Summary: I was so impressed by this tour. My guide was knowledgable and I really enjoyed the whole day. What was best were the experiences that I definitely would not have found on my own. We got off the beaten path and took in all that Mysore had to offer, Thank you!

Summary: Midhu was a standout guide. The tour to Mysore was one of the best tours I have had. It was packed with amazing things and still felt leisurely. One of the reasons I chose this tour was because it involves a few stops I didn't see on other Mysore daytrips - namely the Channapatna toy makers and the silk pellets+factories. Those ended up being my favorite experiences! Midhu did a great job of giving us enough information to keep us interested and in wonderment, without inundating us with too much. She was able to answer to our curiosities very well, and was great company through the day. The entry tickets, meals, and drive were handled very smoothly and we did not have to worry about much! Grateful for this day!

Summary: Had an excellent day - Gladys was the perfect tour guide for a day trip to Mysore. Having her guide me allowed me to feel comfortable as a female solo traveler in a new place, and she fit so much more in a single day than I would have been able to plan on my own. I learned so much at each stop while still having time to explore and ask my own questions. Thanks for a fantastic day!
