Well Planned Tour Designed for Perfect Story Telling - This tour was definitely worthwhile. KR market is a vibrant and bustling place, even more so for me since I took the tour on a Sunday which as I've been told is significantly more crowded than other days. I will admit, it might not be a type of crowd for everyone. I also enjoyed how Vignesh was able to share a glimpse of Tipu Sultan's life in a way that even a foreigner can easily appreciate. My guide's knowledge of the local history was fascinating, and the stops along the way felt designed to build up on the story of Tipu Sultan's life. Overall the tour was great.

Title - Tiger of Mysore - We were picked up from metro station of chikpet and we walked to few fantastic monuments of Tipu Sultan who is pupularly known in India as Tiger of Mysore. We visited his Summer Palace which was made of wood and had beautiful mirror work. We alps saw a very well maintained Fort and armoury where Tipu kept his rockets and other ammunition for this wars with Britain. We also saw a serene temple of Lord Vishnu. Our gudie was warm and friendly and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended

Lovely historical walk - This is a lovely walk about Tipu Sultan , a king who fought the British in many wars. Satish was a great guide who told us about many interesting things about Tipu like how he used rockets in war and is considered to be the first to do so. We also visited a quaint temple also. It had beautiful sculptures. Satish also took us to a local restaurant and we had some popular snack items.

One of the best tour I've been on! - Everything was great. The guide, Satish, was really polite and explained everything well, his english was also really good, and in the end he even gave me directions on how to get to other touristic place. The places we visited were amazing: the botanic garden, the flower market, the fort, the hindu temple and the summer palace of Tipu sultan. I personally loved the Hindu temple. I would certainly go on another tour like this.
