Akshay guided me around the core of historical Bangalore, offering rich descriptions and interpretations as we went from site to site on foot. We started at Tippu Sultan’s palace, visited a former armory, explored the Bangalore Fort, and admirered the adjacent hospital. Since we were moving quickly he had time to lead me on an unplanned excursion through the vibrant and highly authentic Indian experience of K. R. Market, which I definitely recommend. Thanks Akshay!

This walk is super awesome. Mr Ali is very knowledgeable and takes immense interest personally to explain the heritage and safeguarding the same. He is an architect by training so the experience becomes much more interesting. I highly recommend his guidance if one wants to explore Bangalore.
