Splendid Chennai: Private Half Day Tour of Chennai
Driver was prompt and...
Overall a good half day out. Driver was prompt and took us around well. Guide was extremely knowledgable both on the journey pointing out places of interest and at the visit sites. Some sites were great, particularly the temple and the market we were taking to, but wouldn’t recommend the fish market or the fort to include.

Big Fat Indian Wedding, shopping & bazaar walking tour in Chennai
A fabulous and unique tour.
What a fabulous tour. Nivi, our guide, was so warm, informative and sharing. We learnt so much about about the traditions and obligations of preparing for a wedding in South India, The intimacy of the experience was special. Nivi also introduced us to kuzhipaniyaram, a delicious street food of crisp pan fried rice and lentil dumplings. I would highly recommend this tour and Nivi as a tour guide.

Private Food Trail in Sowcarpet Market
Awesome!
Lakshmi is the nicest, most knowledgeable and kind guide in Chennai. Her stories are told with a smile and with a great sense of humor. We had 2 small children with us and she accommodated us all very well. I would recommend this trip for anyone who likes a good story and tasty food.
