5.00Fantastic full day tour. Hareesh was very knowledgeable about all the places that we visited; he was also very entertaining with it. It was a very flexible day with Hareesh wanting to do what I wanted but also making suggestions as there is so much to see you'll not be able to cover it in just one day. We had wide ranging and intelligent conversations whilst in the car too, which made the day even better. The driver, Vignesh, took great care on the roads and was always there when needed. I would wholeheartedly recommend this company and, if you can, request Hareesh and Vignesh and you'll not go wrong.
Well-organized and insightful day tour to Mahabalipuram & Kanchipuram

5.00I joined a full-day car tour from Chennai to Mahabalipuram and Kanchipuram, visiting several ancient Hindu temples and important archaeological sites. The guide, Hareesh was very knowledgeable and genuinely committed to making the tour enjoyable. He had a pleasant way of speaking and explained the history and stories in a clear and engaging manner, even for someone with little background in Indian history or religion. A delicious Indian lunch at a local restaurant was included. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. I highly recommend this tour.

5.00Natarajan is a very experienced and knowledgeable tour guide. He was my guide on my 1 day Kanchipuram and Mahabalipuram tour. He offers stories beyond the normal guide. It was a real blessing to spend the day with him. He has been my personal photographer and has been subjected to my 1 star jokes. Great bloke My only suggestion is that this tour might need to be a two day tour. I would have loved seeing more of the 1000 temples in Kanchipuram. Thanks
Highly recommended, Must do!!

5.00Highly recommend 😁 Natarajan is an incredible guide. He was absolutely amazing. Giving me lots of information about all of the sites and temples we went to. Without having information and background history of what the temples represented was fantastic!! Giving much more meaning to the experience. He helped answer questions that were about India. It is the first time in am visiting here and he gave me lots of excellent tips and advice for my travels. As I am travelling on my own and have only been in India a few days. He gave me a bunch of restaurant and other sightseeing tips and suggestions. I had a fantastic day and was happy with everything. Having a private driver was amazing. We could take our time and i could stay longer at places i wanted to. The lunch included was delicious. I will definitely be doing more tours here next time im in Chennai. Just ask for Natarajan. Great guy very friendly and was a pleasure to.spend the day with.

5.00Booked last min trip on whim to spend 1 leisure day in Chennai. With in few mins of booking was connected to the tour guide Mr Kannan and from there it was a very knowledgeable/ engaging experience. Mr Kannan’s story telling skills and communication style is top notch making you visualize what the world would have been 1300 yrs back . Enjoyed every min of the tour. Thanks
Full on day trip but worth the long day

5.00Pretty full on day trip visiting Kancheepuram in the morning, then Mahabalipuram in the afternoon after lunch. Jainath was very attentive throughout with lots of helpful information about the artistry and history on display in the various temples. We also visited some typical older houses and a silk workshop in Kancheepuram, as well as a local sculptor in Mahabalipuram. An extremely long day but well worth going to see these ancient temples and sites just outside of Chennai.
Complex carved stone temples from 600-700 CE (or A.D.)

5.00To see ancient religious sites from 1400 years ago, this tour is excellent. Kannan was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. However, beware the use of the word "cave' which is actually just a recess cut into stone walls to house the carvings of Shiva and the usual gods and their families seen in most temples. The tour covers 2 small but impressive UNESCO heritage sites
Unmatched Private Experience!

5.00This is an amazing tour!! My guide Natarajan and driver Mahendran were fantastic and so accommodating. I was a bit ill the day of the tour but they both went out of their way to make every adjustment I asked for. So glad I powered through because the temples and monuments are incredible. This tour is worth every penny!!
Culturally immersive and beautiful tour

5.00Exploring Kanchipuram and Mahabalipuram with Nivi was an amazing, unforgettable experience. I saw beautiful temples and loved learning about their history and significance. I really enjoyed our stop at a traditional home and seeing a silk loom. We shared a delicious lunch, my first time trying paneer dosa in India! Ramesh was also a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable, thoughtful and took amazing photos me throughout the tour of Mahabalipuram so I can show my friends and family. I never felt rushed because they both gave me ample time to explore on my own as well. I cannot recommend this tour enough as a solo traveler in Tamil Nadu.
Temples, Traffic & Top Guides!

5.00I started my 5 Senses Tour at 7:30 with Ganesh and Mahendren, who were sharp and punctual. Ganesh shared great knowledge of Kanchipuram temples before we drove to Mahabalipuram, where local guide Ramesh explained the local sites really well. Mahendren did a fantastic job navigating “video-game level” traffic in a cool, comfortable Suzuki.
