Fascinating tour and excellent guides!! Myself and my parents thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Kannan and Ramesh were so knowledgeable and passionate, and there is so much history to see!! They were also patient with all of our photos as we also loved the rare wildlife at each site, and it was so kind of them to take photos of us.Keenan looked after us so well and kept us comfortable in the heat all day. The lunch experience was also excellent, and Keenan gave us lots more restaurant and tourist recommendations for the rest of our trip which was so kind. We also had a very skilled, careful driver and a very comfortable vehicle.I will be recommending this tour to friends and family, you get to see so much!!

Un día muy agradable en Mahabalipuram Esta excursión privada de Chennai a Mahabalipuram de 5 Senses Tours me gustó mucho. El conductor, Hari, fue puntual, y su coche, cómodo y limpio. En Mahabalipuram nos recibió Ramesh, el guía; sus explicaciones fueron muy claras e informativas, y durante el tour tuve mucho tiempo para explorar las zonas a mi ritmo. Visitamos lugares emblemáticos de Mahabalipuram como el Templo de la Orilla, el Descenso del Ganges, la famosa “Bola de Mantequilla” de Krishna y los Pancha Rathas, además de templos excavados en la roca como Varaha y Trimurti. A petición mía, y por un pequeño suplemento, añadieron el Templo Arulmigu Sri Vedhagiriswarar, cuyas vistas desde la cima de la colina son espectaculares. Aunque la excursión incluía comida, opté por un zumo y un chai en un café local, una recomendación de Ramesh que no decepcionó. En definitiva, un tour muy bien organizado y totalmente recomendable.

Great historical and religious sights Great day trip from Chennai to see some unique historical religious sites. Mahabalipuram was particularly beautiful with great views of the sea from the lighthouse. Jainath my guide was very informative and friendly, adding an extra cultural stop and helping me with my food and drink preferences. Can recommend!

Great way to see the animals of Chennai Great tour of Chennai's wildlife places. The tour allows yo to do 4 places in a day easily, seeing a great variety of animals. Natarajan was a great guide, friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone interested in animals.

Mahabalipuram (UNESCO world heritage site) Tour. Tour : Mahabalipuram (UNESCO world heritage site). Our tour guide was Kannan.The tour was amazingly good.

It was explained to us that the first sets of temples we saw were the stone on stone structures while the second sets were the rock or stone cut structures.We took some photographs. We ended with a sumptuous vegetarian lunch.
