A wonderful food tour - A absolutely wonderful tour with the most amazing guide, Jafreen! She took us all over Madurai and we tasted a plethora of foods. We learned so much about southern India food and culture. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting Jafreen and spending time with her! Don’t hesitate- book this tour!!

Eat like the locals - “Eating like a local” is what every true traveller wants. Researching street food is what many famous European chefs have done recently and are showing it in their TV programmes. All the privileges that they have you can have, including videos and photographs. In Madurai we were taken through town by two charming ladies sampling dishes and drinks you would not have a chance to taste in the hotels. Surprising methods of preparation, explanation about ingredients, an insight into what how and when the locals eat. We cannot recommend the tour enough. A chat about the city and daily life was an extra bonus. Thanks a lot for your enthusiasm and dedication. Peter and Nell from Antwerp

Amazing Experience and Fabulous Guide! - My mother and I were visiting Madurai from the US and happened upon Foodies Day Out and we are so glad we did! It was one of the highlights of our visit. Praveena was an amazing host, making us feel immediately comfortable and we got to try so many delicious foods that we otherwise never would have even thought to sample. My mother is 75 and was a little hesitant to do a street food tour but she absolutely loved it and has thanked me multiple times since for booking. We strongly recommend!

Best food tour! - We highly recommend Parveena and her food tours. She is charming, pleasant and professional woman. The tour was fascinating, accompanied by knowledge about food and Indian kitchen culture. It was varied and tasty and we really enjoyed it. There is no doubt that you get to know India also through the rich and special food. Parveena is the right person to do that. Tnx❤️

Great time - great food! - We had a great time with Mukunthan! He picked us up at the hotel and showed us a side of Madurai we could have never experienced on our own. We ate absolutely delicious food at different restaurants, and got a chance to feel (somewhat) like a local.

100% recommended - We had a wonderful time! We tried a lot of food and got some of the background about both the city and our food. And added plus: they could keep my partners allergies into account.

Book this tour - My wife and I booked 2 nights in a row of tours with Mukunthan. He was super professional and so joyful in showing us the amazing foods in Madurai. We tasted foods we had never heard of, and many which were only served here. We were enchanted by the whole experience! Highly recommend this tour!
