I have an unbridled passion for the city, especially it's historical significance of various places worth a mention. I'm well-versed in English and can get down to explaining a detailed understanding of events that actually went down at these spots. I can assure great company and a fun time :) ********* See the remains of an old Bangalore Fort that has passed through multiple hands.. an abandoned armoury. Delve into the cultural side by seeing a 300 year old temple with its intricate architecture. Take a look at some fine examples of South Indian architecture of an imposing, majestic Legislative building & the High Court. And finally, the Bangalore Palace which belonged to the Wodeyar dynasty **********

A well designed tour
We found travelling around Bangalore on our own quite overwhelming. Touring the city with Sherwin was so much better. He was friendly and informative and it really did help to see the chaos and beauty of Bengaluru through his eyes. Recommended

Perfet 4-hr. Tour!!
Absolutely the best way to see some of the highlights of the real Bangalore...away from the "usual". Sherwin is knowledgeable and uber friendly to hang out - we had a blast! Best use of 4 hrs. ever...thanks Sherwin!
via Tripadvisor
Great half day tour of Bengaluru
Sherwin was a great guide- not only did I learn about some history of Bengaluru but also the culture. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone coming to the city! I only had one day to sightsee and was really glad I booked this tour.

Great guide, chill time
Sherwin was an amazing guide, the experience was very chill and down to earth. Great way to spend a morning-early afternoon.

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
See Bangalore through my eyes (Cultural / Historical / Walking Tour): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangalore.
How much does See Bangalore through my eyes (Cultural / Historical / Walking Tour) cost?
+
Prices start at $50 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 See Bangalore through my eyes (Cultural / Historical / Walking Tour) take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 See Bangalore through my eyes (Cultural / Historical / Walking Tour) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 61 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 See Bangalore through my eyes (Cultural / Historical / Walking Tour)?
+
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 See Bangalore through my eyes (Cultural / Historical / Walking Tour) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book See Bangalore through my eyes (Cultural / Historical / Walking Tour)?
+
Around 21 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does See Bangalore through my eyes (Cultural / Historical / Walking Tour) 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.
What is included in See Bangalore through my eyes (Cultural / Historical / Walking Tour)?

+
