At Gully Tours, our walks are about more than checking off sights — they're about stepping into a community. Led by people from diverse careers and backgrounds, each walk unfolds through hidden corners, local legends, and real stories from the streets themselves. Explore like a local, connect with fellow curious minds, and discover the city as it's truly lived.
Back in 2008 while working in Singapore, I realised that Singapore as a city country gets more tourists than the whole of India. I went on a chance walking tour with Singapore Walks and the experience. This inspired me to start walking tours back in Mysore in 2009.
When we travel to Europe or South East Asia we are enamoured by the travel experience, that is largely because the person who guides you is as well read and well travelled as you are. Which was not the case in India.
Over the years more than a 100 storytellers have passionately carried this tradition forward. We look at the city not just for exploration and fun but a way to engage and learn from!
