The only way fully experience Madurai Spent a weekend in the southern city of Madurai. Much like Miami - there are three types of weather: hot, hotter and hottest however the main reason for my journey was to visit of an incredible Meenakshi temple complex and explore the vibrant Tamil Nadu culture. All of my time spent with my wonderful guide Meenakshi and our driver made this experience unforgettable. We covered absolutely everything what is there to see in one day with detailed explanations and insights into the daily lives Tamil people.

Highly recommend if you want a hassle free experience. Very satisfied with the experience. We wanted a one day trip to Rameshwaram starting from Madurai. Two days before our trip we got to know that the Ramanathswamy temple would be closed due to some rituals on the day of our pre planned trip. The organizers were very helpful in arranging our trip a day before so that we could do darshan in Ramanathswamy temple. The cab comes with a driver and personal tour guide. Make sure of that before you do the booking for the cab to occupy the number of travelers. I was confused assuming that the driver would be our guide too. Both the staff were very friendly, helpful and respectful. The person whom I contacted for the booking were very cooperative with the booking and arranging our trip. It was very smooth. I would recommend it if you are ready to spend a few more bugs and also want to have a hassle free experience for your family.

Madurai tour Had an amazing guided tour in Madurai with Muthu. Easygoing, informal, and paced perfectly to suit me. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, great company, and made the whole day enjoyable. This was my first solo trip, after a bit of a struggle in Thanjavur), meeting Muthu was exactly what I needed. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Madurai.

A quality guided tour Thanks to this tour, not cheap it is understood, one can visit many (essential?) different places of Madurai: the Meenakshi temple (in partial restoration during the period I was there) , the Gandhi Museum, the basin of the Mariammam temple, a typical craft village and some other points of interest. I was lucky enough to benefit from a guide who speaks Meenakshi French well and who really made visiting the temple interesting and affordable. There is so much to see that without it I would not have known or looked at it, especially the painting of the Shiva lingam on the ceiling with a confusing optical effect... to discover but especially to find! It also allowed me to put in order the many gods of the Hindu pantheon. The east temple is dedicated to Shiva and his wife Parvati &, &, & such and such avatars, vehicle, guardians, son (Ganesh), daughter (Skanda). His explanations seem to have brought much even if I thought I knew this mythology; indeed alive and active here. Madurai is not an easy city first, the center is everywhere and nowhere. I'm finally adding the vegetable market with bananas... Very nice experience.

“Fascinating and educational tour of Madurai – an unforgettable experience!” Here is a revised version with a more interesting and educational tone:The tour of Madurai was just great! Our guide was not only incredibly competent, but also very personable and full of exciting stories. We explored impressive sights and gained deeper insights into the fascinating history and culture of the city. I've learned so much that I'll think about it for a long time.
