Vinay led our tour and we were very impressed by his genuine enthusiasm for his home city. He has travelled a lot and it shows. He knows what travellers are interested in and truly makes his walking tours interesting, informative, and fun. He was a great source of information on all our crazy questions about India. Vinay and his tour... More

The tour is the best way to get to know Mysore before one starts with city sightseeing. Firts day we did the city and market walk early in the morning and next day a drive to Srirangapatna with vintage jeep. Really enjoyed! One gets to know the history, interesing shops, cultural places and markets during the tour. The tour gives... More

It was my wedding anniversary and we planned to visit Coorg and while planning, also decided to drop in at Mysore, little knowing that reminiscing in the history, culture and time spent will be remembered more than Coorg. And all this was possible due to Vinay's excellent knowledge and eloquent oratory skills. My trip to Mysore and the facts that... More

A fresh look at Mysore with an enthusiastic guide - Vinay of Royal Mysore Walks takes you through an offbeat journey through this historical city.

At university I studied cultural tourism and what comprises an authentic experience. Walking around Mysore with Vinay was a classic example of a cultural tourism experience. Vinay knew the history, backed it up with photographs, took us through back lanes to describe the styles of housing and types of businesses, and took us through the markets where we gained an...

The wonderful Mysore walk is an opportunity for history enthusiasts and photographers. The walk through the city on a morning helps photographers capture a lazy city waking up plus the historical places covered especially devaraja market are a photographers delight! More

The best way to get to know the Royal city of Mysore. A super enthusiastic guide (Vinay) and a city filled with intriguing history make a heady combination. The tidbits that Vinay will share give you an insight into the "real" Mysore. My wife was born and brought up in Mysore! Even a "local" person like her got so much... More

We had a short (two hour) walking tour of central Mysore's main attractions, market and significant buildings. Our guide was professional and very informative, so as an introduction to the history and culture of Mysore, this is a great way to get an overview before you explore the city further. More
