A must-do in Chennai, especially if you don't want to brave the busy markets on your own! - Really great experience, good value for money and we would recommend to anyone visiting Chennai!
Tharun was super friendly and helpful. He catered to everyone on the tour really well, such as making sure the foods were to our preference by asking for extra spice or low spice. We got to try a variety of sweet and savoury snacks as well as masala chai and sugar cane juice. Thank you for a great tour :)

Shop Like a Local - Amazing tour with Hareesh. Felt like a local with his help including the jammed city streets. Help us shop for a wide range of items including sandals, baby gifts, and silks. These are places that would be a bit intimidating to go on your own.

A brilliant night! Would recommend. - My partner and I took the food tour with Jamie in the Sowcarpet, Chennai. We recommend taking an afternoon tour as the area really wakes up in the afternoon/evening.
Jamie was very knowledgeable about the food and about India in general. We spent a lot of the time asking questions and learning about India, inbetween mouthfuls of good food. Jamie built our experience around what we liked, making sure to get the amount of food and spice levels right.
Truly a relaxed, informative and delicious evening.
I should also note, that my partner and I booked the tour the night before which didn't give the team enough time to organise it. They got in contact the next day to explain and offered that we join one of the evening tours the next day instead. Thanks for being such a polite and thoughtful company.

Fascinating food tour - Spent a fascinating couple of hours getting under the skin of the Chennai food scene, navigating hectic markets and learning about the local culture. Recommended!

Get way to see more of Chennai - The tour through the area was terrific! We did not feel comfortable with several of the sites in terms of use of local water and overall cleanliness. The guide was struggling because there was a national celebration and several of the planned sites were closed. We conveyed this to the guide but it was a challenging day.

Great experience of Georgetown, ok tour. - It was fascinating to experience the hustle and bustle of the Georgetown market area! Such a crush of people, cars, tuk tuks, bikes, scooters, dogs, even horse drawn carts. The food part of the tour was ok, tasty for sure, but we were surprised to still be hungry- there just weren’t very many stops and the last stop was the same as the first. The sweets shop was a tour highlight. Our guide was organized, enthusiastic, and warm but the tour wasn’t super informative because we spent most of the time navigating the streets and not talking with him. We are glad we went.

Very dissapointed - Highly trained guide says viator... this is not true. Friendly guide with not a clue of doing the tour. We went to 4 places , eat few things here and there. Very dissapointed. We felt robbed tbh.
I raised a complaint to viator... still didn't recieve a reply, not even acknowledge the complaint.

Cancelled tours with no notice!!!! - Our tour was booked and confirmed for 11am, we waited by the statue but no one came, we messaged the tour operator to be told the tour was cancelled but would be rescheduled for 5pm. We went back at 5pm and I messaged the tour operator to say we were there waiting only to be told that tour was also cancelled. We had to travel by taxi both ways to get to the tour start place and there was no notice that the tour would be cancelled.

Cancelled last minute - The tour guide rescheduled the tour then cancelled the tour. We did not get to go on the tour unfortunately.
