Operating with air-conditioned Volvo buses, the day-long tour starts daily at 9 a.m. from the Kempegowda Bus Terminal and concludes at 6 p.m. Covering prominent attractions such as ISKCON Temple, Vidhana Soudha, Lalbagh, Tipu Sultan’s Palace, and Cubbon Park, the route is curated to offer a comprehensive glimpse into the city's rich heritage. The ticket is priced at ₹400 for adults and ₹300 for children aged 5–10, with a nominal service tax applicable.

In addition to city tours, BMTC has expanded its portfolio with a weekend-exclusive ‘Ghati Isha Foundation Package’, following the popularity of its earlier Isha Foundation Special Tour. Priced at ₹600 per person, the itinerary includes spiritual and heritage sites like Ghati Subramanya, Skandagiri Panchanandi Kshetra, and the Isha Foundation campus. Departures are available from Kempegowda Terminal, Banashankari TTMC, and Central Silk Board at 9 a.m., returning by 7 p.m.

These curated experiences are positioning BMTC as a key player in promoting accessible urban and spiritual tourism in and around Bengaluru.
