Overview

One often forgets dates and names, but never a good story! This tour will take you back in time through its stories, and anecdotes that one would miss otherwise. It's a combination of a walking tour and Street food tour. Starting from the Big Ben of Mysore- Doddagadiyara or the big clock tower in front of the Mysuru Townhall, walk past the palace gates and then to the Devaraja Market, a century-old market where local produce is sold. Get a locals perspective of what the market means and entails. Visit a local perfume maker and get to photograph friendly faces of the vendors. Post the market, the tour takes you through small alleyways and hole in the wall places which only the locals know about where you will get to try safe street food (No Delhi belly, I promise) End the walk with the best Mysore masala Dosa and tips on planning your next few days of vacation in India. Or shoot ANY questions about life in India, culture, religion, etc. Good stories, visuals, & amazing food await

Not to be missed

Published on Mar, 2025

We joined Fez’s walking and food evening tour. He told us about Mysore history in an engaging, fun and very knowledgable way with lots of story telling in better English than us. A magical mystery tour of history, flower and vegetable markets before a foodie night out at his favourite haunts. We had some of the best food of our 3 week trip with surprises and stories of the food preparation and culture behind it. Not to be missed. We also asked Fez to be our guide for the next day. He took us to Tippu Sultan’s summer palace, a funeral spot on the river and Mysore Palace. Again, his history and knowledge is second to none and he kept us clinging to every word for four hours. His enthusiasm and story telling is second to none and we learnt so much. His patience, knowledge, personality and professionalism is a delight. We feel so lucky to have found him as our guide. Thank you Fez, you made our time in Mysore so special.

Mysore Highlight!

Published on Feb, 2025

This was my highlight of visiting Mysore! Travelling solo I wanted to take a break from using my brain to find all of the good spots, and lucky I did because I would not have gotten to taste and see all that I did if organising myself! Fez is lovely, super knowledgeable (across seemingly everything), funny, and his English is just about better than mine. The time on the tour flew by and he gave me a bunch of recommendations for further exploring. Definitely eat an early lunch (if any); everything was delicious. I had such a great experience and highly recommend to travellers of all kinds!

A wonderful walking tour - not to be missed

Published on Jan, 2025

If, like us, you love to learn about the history of a city and also share some of its daily activities and unseen places with a knowledgeable, personable and companionable guide then look no further: this is most definitely the Mysuru tour for you. Fez is a brilliantly intelligent and good-humoured guide, with a deep knowledge of the history of the city, its religious practices and its busy streets. He shares this with a well-judged level of playfulness and interaction as well as deep respect for the city. His pre-tour communication is excellent - and recommendations he suggested for us for further exploration were sent promptly after the tour, with additional prompts about Indian cinema, another passion of his. The street food element was a joy; believe Fez when he suggests you will not need supper afterwards. We would not have experienced this aspect of the city without him. We have taken many guided tours over the years, and I am a tour guide in our home city in the UK, this was an example of 'what a good one looks like' in every respect. Perfect length; perfect content and pitched perfectly to engage all the participants. Absolutely recommended.

Fez. A gentleman and a scholar!

Published on Jan, 2025

I am genuinely gobsmacked as to how good this walking tour was! A first timers to India we thought a bit of local guidance to some area could be nice. We were expecting a quick whistle-stop tour around a few points of interest but what we got was so much more than that. Our tour guide Fez was not only an incredibly personable guy, but was also an encyclopedia of facts. There never felt like there was a dull moment. If you happen to be in Mysore I not only recommend this tour, but I also think it is worth going out of your way to ensure you do not miss it. Highlight of my trip!

If you need another reason to visit Mysore this tour is it.

I almost booked a tour with another company before coming across the multiple positive reviews for Fez. I spoke with Fez prior to booking and was very happy with the experience I had and would definitely recommend it to others. I’d highly recommend anyone visiting or living in Mysore to do this tour. Or make this your reason to visit Mysore! Fez was so passionate and knowledgeable about all things Mysore and India, including its history and religions, that I booked a full day tour with him the following day. You can be assured he’s professional, on time and a very good communicator. Everything ran smoothly and I thoroughly enjoyed both of the travel experiences Fez provided me with.
