Amazing intro to city - First off, Praveen is great. I'd take any tour with him. Wealth of information. This walking tour included: ashram, old British church, Hindu temple, sheik temple, old British part of town and old native part of town. The best part was walking thru a small (and manageable) bazaar, and getting snacks. Try the Indian prunes. Be prepared to take your shoes off for temples. You can wear socks.

Excellent historical, botanical, political, societal, cultural walking tour all rolled up into one! - I spent a wonderful morning with Praveen touring various Hindu and Sikh temples and a British colonial military chuch, strolling through old markets, and admiring beautiful architechture and trees around the Ulsoor area. Praveen was extremely knowledgable, flexible with scheduling, and customized the tour based on my interests. Highly recommended for solo travelers, families, or business people while working or visiting in the area.

Heritage Walk - We had a great afternoon on our Heritage Walk with Praveen! It was a fantastic way to see parts of the city we wouldn’t have ventured to as well as the stories behind the city. Highly recommended.

Varied & Interesting - This walking tour is a great way to explore some different facets of the city. Going at a nice relaxed pace, we discovered some of the different quarters of this part of the city while learning facts about different eras of history, religion, culture & we also tasted some snacks. A great way to do a little exploring and learn something along the way.
