Wonderful shopping experience - Nivi was a fantastic guide. We were running 10 minutes late and she was very accommodating and we met her at the first store. She basically held our hand while navigating wedding attire shopping. Would absolutely recommend for anyone looking to shop.

Chennai Trade - Suppliers servicing the city - The flower and food markets were next level, out of this world as were the friendly people at the markets and stalls. Lunch was a cultural experience, particularly the nettle leave dessert. Nichee was a brilliant guide sharing his knowledge of the area and local culture. A bucket list must do experience.

A perfect mix of Chennai experiences - The tour was far better than expected. Great guide and driver. We went to multiple places across Chennai and had an excellent lunch too. Will do again when I’m back in Chennai.

Shopping in Bhubaneshwar - The old town areas in Bhubaneshwar - the Capital of Orissa !! This is popularly known as BMC market. Various shops adorn the areas, selling handicrafts, daily routine items, dresses, silks , artificial jewelry etc. Hardly 10-15 minutes walk away from the railway station. You can find types of bags in a side lane. Boyanika ( Govt of Odisha shop for handlooms et al ) is widely known. Narula sells dresses, cloths at reasonable price. No bargaining at Boyanika, Small amount bargaining at Narula. Was surprised the mango drink seller didn't allow me to buy a local mango - he was straight that I should buy the mango drink ( and not Mango ). In short - don't look for much of bargains in the city. Found "Murphy Radio" prominently displayed on old market building - a childhood memory.

Excellent tour - definitely recommended - In every way this was an excellent tour. Hareesh was a total gentleman, polite, friendly and helpful. He was informative about the different markets, the history of Chennai and life in India. During the tour he took many photographs of me at each venue, which he sent on promptly after the tour. Our discussion about life in India resulted in a very useful book recommendation. The tour also gave a good opportunity to purchase gifts to bring home, in a wide range of prices. I was taken to a great restaurant for lunch - delicious food. I would definitely recommend this tour to others.
