Riyaz was a fabulous guide and delivered the history of religious buildings with great detail and knowledge of facts. He walked us through areas we would never have found. Recommend tour to understand religions within India.

Fantastic city walking tour in Chennai

Published on Jan, 2025

Our tour around Chennai was fantastic, Miracle was very friendly and knowledgeable. We visited lots of sites and landmarks including a beautiful temple, where we learnt a lot about the history and the meaning. We recommend this tour as a good way to see and get to know the city. The length of the tour was just right and we didn’t feel too tired afterward.

Properly informative and immensely reverent

Published on Jan, 2025

The cultural tour was a great way to get to know the City of Chennai better from a personal level. We went on this tour immediately after landing in India to better understand the cultural perspective before beginning the rest of our trip. Culturally, you must not wear shoes or socks in the temple and are limited as to where and what you can take photos of. While it is all very inspiring and beautiful, out of an abundance of respect, follow those 2 rules. Our guide was very knowledgeable and patient in his explanations of Hindu to a couple of novice travelers. Later, we visited the Catholic Basilica, the Tomb of Saint Thomas the Apostle. Yes, that St. Thomas, the OG. Here too, you need to be respectful of the culture and only take photos where allowed. Overall, each location we visited and learned about are extremely important places in Catholic and Hindu faiths, and the guide was immensely respectful of these places and gave proper reverence that each holy place commanded.
