We had a great tour of George Town street markets in Chennai - we booked only 4 hours before, online, and the whole booking process was incredibly easy - plus could pay on card, which is super useful as we were only in Chennai for 2 nights, so didn't want to take out too much cash.

Review of: Peacock Trail Walking Tour in Mylapore
Our guide Akila was superb - knowledgeable, friendly with a great sense of humour and excellent english. The meeting point was easy to find. We enjoyed her insightful stories about the sites we saw as well as other local historic events. All aspects of the tour were interesting. We came away feeling we had gained some insight into life in Chennai in general. At the end of the tour she also helped us with transport to get back to our hotel. Highly recommended tour.…

It was entertaining and informative. To know the history is one thing but to be told in a very interesting and dramatic manner is a skill.
