the it city – bangalore in a day
Go on a journey with our Culture Ambassador, an excursion with conversations and sensitivity to your (possibly) changing moods, interests and curiosities. Our off the beaten path tours take you beyond the guidebook to give you access to experiences like home dining with a local family, an up close and personal view into the lifestyle of the locals providing you with a first-hand experience of well preserved but hard to stumble upon subcultures in a city of ten million. Customise your experience – from a half day, to a full day, with history, culture, shopping, bar hopping, religion, tours for kids we have it all for you. Just drop in a mail with what you want to see and leave the rest to us.
