Walking tour in Bengaluru

Recommended. Knowledgeable, friendly guide. Time went very quickly - always a good sign. I am mostly interested in photography and Mansoor tailored the walk to suit. Just what I was looking for.
Temples and silk factories

The 3 hour Saturday morning walk was led by Mr. Ali who knows the area and history from his personal background. Aside of the neighborhood temples the highlights were the silk washery and small weaving factory. These are locations down small alleys I would never have found alone. The hard working conditions - the noise and the heat - gave me new respect for the labor that goes into any beautiful sari we may find in a store.
I am in for another tour next Saturday!

My introduction into some ways of life of Old Bangalore with help of Mansoor Ali was really enjoyable. Mansoor is a great host and knowledgeable story teller who will go above and beyond to make everything adventurous. Highly recommended tour.

Outstanding walking tour of old town Bangalore for just my mom and myself. Mr. Ali was an entertaining, informative, and thoughtful guide. We loved all of his personal touches and ability to make the tour what we wanted (3 different stops for chai tea)! We highly recommend this tour!

My guide Daniel picked me up in time and thanks to his gentle friendly guidance I got to know many places in Old Bangalore. His informations have been very interesting. He took me safe with his 2 wheeler from place to place and took care also of my special interests. Thanks for the 3 hours which have been a unique experience!
