After reading the reviews on this trip we went ahead and booked. Wish we hadn't, a small old taxi picked us up, 4 adults so was very cramped & boiling hot, driver had very little English, hardly said a word to us. Dropped off at places, no explanation, no info nothing. For the price they charge its daylight robbery,better off just getting your own taxi and going. They advertised Wifi & water neither of which were available. We put in a complaint to the company using WhatsApp,only to then be blocked by them!! All in all a waste of money & waste of a day. BEWARE, I suggest you book independently & not with this company.

After reading the reviews we had a good feeling that we would enjoy our experience.... WE WERE TOTALLY WRONG! BEWARE!!! If you don’t get a good tour guide your experience will be a disaster!! He had ZERO English, gave us no information or knowledge about each location. Didn’t even give us his name!? We was not provided what was advertised at all (water). It would of been A LOT cheaper and easier to grab a taxi in the street! Beware beware beware, we were totally robbed of our money on this tour!

Really enjoyed the tour and our driver Mr. Ranjith was great. He spoke English really well and was a very genuine and helpful guy. We visited all of the temples but decided not to do the crocodile stop, that’s the great thing about this tour is you can customise it to suit you. Leaving early is totally the right thing to do as it gets really hot by 10.30 but thankfully we had done a few temples by then. Highly recommend this tour and driver. Highly recommended.

Driver will pick up at the hotel and drive to mahabalipuram, which is around 1 and a half hour from the centre of chennai, a very lovely guide and driver, brings us to many attractions together with the detailed explanation. We gained a lot of knowledge from this tour. Totally would recommend it.
