About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- biprak20220 contributionsIncredible place with great guideAll 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!Written March 18, 2025
- Global173312941790 contributionsAmazing Chennai city tourWe 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 👍Written March 15, 2025
- Meander336469171110 contributionsGreat experience at Chennai!!Fantastic experience! Our tour guide was amazing—he arrived at our hotel right on time and made sure we had a great time throughout the trip. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. We truly enjoyed every moment. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!Written March 11, 2025
- teecee20150 contributionsExcellent way to see the stone templesExcellent 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!Written March 10, 2025
