          Incredible place with great guide
          All the guides were amazing. We learned a lot about such an incredible place! The buildings and carvings were incredible to see and such a feat!! Jainath was a great guide who kindly went out of his way to personalize our trip - making extra stops and seeking out anything we mentioned wanting to see or try. Highly recommend this tour!

          Amazing Chennai city tour
          We really had a great time seeing the sights on the Chennai tour - our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Having been in the city for a few days on business it was great to finally see and learn more about Chennai 👍

          Excellent way to see the stone temples
          Excellent tour from start to end. Very good communication via WhatsApp regarding pickup. Driver Mubeen was courteous and car was clean and comfy. Bottled water provided. The guide Ramesh was knowledgeable and took some nice photos for me. Lunch was at a local restaurant and was delicious (and no stomach issues afterwards either!). Some complained about going to a stone trinket store but I just asked that we skip it. Be aware that the drive there and back took about 3 hours and my actual tour took about 2.5 hrs so may not take the 7-8 hours as listed, which to me was a good thing as we still got to see everything. As a solo traveler I felt very safe. Would recommend!

          Great day trip to Mahabalipuram
          Natarajan was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable of the area and history. He was quite friendly, very punctual, and extremely professional. Everything worked very well and we were well supported in our adventure, including pictures and a local meal at the end of our time in Mahabalipuram. In addition, the local guide was friendly with a good handoff between the two.

          The Chola trail & Madurai!
          Jairaman and Ramesh were very well informed, respectful and caring. While guiding us they also tried to fulfill our special requests like multiple cups of amazing filtered coffee and specific kinds of shopping needs.
