Great value

Great value. Our guide Rajesh was very knowledgeable and spoke good English. He even diverted off the tour for us to get a suit sizing at a shopping mall. All visits were interesting and you could do them all in your own time frame

Had a lovely half day tour of Chennai with a charming young ambitious guide, he changed the itinerary on the hop as I had already visited one the attractions. We finished off with a delicious light lunch and I mustn’t forget the driver who picked me up and dropped me off again, felt very safe in the organised chaos on the roads

Great tour!
