    Not private, not all spots seen, charged intransparent extra fee

    Hi, I booked a private Tour in Bangalore on a short notice of two days, they accepted which I appreciate. Pick up from hotel which I entered during booking should be included. On the day of the tour I got a message "1000 extra for pickup. please confirm to continue". I accepted because of F_CK Y_U EAT MY MONEY and the tour started on time. They know if I got this message 1 or 2 days in advace I would cancel. It should be a PRIVATE tour but on the first stop I got accompanied by 3! (very friendly) other tourists who booked the same tour also as private tour. We skipped the first sightseeing spot Cubbon Park (which was on the list). Second was done, third was an unanounced stop at a souvenir shop. No one of the group was interested in shopping. Tour continued, we skipped another spot on the list and despite asking for 1000 extra they now tried to get 1200 extra. The driver was very nice and seemed to be not informed about anything. The guide was friendly, had some knowledge about bangalore and indian history (which he repeated many times so pretend to have a lot of knowledge) but beeing so greedy is disgusting and leavs a bad taste to this tour. In de end we could not make all sightseeing items in the list and they tried to do a second souvenir stop instead which I could avoid. Request for a refund of 20% because of not private tour, not all stops seen and not mentioned extra cost for pickup seems to be fair but was declined by viator, so please be choose wisely

    Good Tour and guide

    This was an enjoyable private city tour in an air conditioned car . Our guide was Ramesh and he was very knowledgeable on the city. We were able to catch all the highlights of the city in this tour.

    Touristic Highlights of Bangalore

    I recently took the Touristic Highlights of Bangalore tour and it was an amazing experience! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us to understand the city and its rich history like a local. The food tasting was a wonderful addition, as we got to sample some of the best local delicacies. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bangalore, as it truly gives you an authentic and memorable experience of the city. 5 stars!

    Touristic Highlights of Bangalore (Guided Sightseeing Tour with Food Tasting): questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Touristic Highlights of Bangalore (Guided Sightseeing Tour with Food Tasting) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $118 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 Touristic Highlights of Bangalore (Guided Sightseeing Tour with Food Tasting) take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Touristic Highlights of Bangalore (Guided Sightseeing Tour with Food Tasting) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 3 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 Touristic Highlights of Bangalore (Guided Sightseeing Tour with Food Tasting)?

    +

    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 Touristic Highlights of Bangalore (Guided Sightseeing Tour with Food Tasting) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Touristic Highlights of Bangalore (Guided Sightseeing Tour with Food Tasting)?

    +

    Around 1 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Touristic Highlights of Bangalore (Guided Sightseeing Tour with Food Tasting) 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.
