Summary: Unhurried helpfully organised a tour for me at very short notice and I’m so happy they did. My guide, Poornima, had grown up in this part of Bengaluru and knew it inside out. But not only was she full of stories of that neighbourhood, she was able to explain a lot about the history of the area and city generally - architecture, archeology and religion. We had a wonderful gentle morning strolling around the neighbourhood and sampling wonderful snacks including best idli ever. I could not think of a better way to spend a morning in Bengaluru. Thanks so much!

Summary: Vidya was a great guide! She probably knows everything there is to know about the area - both historical and current developments. With her open-minded and friendly manner, she shares her knowledge with you, showing you the temples and other interesting buildings and streets, including a snack break. At the end, you feel like you've learnt a lot while chatting with a friend. Definitely recommended!
