I fell in love with Chennai - Rajesh was a wonderful guide and host. As a solo traveler in town for business, this was the perfect introduction to the city. I felt safe and well taken care of by both Rajesh and his driver. While I enjoyed all the places we stopped, I especially loved just driving down the tree canopied streets surrounded by tuk tuks, women in colorful saris and families on motorcycles. It is colorful chaos and I loved every minute. I absolutely recommend this tour. Thank you, Rajesh!

Great tour well worth booking - Really good tour around the major sites, our guide was very friendly and helpful but English and explanations could have been a bit better and more expansive. Good driver, felt very safe.

Great option for first timers! - This was a great option as a solo traveler. This was a convenient way to see some of the city, without having to plan for the day myself. I was hoping for a little more excitement from the tour guide, but overall I would recommend it.
