So much more than just a food tour - We totally loved the Foodie Tour.
As someone who has recently become gluten intolerant I was looking for a tour that would ensure I got a taste of Southern Indian cuisine while having the confidence of a guide who could explain what I could not eat. The tour lived up to and exceeded my expectations. We were introduced to a wide range of delicious foods. Mukunthan was very clear about the few things I could not eat. In fact I learnt there was a lot more I could eat than I had initially assumed which added to the enjoyment of the rest of our trip. However the Foodies Day Out is not just about the food it is also about having a fun evening out filled with relaxed, intelligent conversation. Visiting the night market was also a highlight. Madurai is a vibrant city with a long and rich history. When you get to Madurai a Foodies Day Out, is a must. Thank you Mukunthan for a wonderful evening.

Authentic, fun and full of flavours - This was the second time we join this food tour in Madurai. First of all it needs to be said that Madurai is an authentic, thriving and fascinating city that sweeps you off your feet with its hectic, colourful and friendly atmosphere. The food tour reflects this and in an informal, easy and mouth watering way manages to give you a taste of the real street food of the region. As the day light wanes and the nightlife starts to get busy, our guide Praveena helped us navigate traffic and side streets, from one food spot to another: fruit carts, spice shops, “hotels” (Indian denomination for local food outlets) and street stalls, taking in all the authentic flavours a real foodie would expect, while telling the tales and secrets of the city. What really makes a difference is that the four friends that set up the food tour and still personally guide you, are themselves foodies and grew up in Madurai. Their local knowledge is evident, and their fun, well spoken manner is only matched by their passion for their hometown and its variegated food traditions. One of the best food tour experiences we have ever had.

Tried and Tested Tasty Tour in Madurai - We had a most enjoyable (and very filling) tasty tour of the best stalls and restaurants in central Madurai. Praveena was a highly knowledgeable and super-enthusiastic foodie guide who ended up driving us around herself as the taxi company let her down at the last minute. I loved her ‘scaling’ how full we were a fair way into the tour 0 - hungry 10 - completely stuffed (my description!). Highly recommended as everyone before has said.

Wonderful experience that gives you chance to sample the rich food culture of Madurai - Wonderful experience that really gives you a chance to sample the rich food culture of South India and Madurai through local eateries and streetfood vendors, that you would otherwise never discover. Jafreen was a really great guide, providing insights about all the food, sharing personal stories and always accommodating. An experience you really should not miss when in Madurai as it shows a whole other diverse part of the city!

Great tour - definitely book! - My husband and I were a little skeptical about whether we should do this tour. Thank God we dared! It was just perfect and tasted excellent! Thanks to Mukunthan & Praveena we got a very good insight into Indian cuisine. You can feel that both of them are passionate about imparting their knowledge; they are also an extremely nice and helpful couple! Thank you for this great evening!
