We enjoyed our tour. The guides were knowledgeable and the van was comfortable, with excellent A/C, which was a plus in the super hot climate. The UNESCO heritage site is amazing but signage is lacking, so a tour guide is a must. I 100 % recommend taking this tour.

It was good
Great monuments. Clean large car. Guide was good but we were discouraged from shopping which we actually wanted to do. I also understood the tour was 8-10 hours long, however we returned after the sightseeing was completed.

Temple Delight
We booked this tour at relatively short notice for 23 people 24 hours in advance. The tour company were superb. We had lunch included all pre booked ( with special requests accommodated ).
The ride out and back was smooth and there were seatbelts on the coach.
Our guide Bish was excellent and well worthy of an extra tip at the end. Superbly knowledgable. We had a great day as we left at 7.30am and were back at the hotel for 2.30pm for a few pints. 👍🏴

Interesting tour of Mahabalipuram
We had a great tour of Mahabalipuram and the UNESCO site. Rajesh was very flexible to accommodate our change in the timetable. The guide was very knowledgeable and made the excursion interesting.

Worth a visit
Fascinating and well worth the visit. The carvings are over 1400 years old, we had an excellent driver but the guide had poor English

Great trip to see Shore Temple and Five Rsthad
Great trip to Mahabalipuram. Our driver and our guide, John, were both excellent.
It was a trip down memory lane for me as I last visited in 1982!

A must from Chennai
Magic area of monuments and temples carved in rock. The local guide shared good details and insights of all of them. Great experience from Chennai.

Great experience!
Really enjoyed this tour, knowledgeable guides and safe drivers, at least as safe as one can be in India. Mahabalipuram is full of ancient history, astonishingly well preserved without any conservation or restoration in the last 1400 years. Definitely recommend!!

Mahabalipuram
The sites at Mahabalipuram were breathtaking and all were approachable. Our guides and driver were excellent. Highly recommend this day tour.

Well organised day trip to Mahabalipurum
After our previous trip booked through aviator was a disaster, I contacted Rajesh from Wonder tours myself to be reassured that all was well. He was charming, looked after us very well and he spoke excellent English. Our driver was the best that we had had and managed to get us through the traffic competently. The local guide at the sites in Mahabalipurum was very knowledgeable and brought the temples to life for us. We enjoyed a good day.
