Perfect day with Shiva

October 14, 2025

We had an excellent one-day guided tour to Mysore. Our guide, Mr. Shiva, was exceptionally attentive to our needs and proved to be a true treasure of knowledge, providing insightful information throughout the day. He also took us to a traditional local restaurant, where we enjoyed an authentic meal. The driver, also named Mr. Shiva, demonstrated outstanding driving skills and ensured a comfortable and safe journey. Overall, the tour was perfectly organized and highly enjoyable. We strongly recommend this experience.
