They were able to craft a nice overview of Indian history, in connection with the local sites visited - additionally connecting it to the modern day implications in India culture.

I was very excited about the local tour. First of all, Tej, a brilliant tour guide, fulfilled my curiosity. I felt lucky to encounter her. About a route, walking KR flower market was really really fun. And I could understand Indian history and religion by visiting the temple and palace. Furthermore, I could enjoy delicious foods such as Masala dosa and Roti at a wonderful local restaurant. I strongly recommend you to participate in this tour. I ensure wonderful experiences.The Pete walk was a fantastic experience. I've been in Bangalore for over six years and had no idea there was so much to see.

The Pete walk was a fantastic experience. I've been in Bangalore for over six years and had no idea there was so much to see. The hosts/guides were polite and very engaging. They gave us little titbits of information from history that put context to where we were and what we were looking at. The walk was authentic in every element, walking through the little streets, people all around, cows from time to time and of course traffic cops yelling at vehicle owners. It was half a day well spent and half a day of valuable information gathered. I strongly recommend this walk for anyone who wants to look at Bangalore from a local's perspective. Thank you Team Unventured :DThe pete walk showed us the different lifestyle of Bangalore. We started with the temple and then headed for Tipu palace followed by Kr market which was filled with colourful flowers and what not. They explained it really well and kept it interesting!!!!

Guru was an amazing guide! I went on this tour with my two girl friends and we had a blast! We started with a bit of history and then went to the market. Guru would buy fruits here and there for us to try that we wouldn't have tried otherwise. One of the coolest parts was when we went into the flower-market, and we had someone do our hair and put a jasmine flower buds in our hair (hard to explain). AND THEN, we went to a place, in a random alley way, that honestly has the BEST DOSA i've EVER had. EVER.. A pretty unforgettable experience. We then visited the temples, and got a really good history about hindu/hinduism. Highly recommend, i'd come back and do this tour again!
