We had a wonderful evening with Hareesh! He was so knowledgeable about the history and told us many fascinating facts about the buildings we visited. He even bought us an Indian coffee on the way which was delicious! He also took us to the cricket stadium to help us buy a Chennai Super Kings shirt. We really appreciated that he went out of his way to help us! We highly recommend this tour to anyone coming to Chennai - we learnt a lot and had a lovely evening exploring the architecture of the city!
Had a great experience exploring Chennai from a different perspective. Satish, our tour guide, was informative and enthusiastic about the history and buildings in Chennai. Must try experience if you are interested in history and architecture, or if you just want to see Chennai from a different perspective.
Response from Host, May 2023
