"This was the most amazing trip I have ever been on! Hampi is a terrific place with fascinating history, striking natural scenery and rich mythological heritage. Thanks to Explore Hampi, I was able to immerse myself fully in all of that. Every bit of their arrangements was carefully done to ensure my comfort and engagement."

"I spent 3 days exploring Hampi with Arjun and Basava and it really is the best way to get to really know and understand this beautiful, but expansive, site in India. With their insightful guiding the layers of history of Hampi were slowly revealed. I loved the coracle ride on the river, and wish I had a longer journey on the river. A definite highlight for me was the day we explored the surrounding countryside by scooter - the countryside around Hampi is so beautiful, and traffic-free. We had a cooking experience in a local home which was then our delicious lunch."

"We were with four medical students who did the Heritage, Cultural (you visit local people and eat really good food) and Mythical tour (driving through the beautiful landscapes in Hampi) in 3 days and I would recommend this tour to everybody who is interested in history. The ancient ruins speaks to the imagination. Our guides knowledge about history and architecture was not only really good but he also adapted to our schedule"

"My wife and I used explore Hampi for our Hampi trip. They were very professional and helpful in arranging the tour as well as pickup and drop off in goa. The drive to and from Hampi was in a near new car with very professional and friendly driver. The Manager called me multiple times over the 2 days to check up and get feedback and ensure we were having a good time. Our guide for the 2 days in Hampi was great.. Super friendly, knowledgeable and speaks perfect English. The tour takes you all over Hampi.. Including an awesome sunrise. Our final picnic lunch was one of the best meals we had in India!! Great work explore Hampi. Keep it up!"
