Local taxi
Bangalore Sightseeing Cab
A Bangalore sightseeing cab gives you one car and one driver for the whole day, so you can move between gardens, palaces and temples without bargaining for rides or reading bus boards. Plan the stops, tell the driver, and travel at your own pace.
How it works
A city tour in your own car with driver
Our city sightseeing trips run on the local package: 8 hours and 80 km, starting from your hotel, home or office in Bengaluru. The car stays with you for the whole slot, which means bags, water bottles and shopping can stay inside while you walk around.
This works well for first-time visitors, families with elders, business travellers with a free afternoon and groups of friends who would rather not split into several autos. If your plan is lighter, you can simply use fewer hours; if you want to stretch the day, extra time and distance are billed as shown in the rate table below.
Places to cover
Popular stops on a Bangalore sightseeing trip
- Lalbagh Botanical Garden, known for its glass house and old trees.
- Cubbon Park, a large green space in the middle of the city, close to Vidhana Soudha and the High Court.
- Bangalore Palace, a Tudor-style royal residence.
- Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace, the wooden palace near the old city market.
- Bull Temple in Basavanagudi, with its large Nandi.
- ISKCON Temple in Rajajinagar, a modern temple complex.
- Commercial Street, MG Road and Brigade Road for shopping and food.
Check opening days and timings of each place before you set out, as museums and palaces keep their own schedules. Our Bangalore sightseeing places guide helps you shortlist.
Plan your day
Putting a sensible day together
Group stops by area rather than by fame. Lalbagh, Bull Temple and the old city sights sit in the south of the city, while Bangalore Palace and ISKCON are on the north-western side. Cubbon Park and MG Road pair naturally in the centre.
Start early. Parks and temples are more pleasant in the morning, and the city’s traffic builds up through the afternoon. Keep shopping streets for the evening when there is no hurry. Tell us your pickup address and the places you want to see when you book, and we will suggest a workable order.
If you want a longer or more flexible slot, look at full day car rental, or browse the other options under local taxi in Bangalore.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How much time does a Bangalore sightseeing trip need?
Most visitors cover four to six stops in the 8 hour package. Gardens and palaces take longer than temples, so choose fewer places if you like to walk around slowly.
Can I pick my own list of places?
Yes. You decide the stops and the order. Share the list when you book and the driver will plan the route around it, adjusting for traffic on the day.
Is this a fixed tour with a guide?
No. It is a car with driver on a local package, not a guided group tour. The driver knows the roads and the city, but entry tickets and any guide at a monument are your own arrangement.
Which vehicle should I take for a family of five?
An Innova, Innova Crysta or Innova Hycross is the practical choice for a larger family. For two to four people, a Dzire, Etios or Ciaz is enough. See Innova car rental for details.
Are tolls and parking included?
No. Parking at attractions and any tolls are extra. The package rate includes GST, and the driver allowance is shown in the rate table.
Can I book Bangalore sightseeing cabs for a half day?
The standard package is 8 hours and 80 km. If you finish early you simply end the trip sooner. Call 99640 09999 to discuss your plan.
