What are people saying about Chennai

Mahabalipuram tour by Tourism Ministry approved company

Exceptional Cultural Tour with Kannan

We had a brilliant experience on the 5 Senses Tour, guided by the incredibly knowledgeable Kannan. His depth of understanding regarding the history of the local monuments brought every single stop to life. Rather than just reciting dates, Kannan wove fascinating historical context and rich stories into the day, making the narrative both engaging and easy to absorb. The entire tour was a delight, made all the better by Kannan’s thoughtful service and attentive care. He catered to our pace, made sure we were comfortable throughout and kept the energy high without ever feeling rushed. What truly stood out was his remarkable flexibility. When we requested a change to the itinerary's final activity, Kannan seamlessly adjusted the schedule to take us to the basilica instead. This turned out to be a wonderful and completely unexpected highlight of our day—a stunning site that we would have missed without his willingness to adapt on the fly. If you are looking for an insightful, well-run and memorable tour, ask for Kannan. His expertise and warm hospitality made for an unforgettable afternoon.

Through this tour, I...

Through this tour, I learned a lot about culture and history of South India. One of the highlights was Kapaleeshwarar Temple where I got a sense of what Hindu people value in their lives. And thali lunch was amazing too! Every dish especially rasam soup tasted great. I really appreciated the hospitality of the guide and driver. Thank you so much!

A great introduction to the city of Chennai, with excellent service.

We were picked up from our hotel at the appointed time. Our guide , Kannnan , gave us a thorough introduction to the city of Chennai. It was a wonderful private tour covering the major temples , churches and museums and other sites. Kannan was a great guide- he took care in explaining the history of the temples and ensured we were comfortable at all times. We never felt hurried. We even had time for a leisurely lunch. Would definitely recommend!

Great tour and tour guide

This is a day long tour of the temples of kancheepuram and the monuments of mahaballipuram from Chennai. Our guide , Kannan, was punctual and there was good communication. He was happy to conduct the tour at our pace so we spent as much and as little time at each site that we wanted. He was very accommodating and ensured we were comfortable at all times. A very informative guide. We would definitely recommend this tour.

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. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
