Bangalore City Tour: Lalbagh, Bull Temple & Tipu PalaceThis full-day Bangalore city tour with a licensed English-speaking guide covers five major landmarks—Lalbagh Botanical Gardens, Bull Temple, Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace, KR Market and Vidhana Soudha—with entrance fees and an air-conditioned vehicle included. You can book guide service alone or add transport and a vegetarian South Indian lunch; the tour runs 7 to 8 hours. The Bangalore Palace is closed Mondays and may be replaced by St. Mary's Basilica on those days.Is it for me?Choose the guide-only option if you're arranging your own transport or prefer to move at your own pace between stops. Pick the transport-and-lunch option if you want the whole day coordinated—pickup, vehicle, timing and a meal all settled before you arrive, so the five stops hold together without you managing the logistics.
