I had a weekend free after conference in Bangalore. I signed up for the wildlife tour at Bandipur and Mysore. This was a great way to spend the 2 days exploring the rich wildlife as well as cultural heritage of the erstwhile Kingdom of Mysore. Anyone who has 2 days in Bangalore should do this. It's a great way to spend the weekend.

Amazing temple and other structures going back to the 6th century in beautiful settings. Architectural wonders in Hampi,Aihole, Pattadakal and Badami. Unbelievable cave temples cut into rocks in Badami. See architectures influencing Angkor Wat right here in Karnataka. A must-visit tour (- plan for three days and use guides) for anybody interested in history and temple architectures.

I had a great tour with Mayuri on the Filter Kaapi walk! We explored Malleswaram, trying local foods and coffee and walking through nearby markets and temples. I had a wonderful time and highly recommend this tour!

Had a great time and saw parts of the city we never would have if we were on our own. Diwakar was a great guide, very knowledgeable and accommodating with our schedule requests. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience and learnt a lot from Vignesh walking through the Bangalore markets and then stuffing ourselves with street food, which was outstanding! Make sure you do this when in Bangalore!

The trip was so good as the climate was conducive and we decided to climb the fort early morning. The guide knows all the information about the fort and minutely was explaining the details about the fort. The story of the brave lady of Chitradurga was inspiring and it is proud to see that woman folk were empowered then. Different kinds of birds in the fort were treat to eyes. The winds at the top of the hill where Hidambeshwar temple is situated, is an experience of life. The festival that is conducted during holy celebration explained by the guide was happening in front of me. I could feel that I was participating in the festival.

An amazing city unearthed. One could imagine the wealthy life of then kingdom and it's great administration by seeing the remains. Also a city of temples as we see many temples built during Vijaya Nagar Empire wherever we turned. The boulders around the city gives a unique flavour to the place. The giant sculptures of Gods are not seen before in another place. Should have been promoted by the Government very well considering its importance. River Thungabadra flows adjoining happily making the place lush green. A memorable place and must visit in one life time

Chitradurga fort is a marvelous creation. It is such an underrated place. I didn't know much abt the same until I stepped in. We had our guide who literally took us through the experience of the fort explaining the architecture, the famous stry behind the fort, and the breathtaking views all around the place. It was like a time travel experience. Also it was great to see the world famous monkey Raja defying gravity with his climbing skills. Too anyone exploring Karnataka. I would definitely say this is a must vist. Thanks to 5 senses for this memorable experience

I would like to thank 5 senses tours for this memorable experience to Hampi. Where do I start,the journey from banglore to Hampi via car was something that I was grumpy about but as the journey started I was so elated to see beautiful sunflower, kambu farms to my left and right and picturesque windmill on the mountains which looked straight out of a movie set. Coming to Hampi , we met our guide Mr. Rajesh who was soo knowledgeable and passionate about his wrk and loaded us with all the history and significance of this magnificent place. Some of my favourites where the Virupaksha temple , the elephants resting place, the queen's palace watch towers. Felt like I was walking through the sets of the movie Ayirathil Oruvan. Also the lunch which was arranged for us in a local home was the cherry on the top of this overall experience. People here were soo warm and kind felt completely safe travelling with my mom. Big thanks to Mr.Sathish for taking care with any of our concerns being the best photographer knowing the best angles and giving us all inputs about the local place cuisine and suggesting the best food joints . Our driver Mr. Murthy was an amazing always recieved us with a smile on his face. I would definitely suggest everyone to avail 5 senses tours for this beautiful experience.

Vignesh was an excellent guide. Good knowledge of history and other insights, very capable at navigating our group of expats through crowds, and fun to talk to. He was courteous and professional. Highly recommend

We arrived early morning in Bangalore on a Sunday and decided to make use of our day in Bangalore exploring the sites. Supritha was our tour guide and was flexible to allow us a later start time to allow us to sleep for a few ours. She did a great job of showing us around at our pace and giving us choices along the way. We were thankful for opportunity to see the local culture and spirit of Bangalore!

Vignesh was knowledgeable and taught me quite a bit about Indian history and culture. The Lalbaugh gardens were amazing. Vignesh also taught me the proper way to eat Idli and Sanbar! I toured on a Thursday and one of the temples was quite active with worshippers. I had not witnessed a Hindu ceremony like the one I saw and it was very enlightening.

Experiencing the vast complex of KR Market on a Friday evening was just incredible . We started in pouring monsoon rain but my guide, Divakar came prepared and navigated us through the various sections with ease. The flower market (indoors ) was a joy to behold- heady scents and colours with vendors laughing and chatting as they threaded their flowers. We then made our way to food street and thankfully the rain stayed away. This was such a happy experience for a foodie like me. Divakar introduced me to all the local delicious foods and I only wish I could have tried more but I was just so full after about 7 dishes. The atmosphere is fun and lighthearted as the vendors call out and families and friends stand on the street chatting and eating. Wonderful evening in the city, thank you to 5 senses and Divakar !

What a fantastic trip! As a solo female traveler, my driver Mohan made me feel comfortable and safe my entire day. My guides at both locations were fantastic, but my guide at the UNESCO Site was second-to-none. Her knowledge was impeccable. She took her time explaining every aspect of the temple to me. I cannot recommend this trip enough!

The places were amazing. So were the services. It was lush green and beautiful at this time. The company assigned us with Diwakarji who was very kind and knowledgeable. He took us on tour of this ancient 7th century temple. We had a wonderful day and are grateful.
