We had a fabulous day with Lakshmi, who is a great storyteller. She found the perfect mix of historical details, interesting stories, and humor, making it an unforgettable experience for us. Booking the tour and the whole process was absolutely hassle-free. The organization was perfect. We will definitely be back for another trail!

A true highlight of our time in Chennai, Lakshmi is an incredible story teller, and a kind and gracious host who despite the weather gave us a wonderful tour. As someone with an Indian background, I was a bit nervous to go with a tour but our group learnt so much behind the “things we do”. It was also a treat to be taken to a local food joint!

Lakshmi is exceptional. We completed this walking tour after near 24 hours of travel and very little sleep. My group of 17, most of them teenagers, were completely besotted with Lakshmi: her genuine warmth, sense of humour, and impressive knowledge had us eating out of the palm of her hand. Do this tour, and cross your fingers that you, too, get the pleasure of learning from Lakshmi.

We may have been to Mylapore and the Shiva temple often as locals .The Peacock Trail gives all our previous visits a depth of understanding…Our host Lakshmi told well researched stories that brought the environs to life. Lakshmi is a warm and charming story teller and it was fun revisiting well known and loved sites with her. I recommend this value for money trail to all locals who think they know it all! because they are locals.Lakshmi will surprise you.

I've long been a follower of the Storytrails YouTube channel. During a recent visit to India I (and some friends) decided to go on a couple of walking tours in Chennai with them. Their tours were wonderful. Funny, informative, accurate, historical and contemporary. Our guide - Lakshmi - went above and beyond to make the tour work for us. Highly recommended

Sri was a perfect tour guide for us – we will surely remember many of the stories he shared with us. We already shared Ganesha story to family members. In this way, the culture, religion, and history became much more vivid. We were also really lucky to witness a traditional wedding at the temple. Sri was very open to our curious questions as well.

The tour was extremely entertaining and very entertaining. Sri has told the different stories very interesting and exciting. When we graduated from the restaurant, we were able to ask a lot of questions and he tried to answer everything and bring us closer to Indian culture. It was a fantastic tour that I can recommend without restriction and I am already looking forward to my next visit to Chennai to do another tour of story trails.

If you only do one tour in Chennai, make it the Peacock Trail in Mylapore with Lakshmi as your guide. This wasn’t just a tour—it was like exploring the neighborhood with a knowledgeable friend who brought every corner, temple, and street to life with captivating stories. Lakshmi’s passion for Chennai’s history and culture is infectious. She didn’t just show us the sights; she wove together tales of tradition, local legends, and everyday life that made everything we saw deeply meaningful. Her storytelling turned ancient temples into living narratives and busy market streets into chapters of the city’s ongoing story. What really set this experience apart was how joyful and personal it felt. Lakshmi tailored the pace perfectly, answered every question with genuine enthusiasm, and shared insights you simply won’t find in any guidebook. Her warm personality made the hours fly by, and I left feeling like I’d truly connected with the heart of Chennai. This is the kind of authentic, intimate tour that transforms a visit into a real understanding of a place. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or think you know Chennai, the Peacock Trail with Lakshmi will open your eyes to layers of beauty and meaning you’d otherwise miss. Book this tour. You’ll thank yourself for it! Tips: Wear comfortable walking shoes that you can easily take on/off you’ll needs to be barefoot in the temples, bring water, and come ready to be enchanted.
