next time in Bengaluru the next tour with Praveen is a must.
Memorable golden triangle trip
Thank you for this tailor-made stay in the golden triangle you organized for us. Everything was perfectly arranged from start to finish. The French-speaking guides and drivers were highly professional, always punctual, and very attentive throughout the trip. The hotels were also very good, and we especially appreciated the fact that the diners was included, which allowed us to fully enjoy our stay without any worries. We will keep wonderful memories of our trip to India. Thank you,, Praveen, for your professionalism, your attention to detail, and for making this experience so memorable.
BEST experience in India
One of the BEST travel experiences I’ve had! This full day in Mysore was fun, interesting and our guide Fiaz - was one of the best I’ve toured with. Fiaz was very knowledgeable on all the sites, accommodated our specific needs for the day and was kind and funny. He cared for all we needed throughout the day. The sites visited on this tour were beautiful and all historic in their own way. Highly recommend this tour and guide!
Great full day Mysore tour
We had a great tour with Faizan as our guide! He was very knowledgeable, kind, and allowed us to skip to the front of many of the stops. Mysore was a great day trip, with interesting stops and history. The food was great for breakfast and lunch. Would recommend this tour if you’re solo or in a group!
Solo Female Travelers
Solo female travelers, if you are hesitant about venturing out on your own, please do not hesitate to book this tour! Praveen was a wonderful host and tour guide. I felt safe and secure the entire time. This tour will not only give you the history of Bangalore but you will genuinely get a chance to experience the graciousness of the people. Don’t stay in your hotel room, get out and explore!
Best Mysore tour! Just book it
Our guide was fantastic, this was our second tour because we loved the first one so much! Great information, open to lots of questions and the breadth of experience is excellent, from temple ruins to the palace and old world market. Do your self a favour and book this tour!
A wonderful experience!
This day-long tour was absolutely a highlight of my time in Bangalore! Praveen is a most excellent tour guide and the tour exceeded expectations. From even before pick up everything was well organized and efficient. We were picked up by a driver at our hotel and taken to meet Praveen to start the tour. The driver stayed with us, dropping us off at the different locations. Praveen is friendly, respectful, very well informed of the history of Bangalore and just a lot of fun to spend time with! You can tell he loves sharing Bangalore with visitors and really wants everyone to have a great experience. It was just 3 of us and when I asked for the addition of a Kali temple to the itinerary, he found a great temple nearby for us to visit. By the end of the tour we knew a lot about the history of Bangalore, had spent time around the city, eaten at a well known eatery, shopped at the market, and seen sights we wouldn’t have known to explore. I highly recommend this tour!
Best tour guide for a memorable tour
Praveen was charming, street-smart and full of historical knowledge. Each stop of our tour was memorable and an amazing way to spend a few hours.
Great tour!
Had a great tour with Praveen! He describes himself as a history buff and he really knows his stuff. I appreciated his historical knowledge and guidance as he navigated us through palaces, Hindu temples and markets. Be sure to wear long pants in order to get into the mosque at the end! 5/5
Fun Day in the City
Praveen was such a fun knowledgable guide for our tour - we are here on business and wanted a relaxing but educational walk around Bangalore on our day off. Cannot recommend enough, thank you so much Praveen!
A Fantastic Bangalore Experience with an Exceptional Guide
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Hidden Gems Tours in Bangalore. I had booked the city tour for my business guests visiting from Europe, and it turned out to be a fantastic way to introduce them to the city, its history, culture and character. A special mention has to go to our guide, Mr. Pradeep. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, engaging and passionate about Bangalore. What really stood out was his ability to bring the history and stories of the city to life rather than simply taking us from one attraction to another. His explanations were insightful, easy to follow and full of interesting details, and he kept everyone engaged throughout the tour. My guests thoroughly enjoyed the experience and came away with a much deeper appreciation of Bangalore and its heritage. The tour was well planned, comfortable and professionally managed from start to finish. I would highly recommend Hidden Gems Tours, particularly for anyone hosting international visitors and looking to give them an authentic and memorable introduction to Bangalore. And if you have Mr. Pradeep as your guide, you are in excellent hands! Thank you to the entire team for making it such a memorable experience for us and our guests.
Expertly guided
Hidden Gems Tours gave me the most amazing Golden Triangle experience. Praveen expertly fitted it into my tight time slot. I’ve now seen many of the iconic sights of India! I particularly loved Jaipur which felt like a microcosm of India with all the bustle, ancient buildings, beautiful scenery, cows, rickshaws and markets. Timing the Taj Mahal for sunrise was a great call both for the experience and to avoid the crowds. My driver Yusuf was really good; he drove safely but efficiently. The local guides were really knowledgeable and easy to be with. I did long days to fit in the sites but it never felt rushed and there was time for plenty of stories of the past. Hidden Gems Tours and Praveen were brilliant - thank you for the experience of a lifetime.
Amazing experience
This was the perfect tour - Praveen did an incredible job customising it for 3 nights to fit in all the things that interested me. His organisation and attention to detail are second to none. Book this tour - you won’t regret it - it was amazing and at an great price. It was a magical mix of ancient monuments, animals and real life that seemed like it hadn’t changed for hundreds of years as we travelled through small towns and villages in an area barely touched by outside tourism. The Badami cave temples were a real highlight and the tour was so well timed we were the only people there! Hampi was wondrous; the bears there were utterly gorgeous. The landscape was spectacular. Can’t recommend highly enough - thank you Hidden Gems Tours!
Fantastic trip of animals and palaces
Hidden Gems Tours were brilliant - Praveen was really attentive and shaped the tour around my interests. The wildlife safaris were much more than I could hope for - I saw tigers (twice!) which was incredibly lucky. Elephants were commonplace! Just being in the jungle was amazing. The accommodation at Bandipur was great - rustic with monkeys hanging around. Mysore was majestic and Praveen’s knowledge and insights really brought the place to life. An unforgettable trip.
An Unforgettable Journey into the History and Heritage of Lepakshi
We had a wonderful trip to Lepakshi Temple with Hidden Gems Tours, organized for my business guests visiting from Europe. Our guide, Mr. Pradeep, was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and engaging, and his explanations of the temple’s history, architecture, carvings and stories really brought the place to life. My guests thoroughly enjoyed the experience and were fascinated by the history and craftsmanship of Lepakshi. The trip was very well organized and comfortable throughout. Highly recommended, especially when hosting international visitors who want to experience India’s incredible history and heritage.
Praveen was brilliant and we had a great day!
Praveen is a wonderful guide, he is very knowledgeable and his stories really brought Mysore to life for us. The places he took us to eat were fantastic and overall we had a great day. He also made us all feel comfortable with his friendly and engaging manner. Couldn’t recommend him higher!
Don’t miss this amazing experience! Worth it!!!
What an amazing day, great highlights of Bengaluru! Never would have found these wonderful spots or had such a rich experience. History and current culture woven into an unscripted and conversationally excellent guide Praveen was the best part!
Amazing city tour with a great guide!
The tour was amazing. The driver picked me up at my hotel in time and the guide was great. Very friedly and professional. He cared very well for us! We learned a lot about the history of Bangalore and how it is developing today. Especially the visit of the marked was impressive. At lunch we had super tasty food from the region. Thank you very much, I would always book this tour again!
