I thoroughly enjoyed my tour of British Raj Architecture of Chennai with my guide Hareesh. His explanations of the buildings construction and design were comprehensive and very clear. The highlight was a trip on a Suburban train! I would recommend this tour and his company. First class!

Satish is an excellent guide. Excellent knowledge, excellent English. Our tour was the very best up to now, a most enjoyable experience. We learned a lot, visited many interesting places along the way. We would fully recommend this tour. Make sure you can walk-it’s a walking tour after all-and wear comfortable shoes.

The guide Mr Satish was very knowledgeable and could make the tour interesting. But the tour itself did not have many places to cover. A wider expanse would have been better. Moreover I found the tour to be very expensive. I presumed it was a group tour I didn't book for solo. The money charged was exorbitant. Probably people paying in Euro or dollars may not find it so. The amount charged from me which was nearly Rs 4000 was too much. You need to review the cost once more
Great Indian street food tour

This was a brilliant street food tasting tour. The guide was very prompt and exactly where he said he would be. He took us to 7 or eight different restaurants, he explained exactly what he was going to order and what we would be eating and he also told us about some local buildings and places of interest. Highly recommend really really good street food tour
Best Chennai tour ever!
