Highly recommended tour - We just got back from a private tour of the Marina area. Our guide Hareesh was extremely knowledgeable and we learnt so much. The visit to the Parthasrthy Temple was the highlight of a very interesting morning. I would highly recommend this business, they will taylor your experience to suit you and you will get a good understanding of the culture and local life of Chennai.

Great tour of Marina Beach - I met with my guide at their Ramakrishna Math center for a very interesting tour. Nivethitha is knowledgeable and set an agenda for the tour that was best for me and the day. We walked along Marin beach, tried some local food, and saw the lights and activities of the local scene. We ended with a tour of the monument for the Chief Minister. Nivethitha ensured I got a cab back to my hotel. The tour was perfect.

Excellent overview of Chennai - We have just spent a fabulous morning with Nivi and Ganesh who have guided us around the Marina Beach area. They are very engaging and informative. Great fun to be with. We were given just the right amount of information so we didn't get that awful brain overload. It is a very interesting area. The temple was so colourful and full of life. The beach is lovely and the museum was very interesting. Nivi kept me informed by WhatsApp when she would be arriving at our to collect us which is always reassuring. We were also dropped off at our hotel which was very kind of them. We were treated to drinks at a local cafe which we were not expecting....so thank you for that. I also enjoyed being driven through the city. I felt that I got to see some of the day to day life of the city. I would recommend this trip. Even though we were only in Chennai for 24hours I felt this trip gave us a really good overview of the city.

A very good morning spent in Chennai - What a fabulous trip. Nivi and Ganesh our guides were very engaging informative and good fun. They gave us just the right amount of information without giving us brain overload. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel which was good. We were also treated to drinks at a local cafe. Marina Beach area is very interesting. There are temples, museums and a very nice beach. We were driven everywhere. It was so hot, even in the early morning, that I wouldn't have been able to do a lot of walking. I would thoroughly recommend this trip.

Great cultural experience - At each site I learned about local history. At the temple I also learned about Hinduism and was able to experience temple activities; Vivekananda House informed me of Swami Viveknandas life and impact on India and the world; and the Lighthouse view was just beautiful. I highly recommend this tour.

Good tour experience - This was a great tour. Nivi is really a knowledgeable guide. I asked her so many questions and she was able to answer them. If you are short on time, this is actually quite a good tour.

Marina beach walking tour - Nivi was a most informative and interesting. I came away from the tour much better informed about the Hindu religion. She was full of relevant information and a delight to spend a couple of hours with. I very much enjoyed her company. She spoke freely about her family and life in India
