Ordered the English version and was billed. They sent the Spanish version and did not respond to my request for the English version for 11 hours ( after we did the walk). I believe this is a scam from India. I have asked for a refund and none was given. I will be contacting VISA to try to get the payment cancelled. Service unacceptably slow and not helpful.

We appreciate the opportunity to address this feedback. After a thorough review of our records, we'd like to present the facts of this situation: Language Selection: Our system shows that the Spanish version of the audio guide was specifically chosen during the booking process. We always provide the exact language version selected by the customer at checkout. Product Delivery: The Spanish audio guide was delivered as per the original order specifications. This is standard practice to ensure customers receive what they initially requested. Response Time: Our customer service team consistently strives for prompt responses. The claimed 11-hour delay does not align with our typical response times, which are generally much shorter. Refund Policy: Our refund policy is clear and applied consistently. When we deliver the product as ordered, refunds are not typically issued. Audio Guide Quality: Our guides in all languages are crafted to be informative, engaging, and user-friendly. They feature energetic language and an encouraging tone to enhance the exploration experience. It's crucial for potential customers to be aware that this review contains several inaccuracies. We value honest feedback as it helps us improve, but it's equally important that reviews reflect actual experiences accurately. For all travelers considering our services: Double-check your language selection before completing your purchase. Our self-guided tour system is designed for flexibility and ease of use: You receive access links via email on your selected date. Audio content is available via a secure SoundCloud link. An interactive Google My Maps link helps you navigate between attractions. You can explore at your own pace and customize your experience. If you need to change your language preference after purchase, contact us as soon as possible to avoid any issues with your tour experience. We remain committed to providing high-quality, informative audio guides to enhance our customers' travel experiences. We encourage all travelers to provide honest, factual feedback about their experiences with our service. If any customer has concerns, we urge them to contact our support team directly. We're always ready to address issues and find appropriate solutions based on the actual circumstances of each case.

Chennai has very few malls to boast off. But Phoenix Market city Mall, which is at 10-12 minutes from ITC Grand Chola Hotel, is quite good. It has most major brands and boasts of a Hypermarket too, Big Bazaar. There are a few eateries with reasonably good food. Can consider for a visit when in Chennai.

Really bad. The guides are just a few mins each, no real insight, and not well read. Strongly advise against this.

*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
