Kempe Gowda, the founder of Bangalore, got the Bull temple built during his time. This temple counts amongst the oldest temples of the city and draws devotees from all over the country. There is huge idol of Nandi Bull inside the temple, measuring 4.5 m in height and 6.5 m in length. This idol is said to have been carved out of a single rock.

Amazing Personalized Experience
Great personalized experience with Vignesh! Communication on pickup was clear and on time. Vignesh shared a diversity of information along the way between locations and of course at each stop. Relaxed and very proud of his city. Transportation was door to door at all stops. Highly recommend!

An Incredible Experience – Highly Recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had an amazing experience exploring Bengaluru with my tour guide, Divakar! He was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the history, religion, and traditions behind everything we visited. We explored beautiful temples, Bengaluru Palace, and even made a special trip out of our way to see the incredible banyan tree. One of my favorite experiences was meeting local farmers and learning the entire silk-making process, from what silkworms eat to how they create their cocoons. We also met wonderful locals who were so welcoming and even invited us to share tea with them! Divakar seemed to know everyone, which made the experience feel so much more personal and authentic. As a female traveling alone, I never once felt unsafe or uncomfortable, which meant a lot to me. I cannot recommend this tour company and Divakar enough! If you’re visiting Bengaluru, especially as a solo female traveler, this is a fantastic way to experience the culture, history, and people of India. Truly a memorable experience!

Bangalore city tour with English guide & multi language support: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangalore.
How much does Bangalore city tour with English guide & multi language support cost?
+
Prices start at $95 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bangalore usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bangalore city tour with English guide & multi language support take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bangalore is not rushed.
Is Bangalore city tour with English guide & multi language support worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 315 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Bangalore, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bangalore city tour with English guide & multi language support?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bangalore city tour with English guide & multi language support suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bangalore city tour with English guide & multi language support?
+
Around 110 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bangalore can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bangalore and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bangalore city tour with English guide & multi language support start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bangalore within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bangalore?
+
On Outty we rank every Bangalore experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mysore tour from Bangalore by tourism ministry approved company, Bangalore Through the Ages: Lalbagh, Temple & Market City Tour, Best of Mysore, UNESCO Somnathpur Temple & Srirangapatna Day Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bangalore?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bangalore?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
