A great introduction to food in Madurai. Well organised and food choice was super and unique. Organisers revised start time to accommodate our late arrival.

Praveena (the owner of the business) joined us for this lovely tour! It was like travelling with a close friend. We had many laughs and good discussions. The food at each location was catered to our needs/tastes/interests and above all excellent!!! We loved our time with Praveena. We even got to gate crash one of her friends 40th birthday party! This is a must do trip if you are in Madurai in our opinion. Thank you for the great memories. If booking via Viator, do message on their insta page or their own website to ensure booking is confirmed.

An exceptional tour! A fantastic way to see the city and really get a feel for its food and culture. Everything we ate and drank was amazing - brilliant choices with lots of variety. Jafreen was a great guide - knowledgeable, friendly and lively company.

A wonderful first experience with South Indian cuisine! All of the foods and drinks were delicious - our favorites were the chicken 65, masala milk, and many of the sauces for dipping. Jafreen was an excellent guide, so nice and personable. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone, especially those that aren’t as adventurous in venturing out on their own.

It was so much fun, we ate the best paratha’s ever.
Jafreen took us to very nice places and we recommend this tour, you won’t regret it!

Had a really nice experience! We got to know new kinds of dishes and learned how to eat with our hands. Even after the tour we got great recommendations for restaurants to go to.
