Summary

After a central hotel pickup, travel by private, air-conditioned vehicle to meet your guide. Hop out, and, after introductions, get an overview of Bengaluru’s history and its modern-day role leading India’s high-tech revolution. Then, set off to discover the city’s historical highlights as you hear about its past glories. As you walk, enjoy the vibrant atmosphere and feel ever more like a local as you gain a deeper understanding of the city.
