Title - Tiger of Mysore

Savytravel112, 26-11-2019

We were picked up from metro station of chikpet and we walked to few fantastic monuments of Tipu Sultan who is pupularly known in India as Tiger of Mysore. We visited his Summer Palace which was made of wood and had beautiful mirror work. We alps saw a very well maintained Fort and armoury where Tipu kept his rockets and other ammunition for this wars with Britain. We also saw a serene temple of Lord Vishnu. Our gudie was warm and friendly and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended

Lovely historical walk

This is a lovely walk about Tipu Sultan , a king who fought the British in many wars. Satish was a great guide who told us about many interesting things about Tipu like how he used rockets in war and is considered to be the first to do so. We also visited a quaint temple also. It had beautiful sculptures. Satish also took us to a local restaurant and we had some popular snack items.

One of the best tour I've been on!

Everything was great. The guide, Satish, was really polite and explained everything well, his english was also really good, and in the end he even gave me directions on how to get to other touristic place. The places we visited were amazing: the botanic garden, the flower market, the fort, the hindu temple and the summer palace of Tipu sultan. I personally loved the Hindu temple.

I would certainly go on another tour like this.

Intriguing and fun tour

Prashant, the guide, was knowledgeable and very passionate about Hindu mythology and Indian culture and history. I personally found the mythology and culture especially interesting. Pick up and drop off went very smoothly and safely. I would definitely recommend this tour.
