About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- bohchan0 contributionsPersonalized half-day tour of ChennaiMy friends and I were in Chennai for a wedding and wanted to see the sights on our last day in town. We only had a few hours and wanted to see the main sights without too much time spent in transit. I reached out Wonder Tours based on the reviews and received an email from Rajesh very quickly with suggested options and rates. The booking process was easy and transparent. Rajesh organized a personalized, private tour for us to see four of the main sights, including transportation and lunch. What was nice was that Rajesh presented us with options so we could really tailor the itinerary to our tastes and it didn’t feel like a one-size-fits-all approach. All in all, this was the perfect way to see everything and finished off our trip to South India. The highlight was the delicious biryani lunch at this low-key place we would have never found for ourselves. Rajesh in particular was great to work with, he responded to my emails very quickly and was patient when I had to change the party size twice. He showed up on time and communicated well with my group. I can’t recommend him and wonder Tours enough, really great experience all around.Written October 2, 2024

- ellah6200 contributionsFun Day in PondicherryMy husband and I had a memorable day in Pondicherry with our guide Rajesh. We went to a temple, checked out several fun restaurants and got to spend time in Auroville. Rajesh provided interesting insights about the history of Pondicherry and was quite accommodating during the whole trip. It was a fantastic day!Written September 29, 2024

- carltS4860VW0 contributionsFun and Informative!!A great trip arranged by Wonder tours.Tour Started from temple and ends at Museum.The tour with Rajesh was amazing.Lunch at local restaurant is yummy!!Written September 26, 2024
- Companion654239805550 contributionsWonderfulRajesh is a great guide.Wander through the charming streets of the French Quarter, adorned with vibrant buildings and bougainvillea, creating a scene straight out of a postcard. Visit Aurobindo Ashram for a soothing experience and enjoy the scenic beaches that line the coast.Later lunch visited Auroville a fabulous experience.Written September 26, 2024
- Companion654239805550 contributionsFabulousWhile a day feels great, both heritage and natural beauty leaves a lasting impression, making Mahabalipuram a must-visit for history enthusiasts and casual travelers alike.Written September 26, 2024

- lisawM711FD0 contributionsCity tour!!Great city tour with our guide rajesh.We visited lots of historic and cultural places.Rajesh explained briefly about temple and its architecture.Written September 19, 2024
- tomwJ4096LO0 contributionsOverpriced and underwhelmingStarted strong then fell off quickly. This was compounded when we were told we could go to see handicrafts being made and were instead taken to a jewelry shop and given a hard sell to buy (obviously some kind of commission deal with the guide) - I’d expect this from a random taxi guide but not for a paid tour! Quite shady behaviour. The tour guide was not enthusiastic - felt like we were a burden after the first temple. One of the temples was closed with no replacement stop. The lunch was tasty but we were told that it was “the McDonald’s of India” - for the price I’d expect better. Considering this costs £55 per person (!!), I would say it is very overpriced.Written September 18, 2024
- Z4518CWnickg0 contributionsFabulous tour!!We recently toured Pondicherry, the experience was a combination of French colonial charm and Indian culture. The town’s unique architecture, colorful streets, and serene beaches made it a peaceful getaway. Walking through the French Quarter, with its vibrant buildings, cozy cafes, and tree-lined avenues, felt like stepping into another world. The Promenade Beach offered stunning views, especially during sunrise and sunset, making it a perfect spot for relaxation. The food in Pondicherry was fantastic, with plenty of options for both French and South Indian cuisine. I particularly enjoyed trying out the French pastries and local seafood. The vibe of the town is calm, slow-paced, and ideal for unwinding. Overall, Pondicherry offers a charming blend of history, spirituality, and coastal beauty, making it an unforgettable experience.Written September 18, 2024
- Z4518CWnickg0 contributionsA perfect blend of History,culture and scenic beauty!!We booked the private tour with Wonder tours which made the journey hassle-free. The drive along the coastal road was smooth Mahabalipuram is the place where we can see different types of architecture.In this tour the company arranged 2 guides both are excellent.I definitely recommend this trip.Written September 18, 2024
- Marie R0 contributionsHad better tripsFelt rushed and it seemed that the guide had no interest in doing that tour. The local guide by the sides was okish though.Written September 17, 2024

For ÂŁ40 this was not worth the money. The Hindu temple was nice, but struggled to understand the history from the guide. You can walk to each location within 10 minutes of each other and it's all free. I wouldn't do again, sorry.
