    We really wanted to get a flavour of Maduari having only arrived late yesterday and Dhanabalan was a fantastic guide. His knowledge is wonderfully broad telling us about the maharajahs Palace and the temples to the onion and banana markets and fascinating facts about the city and history of religion. We really enjoyed his tour. He’s great company and we’ve learnt so much. It was a joy.

    A comfortable car, driven by a good person, who arrived at the appointed time & was more than willing to assist us anytime during the tour. Had a good experience with Jamal in Rameshwaram and Dhanushkodi.

    Me and my friend had a really good experience with this tour and our guide: the driver came pick us up at the hotel on time, water was available and he was very welcoming and helpful when we asked questions about the city. Our tour guide was extremely prepared and gave us a lot of information both from the mythology and religion and from the historical and anthropological perspective which we really appreciated. He was also available to guide us to gift shopping when we asked.
    The tour comprised two main temple sights in Madurai, the raja palace and Gandhi museum, but also few quick stops at the fruit and banana market and the terra cotta artigianal shops in the outskirts of the city.

    Lovely experience!

    I had a one day tour from Madurai to Rameswaram. The car was very clean and fresh, the driver drove carefully. We met our guide in Rameswaram. He took me to the temple area and the ghost city and the see. After that I had an excellent lunch (on my fees) in a small, local fish restaurant. It was a very nice day.

    Very much worth having a guide to take tou around. Ours was very knowledgeable and really talked us through the history and thr culture. No phones in the temple so be prepared to leave them in a shop where tou will feel somewhat pressured to buy stuff afterwards. But nice guys and not too much of a hard sell. Take water as well..

    We combined an Off The Beaten Track tour with a tour of Sri Meenakshi Temple and we would highly recommend both — although, definitely choose OTBT if only doing one tour. It was very special being able to see less easily accessible parts of Madurai.

    Our guide, Dhanabalan, was professional, accommodating and extremely knowledgeable. He was responsive to our interests in designing the itinerary and we were grateful to learn so much about Tamil history and culture.

    Organising the tour was simple via WhatsApp, and everything ran smoothly.

    Prakash is a knowledgeable and gracious guide. He is generous with his time and obviously has a deep understanding of the history and mythology of Madurai. His access to the inner areas of the Meenakshi Amman temple was the highlight of the tour. It was a simply fabulous evening

    We did an early morning walk in the lanes around the temple learning about the history, mythologies and religion. Swarna was a fascinating guide and took us at just the right pace, explaining everything clearly and with humour. Many memorable moments and little details that brought it all to life. Highly recommended.
