What you'll see and do

  1. Tipu Sultan Fort and Palace - Bangalore KR Market

    You will be picked up from your hotel star your sightseeing. Visit the palace of Tipu Sultan, a two-story teakwood palace completed in 1791 by the Sultan as a summer retreat. Adorned with pillars, arches and balconies, it resembles the Daria Daulat Palace in Srirangapatnam. On display in the palace museum are the clothing and crown of Tipu Sultan as well as silver vessels presented by a general to Hyder Ali. Your last stop for the day is the Tudor style Bangalore Palace built by a Wodeyar king in 1887. The architecture of the palace was inspired by Windsor Palace in England. Take a look at the Gothic windows, battlements and turrets. Walk through picturesque gardens leading to the main entrance, and view exquisite floral motifs, cornices and relief paintings that decorate the elegant palace walls and ceilings. Then head to the Palace Gallery to see the historical photos and elegant carvings on display.

  2. Bangalore Palace

    Initially constructed in 1537 by Kempegowda, a vassal of the Vijayanagar Empire and the founder of Bangalore, the fort was rebuilt and expanded by Hyder Ali and his son Tipu Sultan, the King of Mysore, in the 18th century. Visit the fort with your guide and hear anecdotes about its historical role in the Sultan’s resistance to British rule. Admire the Islamic style of the intricately carved arches, and visit the well-preserved 16th-century Ganapathi Temple within its courtyard, where Hindu devotees pay homage to Lord Ganesha. Once your tour will be finished you will be driven back to your hotel.

Private Tour: Palaces Of Bangalore: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangalore.

How much does Private Tour: Palaces Of Bangalore cost?

+

Prices start at $80 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 Private Tour: Palaces Of Bangalore take?

+

Plan for about 5 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 Private Tour: Palaces Of Bangalore worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Private Tour: Palaces Of Bangalore?

+

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 Private Tour: Palaces Of Bangalore suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Palaces Of Bangalore?

+

Around 0 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Private Tour: Palaces Of Bangalore 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 Old to New Bangalore Day Tour: Lalbagh, Temple, Market & Palace, Bangalore city tour with English guide & multi language support, 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.
