I perfect day in Chennai! - This tour was a fantastic way to see Chennai. Kannan is very knowledgeable and taught me so much about the sites that we saw. Even though it is a walking tour, there is a driver to take you from place to place, walking takes place around the areas that you are visiting. I highly recommend this tour to see the sights in Chennai. I also did the Mysore Kingdom tour the day before this tour, it was a perfect combination to see inside and outside of Chennai. Wherever I travel, I will look to see if a 5 Senses Tours is available!

Knowledgeable Guided Tour of Religious Diversity in Chennai - Interesting knowledgeable tour of the religious diversity of Chennai. Spontaneous Booking Referral for the same day was possible without any problems. With a lot of knowledge we were guided through several temples and explained many details and backgrounds. I liked the calm and reserved way of communicating. Questions were gladly answered and also thought of breaks.

Such a wonderful and enlightening tour! An absolute must - An absolute must if you are visiting Chennai. Our guide Srikrishnan was so informed and charming, he brought to life our tour and most importantly left us wanting more! We only had one day in Chennai, as we were just passing through - I cannot recommend this enough to get a sense of the foundations of the culture and history of Chennai and the south of India.

First time in Chennai - What an amazing tour! Went with husband and 2 kids (18 and 20) with Kannan and driver Anand Babu for a magical 4 hours of stories and the history, culture and customs of the sites on this itinerary. We learned so much - and much more than I could through a guide book. Highly recommended!
