In Madurai you have 2 highlights: the temple and the foodie tour. One of the best experiences in India we ever had. You taste a lot of food in a very original way that is very safe and healthy. Go for it.

A must-do in Madurai, may well rival the temple as No.1 attraction :). The tour takes ca. 4 hours. Your guide will take you to several places (restaurants / food stalls, some of which you would probably not even consider giving a go otherwise) to enjoy food and drinks you might well never discover without them. Wanna know what the... More

Hi Dan, thanks for your wonderful review. Next time you should bring your wife along for the tour. I really got to tell this to all our readers, you really are the only one who was able to complete a Full Jil Jil Jigarthand and a Lassi for dessert at the end of our tour ! Would really love to...

This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Mukunthan, our guide, couldn't have been more knowledgeable or enthusiastic about Tamil Nadu cuisine. We visited 8 different food stalls and restaurants. Slices of tender coconut bark, string hoppers with coconut milk... sweet and savory foods that we couldn't have discovered on our own. Don't miss this tour.

I can't say enough about "Foodies Day Out". Our guides Bravina and Mithele took us to their favorite stands, stalls and restaurants and we were hard put to not fill up on every dish that lay before us but we knew there was still more to come. And more after that. We were 4 adults and a 2 year old... More

We were recommended to take this tour by a fellow traveller and we enjoyed it very much. the young couple who took us were completely charming. It was very educational if you are interested in learning about Indian food and tasty too!

This was the best trip we did of our holidays. Booked as a last minute thing, it turned Madurai from just a temple city into a buzzing, colourful, exciting, friendly city with amazing food, literally on every corner! Praveena and Mythily made the evening one that we were sharing with friends, rather than feeling like it was a paid tour.... More

Rather than having yet another hotel meal or wandering the streets looking for an eatery, we decided to give the foodies a try. I must admit, not all food was amazing or even mind-blowing, not to our taste anyway. But the whole point for us was to experience something different, places we wouldn't find ourselves or not dare to go... More
