Fun day touring
This tour was time well spent. My tour guide Shiva was very nice and knowledgeable. My favorite part was him explaining me the art works at the summer palace. He also knows everyone at the palace and we got to skip the lines.I also need to say my driver who was also named Shiva was good and I felt safe the whole time.

A day in Mysore
This was a very interesting experience. Definitely worth it. Price was reasonable. The car was fine. My guide was Shiv and he was telling me many interesting things about what we see and was happy to accommodate my requests. Mysore palace definitely a must see. Banana leaf lunch is interesting experience, definitely not something I would try just by myself. I think this tour works best for a small party of friends or a family. I would have more fun if I had a bit of company. Some things were not ideal, this is why 4 stars. I think St. Philomena church is a bit of a waste. It’s relatively modern and uninteresting building. Although it maybe unusual for local tourists but any average European church beats this one by a wide margin. For me seeing any Hindu temple would be more valuable. Places were they take you to shop feel a bit as tourist traps. Goods were fine but I feel like I paid tourist tax.

Overall good trip with some misses
Overall this trip was fine but there were a couple of missteps. The positives: We hit all the main points Tippu Summer Home, Palace, Church, and Devraja market (my favorite). We also stopped into a local silk shop. The misses: -We were supposed to leave at 7:30. No communication they would be late until I reached out. Then it seemed like they scrambled to find a driver and did not leave until 8;15am. Shuffled between two cars in Bangalore. In the end the full driver was great. Very good overall driver. - the guide had lots of facts. Knew the places. English was easy to understand but some words made no sense and there was little two way dialog. In some cases I would ask a question and the answer did not go with the question. - we were supposed to do a banana leaf lunch but ended going to a much cheaper and local place. Not sure if they thought I would not notice. I did.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re glad you enjoyed visiting the key sights and appreciated the driver’s professionalism. We regret the delay in departure, the limited dialogue with the guide, and the change in lunch arrangements. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’re taking steps to improve communication, guide interaction, and consistency in promised inclusions. We hope to welcome you again for a smoother, more authentic experience.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Bengaluru: Guided Mysuru Day Tour with pick up and drop-off: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangalore.
How much does From Bengaluru: Guided Mysuru Day Tour with pick up and drop-off cost?
+
Prices start at $103 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 From Bengaluru: Guided Mysuru Day Tour with pick up and drop-off take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 From Bengaluru: Guided Mysuru Day Tour with pick up and drop-off worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 87 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bangalore, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Bengaluru: Guided Mysuru Day Tour with pick up and drop-off?
+
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 From Bengaluru: Guided Mysuru Day Tour with pick up and drop-off suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Bengaluru: Guided Mysuru Day Tour with pick up and drop-off?
+
Around 30 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Bengaluru: Guided Mysuru Day Tour with pick up and drop-off 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 Bangalore city tour with English guide & multi language support, Mysore tour from Bangalore by tourism ministry approved company, Bangalore Through the Ages: Lalbagh, Temple & Market City 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.
