Overview

I have an unbridled passion for the city, especially it's historical significance of various places worth a mention. I'm well-versed in English and can get down to explaining a detailed understanding of events that actually went down at these spots. I can assure great company, awesome music and a fun time :)
********* See the remains of an old Bangalore Fort, the abandoned armoury and the summer house of the former great Mysore ruler - Tipu Sultan. Delve into the cultural side by seeing a 300 year old temple with its intricate architecture. See the lush green spaces of a park unparalled by no other built during the British Raj. Explore the various statues and memorials situated here. Take a look at some fine examples of South Indian architecture of an imposing, majestic Legislative building & the High Court. Check out what a cantonment church looked like from back in the day of the British rule. And finally, the Bangalore Palace which belonged to the Wodeyar dynasty **********

A great guide. Very easy to talk to. We chatted about our history and culture. I got an insight into 400 years of history and modern India as well. I certainly recommend Serwin's tour.
Well worth it!

This is a really well run tour and Sherwin does a great job. The time allocated to each landmark is perfect and Sherwin goes to great lengths to explain the history in an engaging way.
He's affable and very easy to talk to and also gives you great local tips for food!
An excellent day in Bangalore!

Sherwin was an amazing tour guide. I really enjoyed this day tour of bangalore. I was on a work trip and only had a day to explore and glad we ended up choosing Sherwin. He did not rush us at any place and was very knowledgeable! My friend and I felt very comfortable and safe with him as well! My favorite part was old bangalore. We even took a quick detour and explored a temple right next door to the Tipu Sultan's summer palace and it was a cool experience! Anyways, if you are thinking about taking this tour, I say do it! I would highly recommend to any of my friends who happen to be stopping in Bangalore.
