9.Mysore: 2-Day Palace and Gardens Tour from Bangalore

★★★★★★★★★★3.3 · 3 reviews · from $225

Travel by private car from Bangalore to Mysore with an English-speaking guide, visiting Srirangapatnam, Tipu Sultan’s summer palace and tomb, Mysore Palace, Chamundeshwari Temple, Saint Philomena’s Church, and Vrindavan Gardens. Guide Thomas is noted for clear explanations and flexibility. A hotel night is included.

“Thomas (my guide) was great and Mr Valli (my driver) was also good. Great to be able to leave my luggage in the car and not have to worry. I was the only one who booked in, so ended up with a private tour. Just be aware that it is not five star. The car was the normal beaten up Toyota’s that every taxi driver drives. Hotel was four stars as described. But Thomas was great at explaining the history behind everything and answering all of my questions which meant I got a lot out of the tour and enjoyed a deeper level of understanding. I would recommend!”
