Great way to experience Mylapore - Great overview of the religious, cultural, and historical significance of the temples we visited. My guide was flexible and asked what I wanted to do and see. I enjoyed many small details I wouldn’t have if I had been visiting on my own, without a guide. I had a great time. My guide even made sure my uber reached my guest house safely afterwards.

Excellent tour - As a woman travelling alone, I felt safe with “Harry” my tour guide, who proved to be pleasant and knowledgeable of the Kapalesshwarar Temple and shared stories of some Hindu Gods and Demi-Gods, as much as he could share with the time we had. San Thoma Cathedral was stunning and the walk along Marina Beach culminated the tour. I strongly recommend this tour and tour guide.

See the main sights of Mylapore - Nice walking tour of Mylapore. Recommend doing early in the morning before it is too hot. Kapaleeshwarar temple is incredible - even more than in photos, the detail and abundance are unbelievable.
