- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00I contacted Agora Voyages (Shashi) to arrange for tours from Trichy to the Chola Temples, Chettinad and Madurai. Shashi was very responsive in providing answers to my queries, which made me decide to go with his agency. I did not face with any issues in my excursions. Shashi was in constant contact with the driver and guides to ensure that things were on track. Would recommend Agora Voyages.
