Brilliant running tour - On a return visit to Bangalore, I’ve booked another running tour of Bangalore with Praveen. What an excellent tour. Praveen was able to select a new running route for us that enabled me to explore a new part of Bangalore I am quite sure I would never find without a local guide. Praveen proved an apt and friendly expert who could easily give detail and context to the variety of sites we visited. As a running tour, Praveen kept our pace consistent and casual. We completed 10k in about 90 minutes as we took several pauses to visit a church, Sikh temple and other cultural spots. Our run was a mix of city neighbourhoods, parks and lakeside. For fit business professionals, aircrew or adventurous tourists alike, take the opportunity to go on a running tour of Bangalore with Praveen.

Great way to experience Bangalore - Like many visitors to Bangalore, I was visiting the city for work. This early morning running tour with breakfast was a perfect fit to my work agenda. I would do morning fitness and breakfast anyway, so why not combine it with a tour to know better the city where my work associates live and many come from. Praveen was a brilliant guide. He was prompt, exceedingly knowledgeable, engaging and fit for our laid back running tour of three parks and the neighbourhoods in between. Our tour was a mix of history, culture and discovery of the local flora and fauna, which were all exceedingly diverse and novel. We also attended a local temple and had a very delicious local breakfast, shoulder to shoulder with locals; always the sign of a great restaurant. Bangalore is chock full of fascinating new sights and smells. Having Praveen to curate the discovery of these, while trotting among a bustling morning in Bangalore, is an experience I doubt I will ever forget. His flawless communication and keen listening made him the perfect guide to enable me to rapidly immerse into and grasp the beautiful complexity of this exceptional location. As a bonus, my local work colleagues were both impressed and appreciative of my exploration of their city. This deepened our mutual respect enabling me to increase my effectiveness at work. Win / win.

Historical running tour done right - It was brilliant. I had a great time running with Praveen. He took me to some of the hidden nooks in the city. But the best was the breakfast after the run :-D

The BEST way and company to experience Bangalore! - After a wonderful experience together in February 2023, I booked another running tour with Praveen and his business. Mr Praveen Singh kindly tailored an amazing tour for me around the beautiful city of Bangalore. Picking me up at my hotel at 6am, he first showed me the incredible flower markets, followed by a great run around the city of Bangalore, visiting most of the key attractions. We ran through Cubbon Park, nice government buildings / places, some churches and temples. We were even very blessed to take part in the Bangalore Marathon (unofficially by running a few KM’s), with Praveen’s expert knowledge of the roads. We went to a local restaurant for breakfast - and had nice coffee, Dosa’s, Vada. Beautiful food! For me personally, this is one of the best ways to see all of Bangalore. But even if you aren’t a runner and prefer to walk, they will be very flexible with your requirements, and have many other tours that they can offer. Praveen is a true gentleman, humble, trustworthy, friendly and honourable man. He has expert English and so very knowledgable with the history of India and the Bangalore city. I look forward to man more explorations and experiences with my friend!

Running tour Bangalore - For the second time i booked a running tour in Bangalore with local guide Praveen Singh. For me as a runner this is the best way to explore a city. We went to Cubbon Park. Praveen showed me again the daily life of the people of Bangalore. His knowledge of the history of Bangalore,amazing facts about the fauna and flora combined with 10 km running made it again a wonderful experience. Breakfast with locals also a very nice experience.

What a wonderful experience! - What a wonderful way to start the day! Truly the highlight of my stay. Praveen is so kind, positive and knowledgeable person who is clearly passionate about the work he does. He took care of me like I was a friend. The tour features places I would have never found on my own and even locals didn’t know about - truly hidden gems. Highly recommend any of the Hidden Gem Tours as Praveen is the owner.

The best tour of Banaglore! - We had the pleasure of booking Praveen for his Running Tour of Bangalore. It was an amazing experience and the best way to explore and see places of Bangalore you wouldn’t normally see! We saw amazing Botanical Gardens, we saw a small Cow farm, we saw a family of monkeys, and so much more. We finished the tour off with an incredible breakfast which was divine. Praveen was so knowledgeable, friendly, funny and professional. I’d love to book another tour the next time I visit Bangalore!

The kindest & most knowledgable tour guide in Bangalore - This is a MUST do if you like active tours whilst in Bangalore. Parveen knows so much and his passion for Bangalore shines through. He took me to so many secret sights within nature and told me about them - my highlights being the 1000’s of fruit bats in a hidden part of the park & the friendly monkeys he took me right up close to! Having breakfast with him in a local place after the run was the icing on the cake… or should I say the chutney to my puri!

Running tour - I made a running tour with Praveen . Running along the roads of Bengalore. Visit the botanical gardens and Bull temple and having breakfast with the locals is the best way to explore a city. Not a ordinary tourist tour, but a inside in Indian life. One of the best tours i ever made. Thank you Praveen
