- 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 May 6, 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 January 19, 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 December 10, 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.

We loved the tour! Bangalore is such a busy and bustling place, it was fantastic to have a guide as lovely as Deepti to show us around. The depth of her knowledge of the area was impressive and we enjoyed hearing the history of the market area.

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.

Fantastic walk along with the perfect guide Deepti. She was knowledgeable, funny and interesting. This walk took us to places we probably wouldn't have visited otherwise. The flower market was fantastic to visit. When we were at the wedding the next day and got to see these made it even more interesting. To see them tie these garlands- impressive. Interesting to hear the story of Bangalore and people who have been here.
