    My guide, Jainath, and driver Anand were amazing hosts. Jainath’s English was very good. He was very good at explaining the history of things, pointing out certain intricacies. We also made two unplanned stops at an early 20th century home and then later I wanted some Filtered coffee. Get it! Somewhere! I don’t care where. It’s the best.

    I learned much about Hinduism and Indian culture in general. Anand made sure we got there safely and efficiently despite the craziness of driving in India. I highly recommend this tour.

    It was very interesting seeing Auroville and Pondicherry. I enjoyed it very much. It was quite a long drive from Chennai though.

    This trip is a perfect way to see Mahabaipuram for the first time! Basha was a brilliant guide. He was thoughtful, patient, very knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor, and was such pleasant company for the day. I highly recommend this company!

    My friends and I were in Chennai for a wedding and wanted to see the sights on our last day in town. We only had a few hours and wanted to see the main sights without too much time spent in transit. I reached out Wonder Tours based on the reviews and received an email from Rajesh very quickly with suggested options and rates. The booking process was easy and transparent.

    Rajesh organized a personalized, private tour for us to see four of the main sights, including transportation and lunch. What was nice was that Rajesh presented us with options so we could really tailor the itinerary to our tastes and it didn’t feel like a one-size-fits-all approach. All in all, this was the perfect way to see everything and finished off our trip to South India. The highlight was the delicious biryani lunch at this low-key place we would have never found for ourselves.

    Rajesh in particular was great to work with, he responded to my emails very quickly and was patient when I had to change the party size twice. He showed up on time and communicated well with my group. I can’t recommend him and wonder Tours enough, really great experience all around.

    10/10 recommend this tour. Guide Satish (and driver) were supremely helpful, friendly, and attentive. We visited multiple temples and museums, and were provided with extra information and context all along the way. We will be booking another tour with this company. Well done!

    The tour was joyful and at the same time highly informative. Two of us really enjoyed the day. I am well travelled and I make it a point to take a day tour where ever I go around the word. I have taken many tours in many different cities and this Chennai tour is among one of the best. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who visits Chennai.

    Nivi was a fantastic guide. We were running 10 minutes late and she was very accommodating and we met her at the first store. She basically held our hand while navigating wedding attire shopping. Would absolutely recommend for anyone looking to shop.

    It was the start of Diwali break and we encountered a massive traffic jam near Hosur on the way to Kanchipuram. The most likely reason of the heavy traffic jam was an array of fire crackers shop near Hosur during Diwali . The drive to Kanchipuram was longer than usual but it was worth it. We took a quick break at Shri Krishna Inn near Shoolagiri. Though the restaurant was over crowded, the quality and taste of food compensated for the long wait. We reached Kanchipuram by 4 p.m and checked in at Sri Sakthi residency. It was a well maintained hotel with a restaurant at the ground floor. During our stay, we had our food at that restaurant. The food was good and you can explore authentic Tamil delicacies here. My personal favorite was Appam with coconut milk, meals (served in afternoon) and a Ayurvedic juice made of herbs. Since Kamakshi Amman temple was at a walkable distance, after a quick break we walked towards it. It is one of the Shakti Peeth and a beautiful temple with enticing scriptures on the temple walls. If you can walk for around 1 km, you can further walk to Ekambareshwar temple which is a Shiva temple. The lingam is made of sand and hence 'abhishek' is not done. Ekambareshwara means Lord of the mango tree. A lot of significance is found for the mango tree located in the centre of the temple. The temple is huge and we were lucky to witness the evening aarti. On the next day we visited the Kailasanatha temple which is dedicated to Lord Shiva and one of the oldest temples in Kanchipuram. All the 3 temples are closed in the afternoon, but open early in the morning. There are lot of temples in Kanchipuram, in case you plan to explore them. I also observed that some houses were old and had the traditional touch which was very alluring. To commute locally, auto rickshaws are easily available in case you dont want to drive. Apart from temples, silk sarees are worth exploring.

    We as family visited South India Temples through All India Packages. The trip was very well planned with good stay and arrangements. We are really thankful to Saba for 24*7 support. We had a great time at each temple, and we enjoyed a lot through all the trips. The chauffeur Gopi is a real gentle person and very much supportive. We can’t thank him enough for making our trip so memorable. In future We will choose again All India Packages as it is most trustable and value for money.
