Summary:
An absolutely brilliant tour! Full of information, interesting facts and the most amazing breakfast stop! The right amount of time at each place, and our guide Arun was great, I had mentioned that I wanted to buy some spices so he made sure that when we were at the market he took me to some spice stands so I could get what I wanted. I would absolutely recommend this tour as a great way to get a feel for Mysore and its history.

Summary:
Sneaking out for a quick weekend during the Corona disruption, we wanted to leisurely explore Mysuru. And it was great to find Unventured. We were not sure if tours were on, and it was great that they made tour happen at short notice. Listening to stories and legends of one of the more progressive princely state was great for us & kids alike. Shruti being local and one of us, was easy to connect to. It's a conversation rather than typical monologues by tour guides. And we discovered not only the history but Contemporary Mysuru, with stories of modern professionals reverse migrating to Mysuru to setup niche businesses, couple of which we visited. Great connect, Great experience. Let there be more tours like this all over India and hoping to join one of their cycle tours exploring outside soon.
