Great tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Very knowledgeable guide who was excellent. Very good value for money. We felt like we saw all the highlights of Chennai in one day, which was great as we had limited time there. We would highly recommend to anyone wanting to book a tour of the city.

Sunday Drive in Chennai

Published on Jun, 2024

We had a wonderful experience driving around the city on a lazy Sunday. Our guide Gopal arrived well before time. He was very courteous. We enjoyed our stop at Kapaleeshwar temple and at St Thomas Basilica. Afterwards, we chose to remain in the car as it was very hot. We did see all the major architectural buildings including the social houses for the fishers in Marina Beach. Our guide provided thorough explanations in excellent English. The car in which we drove was well maintained with good AC. Thank you for this beautiful first visit of Chennai.

Great Day Trip in Chennai!
