Fantastic Chennai City Tour

5.00We were so fortunate to have a second opportunity to have a tour from Jainath for the Chennai City Tour. We spent the day on Saturday with Jainath at an all day trip to Mahabalipurim and Kanchipurim, and then Sunday touring Chennai. Jainath is so kind, patient and knowledgeable, and he takes care of his guests, going above and beyond to accommodate any of your requests. We are so grateful that we had such an amazing and kind tour guide showing us around Mahabalipurim and Chennai, as Jainath was really an excellent ambassador to this amazing area of the world. Thank you Jainath for all you did to make our weekend amazing.
A wonderful day in Chennai

5.00A great tour. This was a very immersive cultural experience. We visited a Ramakrishna center, a Hindu temple, a Jain temple, and two Christian churches. I learned a lot about Chennai and India in general from my guide Kannan. He even taught me the proper way to eat a traditional Tamil lunch.
Amazing Experience

5.00Hareesh and Satish from 5Senses tours were absolutely amazing. Both provided 5 star hospitality and made me feel comfortable throughout the tour. Hareesh is an awesome tour guide, he has a tremendous wealth of knowledge of the area, it's history and it's spiritual aspects, he went out of his to explain everything to me in details so I had a good understanding. Since I visited on a public holiday one of the stops was closed, he made sure that he compensated for this so that I had a truelly immersion experience. I have left Chennai far more knowledgeable with a better appreciation of the culture, with great memories. Hareesh and Satish are a true asset to the 5 Senses and I would recommend both to anyone.
Fascinating discovery

5.00I greatly enjoyed the Chennai Private Tour with my tour guide Kannan, who was a gold mine of knowledge and information. All the stops we did were interesting and beautiful, and left me curious for more. Every question I had was answered thoroughly, and every place and topic were addressed in detail, a testament to the passion and interest of the guide for Chennai and its history. The city itself is wonderful and well worth a visit, whether you are here for one day like me, on a longer trip, or even a pilgrimage. Kannan also gracefully offered to take pictures whenever I wanted, so I could keep lasting memories of my trip. The stop for food was just the icing on the cake, and such a delicious introduction to South Indian food. Overall, this visit opened my eyes to an interesting country of great culture, and I hope I will get to see more of it. Thank you Kannan and thank you 5 Senses tour!
