My experience with Unventured was fabulous from start to finish. Veena was particularly great to deal with. I’m a solo traveller and I’d been searching for a reputable company in Bangalore to help organise a private hiking tour for me. I wanted to customise my experience so that I could undertake specific activities that interested me the most … solely centred around hiking in beautiful locations. Veena sourced me an English speaking guide, who also happened to be a mountaineering and survivalist instructor that teaches people to scale the Himalayas, so I was in good company. Nithyam was not only a capable guide, but he is also a thoroughly lovely chap and it was my pleasure to spend the day with him (despite my fitness levels being lower than his). Not knowing the area, I was reliant on unventured choosing beautiful locations and they certainly didn’t disapoint. They also organised a private pick up too and from my hotel which was luxurious and very convenient. Without a second thought, I would rate the company and my experience as 5*++. Thanks to all the team for helping make this one of life’s memorable moments 🙏

Midhu gave me a tour of the city. She is a visual communications major, so not only did she communicate well, but her pictures were really well composed. Really enjoyed the tour which provided a good balance of history, culture, and business. The Tuk Tuk was nice especially in the heat to cool off. Midhu was also very clued in hosting and made sure to offer water, stops, etc. Even though a student, she was equivalent to experienced guides I've had in Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo, and Kyoto.

Pooja was a wonderful guide for our Tuk Tuk tour. The overall experience was fun, chaotic and amazing. We really enjoyed Pooja’s excellent historical and cultural explanations for the palace and temple. The flower market was a highlight to see the bustling, vibrant local scene. This is a great way to see some of Bengaluru’s highlight up close.

They customized the thing for us by way of making it into a treasure hunt/amazing race with clues and what not and the whole thing was a really fun and different way to explore the city! We worked with the founder Tehaswini initially and then guide they selected, Ajith, was also excellent and really knew his stuff, besides making the whole thing fun!

Midhu, my rockstar guide for the day, was knowledgeable about Nandi Hills, Bengaluru, and Indian history. I learned about Indian history, Hinduism, and visited local cottage industries. I got to meet locals, drink out of a coconut, and visit a Hindu temple. I would recommend this tour to guests who are reasonably in shape (it's a lot of cycling), have an open mind, and want to have some fun.

I did the half day "Good Morning Bengaluru" Bike tour with Ajith on a July Thursday and it was amazing! I was in Bangalore for work with little spare time but wanted to see some of the real city so this was perfect. It was very early start but the point was to see how the city wakes up, plus it gives a chance to warms up to the traffic. About cycling and the traffic: We had hybrid/mountain bikes which were fairly light, solid and seemingly well maintained with smooth gears, i.e. good bikes and helmets. I cycle to work regularly and I was the only person on my tour (I didn't know that before - it was chance) which meant I could follow Ajith closely so I was OK even when the traffic was extreme in the last hour. Bikes are a really really great way to see the city as you cover so much ground, and Ajith knew what he was doing BUT I would recommend thinking carefully about this tour if you are a less confident cyclist or in a larger group (could be tricky at the traffic lights). The tour was a mixture of culture and history lesson which was great, with visits to places important for the people (rather than tourist attractions like the palaces etc) like temples, gardens and places to eat and drink. Fascinating! Highly recommended.

It was very well organised, with great care taken for the safety of the kids. The guide knew the terrain and was knowledgeable. The homestay was fantastic, offering plenty of outdoor space for the kids to play. Overall, the experience was amazing

I HIGHLY Recommend this Tour … AND, give ( “Tour-Guide” ) Pooja a HIGH rating on her excellence and professionalism in overseeing / Directing the Tour, She IS a good communicator?r ( she speaks English) and shares a lot of interesting facts while relating it all to Culture and Regionally insightful realities. Really a good Tour.

Pooja with “The” Tour agency IS Great ! She is informative and an excellent communicator of interesting naratives regarding each site visited. The way the Tour is set-up for each site-visit is engaging yet comfortable in pace ( Pooja is excellent at guiding / directing agenda ). The “TukTuk” connection / means of accessing each site IS A “hoot” ( FUN ) - really provides a feel of what the Culture and Community are all-about !

Midhu was a lovely tour guide and very knowledgeable about the industries and history of the area. Highly recommend her and the tour if you have a free day and want to explore outside of the Bangalore metro area.

I did the "Bengaluru in a nutshell tour" with my guide Shreyas. It was an amazing experience. So much to see and soo interesting and beautiful palaces, temples, markets.. Shreyas explained me beautifully Bangalore and India history, hinduism, culture, food... so sweet, truly recomend him. He showed soo much of Bangalore. I highly recomend this tour with Unventured.

This was an amazing experience cycling around the base of the Nandi hills! Stopping for fresh mango and coconut water. The temple was beautiful and the railway station, silk factory and pottery business were fascinating! Pooja was an amazing guide and she made this experience very special. Our driver Shivkumer was also great and took care of us on our journey! It was extremely hot but Pooja took care to find shaded stops along the way so we could have water and rest!

If you want to experience the essence of Bengaluru - the sights, the food, the market, the history, the auto rickshaws - this is the tour for you! My friends and I enjoyed the day with our guide, Midhu. She was so welcoming, knowledgable, and professional as she guided us through the city. I have lived in Bengaluru for 3+ years and still learned and saw so many new things on this tour. I also enjoyed what I believe to be the BEST dosa on this tour! And thanks to the team at Unventured, we were able to add a Mango tasting at the end of our day since it is mango season! We enjoyed 14 varieties of mangos and a mango milkshake while learning about the history of this fruit and what it means to India. Thank you Veena and Midhu for arranging an unforgettable day!

It was a great and funny day, Midhu the guide is very intelligent and was wonderful at explaining all the details behind the tour. She was very flexible to change and adapt the tour during the day. Thank you

I had a great day out at Nandi and can't recommend my guide Pooja highly enough...she really made the day for me. She was super helpful and flexible and was very happy to answer my many questions and she chose some great food for breakfast and lunch too - thanks Pooja! Nandi gets very busy at the weekends so if you have a choice, a weekday would be better for this tour.
