We are eager to show you a side of our city that is not often mentioned in the guide book but holds a special place for us locals. The heart of our city Bengaluru lies in its markets, locally called “Pete”. Around this epicentre are a magnificent palace, a beautiful temple and small units of silk weavers, goldsmiths, artisans and some delightful quaint hole in the wall cafe. Our walk through this region will connect the dots between all of the spaces you will visit transporting you seamlessly between the then and now of Bengaluru.
This is a guided experience and includes a hearty brunch.
Note: Some of the tour attractions cannot be experienced on Sundays as they would be closed. Alternatively, we will replace the visit to the silk weaving and Jewellery unit with a walk about the jewellery market and the fine fabric market.

The historical descriptions of the palace, fort and market are nice, but what I most enjoyed was getting into the neighborhoods and streets where normal people live and work. The high point was lunch at LNR. The guide, Sneha, was very outgoing and eager to talk about the neighborhoods and life in general in Bangalore. This tour is a "must do" for anyone visiting Bangalore for the first time and doesn't know where to start in getting to understand the city.

Abhishek was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable about the different spots and enthusiastic. The pace of the tour was perfect and definitely a good one to do if you are short on time. Highlight was the KR flower market and coffee at LNR.
