In Arun's words since Bangalore doesn't feature in much of history books since it has been peaceful here. One of the best story tellers one gets to hear about the fascinating history of the city, it's British past till recent past. After you have walked though MG road and heard about the city's amazing past you will get a chance... More

I took the Green heritage walk and loved every bit of it. Right from the convenient manner of booking...the walk itself was a delight. Mr. Vijay took us around Lalbagh - armed with indepth knowledge about the history of the place, its trees and lovely anecdotes to share :). The walk ended with a scrumptious meal at MTR. Definitely a... More

We did the Victorian walk. As the guide will confess, Bangalore doesn't have an obvious selection of monuments to clearly display its history but this tour does uncover less obvious gems and brings to life the significant role this part of India has played in world development. A very interesting and thoroughly worthwhile reason to get up at 6am! As... More

With no knowledge of botany or with little interest in "green heritage", I joined the walk with my wife just to try out something new. I had been to Lal Bagh a few times before. But the walk with Vijay Thiruvady changed my perspective of the garden. Lal Bagh was a perfect place to mix history and botany. And what... More

I did the Victorian Bangalore tour - around the Trinity Circle-MG Road area. It was a very interesting way to to reignite my interest in the local history, given that our family has lived in the area for generations and yet, I was unaware of so many of the stories. (I later told my mum and she not only knew... More

Vijay Thiruvady from www.bangalorewalks.com makes Lalbagh an experience worth cherishing, followed by a sumptuous breakfast at MTR. I had attended one of his greenwalks session and was spellbound by the sheer variety and history that lalbagh has to offer. Mr Vijay not only makes the walk extremely enjoyable, but also helps to appreciate and respect the garden from an aesthetic,... More

Joined this walk on Sunday morning at 8 am instead of 7 am as we were delayed and yet was so satisfied with all that our guide shared with us about the trees in Lalbaug. Botanical names of the plants, their peculiarities,their typical characteristics ,the countries they came from and their influence on various cultures was shared in a very... More

I went on the Victorian history tour, back in September. Arun was an absolute mine of information, ranging from the essential to the really off-beat. All of it was put across in a very easy way that was neither intimidating nor exhausting. OK, 7am on Sunday is a little early for most people, but it's worth the effort. The size... More

I took the "Victorian History" trip and it was nice. My only complaint was that it was at 7am but totally understandable as that is the only time the city is quiet. The guide was really nice and new a lot. Although a lot of his stories appeared to be a bit propaganday. The guide also had a lot of... More
