Themed Tours
Anyday Anytime custom tours
Stumped with how to engage your overseas visitors, or your office team, in the city? Want to avoid ‘sightseeing’ tours (there’s isn’t much here anyway!).
We understand. Bangalore is not like Delhi or Mumbai or Singapore – where there are several must-sees or must-dos. There’s nothing to do or see here, is there? How on earth do I occupy my visitors here! Feels familiar?
Call us. This is what we do. We create special tours and experiences where none apparently exist. This is a unique city with a unique story that needs telling – otherwise it can seem like a massive construction site, with malls, techparks, cafes and slow-moving traffic. There’s lots to discover, stuff that the guide books and even locals seem to miss.
We
tell the story of Bangalore, and our clients think we
tell it well. So they return for more. (See
client list) Our themed tours are designed
to create respect and appreciation for our city. We
do NOT do sightseeing tours. Try us out. Over 50 companies
have. There are some really big names here. People and
companies who should know. Read
testimonials.
Who is this meant for?
Ideal for foreign visitors, or local teams with mixed nationalities. Works well for locals too.
Why don’t we just send them to Mysore?
Just because there’s a palace there, eh? Sorry, there is simply so much to see and do right here in Bangalore. Of course, we can arrange a themed tour to Mysore too, but we much prefer that this city is first fully enjoyed.

What does it cost?
We
are a specialist provider that aims to create
impact and present a balanced perspective
on Bangalore and India. Our costs are based
on number of people, tour duration, and day
of week. Write to bangalorewalks@gmail.com
with brief details of your requirements, and
we will propose an appropriate themed tour.
So,
what exactly do you show them?
A-ha!
That would be telling. Let’s put it this way
– we know this city inside out and choose
our routes, stories and drives based on what
we think will work. We avoid crowded tourist
spots, minimise commute and remain close to
the hotel/office. We do show some of the major
‘sights’, but do a lot more off the beaten
path.
We
can take charge of everything to make the
experience special – transport, refreshments
and a meal. Or we can work around your schedules,
meal plans and existing transport. We often
convert long commutes (Airport – City Centre,
Hotel – E-City) into interesting tours (we
call them our Traffic Jam Busters).
And
what about logistics?
We are NOT in the business of hiring cars
or booking hotels. We are in the business
of helping people discover, respect and appreciate
Bangalore. We can help arrange all the logistics,
if needed. Send us an email with your requirements,
and we will call you. The earlier the better,
as we make advance tour commitments to our
regular clients.
