Mansions with Shiva

5.00Absolutely spectacular time. Shiva as our tour guide was a wealth of knowledge and could speak to the history of the mansions, temples, and the local town. Deva was a superb and safe driver, taking us everywhere safely and quickly. Keep in mind many of mansions are visible only from the exterior, but we were able to go into 4 different houses, just stunning. Got to visit a bakery and a hand made tile factory. Highly highly recommend.
