The temples were meaningful to visit. As a psychologist, I particularly enjoyed learning about the first mental health treatment center in the area and its intertwined history with Bank of Mysore. The Cave Temple was incredibly unique. Finishing up with traditional neighborhood and visiting a home was special. I highly recommend. Thank you!!Written 3 June 2024
- X8447OKalejandror0 contributionsPerfect half-day tour of BangaloreThe half-day Bangalore tour with Sushma was phenomenal. It was the perfect way to finish my stay in Bangalore. If you’re in Bangalore, and want to learn more about its landmarks and history, Sushma is your tour guide.Written 18 May 2024
- 225philippab0 contributionsMust do walking tourThis tour is a must do if youre interested in history/culture and food. I had a wonderful half day tour with Sushma and Deepti. They took me to great spots off the beaten track - I got a great feel for old bangalore. They listened to what I wanted for the tour and modified their usual path to suit me. We stopped for a snack along the way and they made sure I was comfortable the whole tour.Written 6 May 2024
- Tour045063319710 contributionsAmazing afternoonHad a fantastic time on this tour. Navitha was very knowledgeable, lots of fun and took time to explain everything to us. The market was amazing, the colours, the smells, the atmosphere was unforgettable. Would recommend Navitha and this tour to anyone.Written 2 April 2024
- VedaCare0 contributionsGreat guide in BengaloreBeautiful tour with Sashma, she made me discover a city I didn’t know and without her I would not have felt so happy and welcomed. Fully recommend booking her for your visitWritten 29 March 2024
- AdrianG3570 contributionsGreat experienceA fascinating tour. For me, the cave temple and nearby village were the highlights, but every stop and walk were interesting and enjoyable. The masala dosa and coffee were delicious too. Sushma was a friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and humorous guide. Thank you!Written 15 February 2024
- Andy D0 contributionsProfessional and personable tour guides made both of our tours very enjoyableMy friend and I did both the 1/2 day Bangalore and Full-day Mysore tour with Yours Truly and had fantastic experiences with both. Got to visit notable landmarks as well as some local spots where we saw no other tourists. Guides also took us to some great restaurants. Messaged the company on WhatsApp to organize our tour, and the owner was very accommodating with our time constraints (we arrived and departed by overnight trains). Always very responsive and communicated very clearly. Would strongly recommend.Written 19 January 2024
- Ellie M0 contributionsRuchira is a fantastic tour guide in BangaloreRuchira took me out for a half day tour of Bangalore, and it was superb! She’s really knowledgeable and the tour was a great way to see the city in the short amount of free time I had. I was a solo traveller and it was a perfect way to see some of the local spots without much planning, I also booked it with less than 24 hours notice which was much appreciated.Written 10 December 2023
- Heather C0 contributionsFantastic personalised food and culture tour of BangaloreWe had a personalised day tour with Ruchira who was an extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide, taking us to some of the best food and cultural spots of Bangalore. We had a glimpse of the old Bangalore and visited some spots and neighbourhoods that we’d never have found in our own. Highlights were our breakfast of Masala Dosa, Tipu Sultan Palace and the colourful flower market. This isn’t the cheapest tour but if you want some true insights and a tour personalised to your interests (ours was food and culture) then this is the one.Written 28 November 2023
- hasi00020 contributionsBest Dosa in City but expensive tourBest Dosa in City and interesting walk. The tour guide was very good and we had fun together. The only thing is that the tour is too expensive. We can suggest the tour but have to give one point less because of the price. If it's cheaper the tour will be perfect.Written 27 November 2023
- F313CJrobertm0 contributionsUnforgettable!We just did this afternoon the trip to fort, palace and market with a more then superguide Navitha. An incredible 3 hours with a lot of good and clear information in a crowdy part of Bangalore. U forgettable!Written 10 November 2023
- Purplish09150 contributionsSee and Learn About the Historic Roots of the Modern CityWe booked this tour in order to see some of Bengaluru without figuring out or own transportation. This was an excellent idea as the traffic around the city was definitely a challenge to navigate. Our tour guide and driver arrived right on time and got us started with some history of the city and the places we would see. We stopped at the Bull Temple and were given lots of history and even some context on the temple's importance in Hinduism. We sampled some south Indian snacks and coffee from a restaurant. It was great to go with a knowledgeable person to help us find a clean, safe place to try something delicious. We ventured to the original produce/flower market. The amount of fresh produce and flowers for sale was almost as overwhelming as the crush of people there! We drove over to the Parliament Building and walked a bit in Cubbon Park. The tour hit some great highlights, we learned a lot, got great pictures and enjoyed our air-conditioned ride. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bengaluru!Written 9 November 2023
- Compass230262541320 contributionsWalking Tour Nov 2023Thank you for this tour! What an amazing way to experience a little bit of the history, culture, and character, of this fantastic city, couple of its neighborhoods, and also two of its beautiful and historic temples. Navitha was a fantastic host and guide for my tour and I thoroughly enjoyed the time and conversation with her. From the time spent with her for a quick bite at the historic Vidyarthi Bhavan - which was delicious - to the amazing and informative background and perspectives she offered as we strolled through that part of the city and then on to two temples, I learned a great deal about this community and its rich heritage as well as some general knowledge about India as a whole. I would highly recommend this tour, this tour agency, and Navitha in particular! John Sneed, USA, TennesseeWritten 5 November 2023

Sushma was an excellent guide. She was well informed and delivered thoroughly researched content on various aspects of the city - architecture, history, culture and folklore. We had several enlightening discussions throughout the walk. Having gone with our dog, we were slow at times and had to make some pitstops, but Sushma and Deepti were both very accommodating and helped us all through the way.
Highly recommend this team!

Navitha took us on a wonderful, informative tour of Bangalore. She took us to one of the city’s best dosa spots & it was amazing! We then headed to a local market selling fruits, vegetables & flowers. Was very interesting to walk around & not something our group would have likely ventured to do without a guide. Navitha was kind, very well-informed & was happy to answer all of our questions. We liked our experience with Yours Truly India so much we booked two additional activities through the group — a yoga class in Cubbon Park & a cooking class where we learned to make delicious traditional South Indian dishes. Highly recommend this group.

This was amazing. Sushma took us to places most tourists never get to see and told very interesting stories that illustrated the beautiful culture and history of the area and the strength the people. So glad I got to do this, I am still thinking about what we experienced, lasting memories were created.

Our tour "Bangalore: Walking Tour of Fort, Palaces, and Market" through the old city of Bengalore was absolutely amazing. Sushma is a fabulous guide and the four hours with her were perfect for my first time in India. We experienced life in the city, learned about the history and a wonderful time.

Ruchira was the best guide for this tour. It was really nice spending this time with her, learning about Bangalore’s history, and getting to know her. She is soo knowledgeable and very patient with my questions 😅 She took me to eat a delish Indian breakfast (if you haven’t tried Dosa yet, you’re missing out). Great half-day tour if you don’t have much time in Bangalore and want to really know India. I hope I can see Ruchira again in my next visit 😊

An excellent Bangladesh Heritage Tour with Ruchira. It was informative and enlightening. Takes one through several centuries of Bangalore's history. An exhilarating walk through multiple markets in the old city. Includes a stop at a cafe serving superb South Indian specialties. A feast for all five senses. Highly recommended.
