Great tour of Mylapore temples and more

Published on Mar, 2025

Satish was a great guide with a wealth of knowledge. He provided a lot of very interesting information while maintaining the tour quite enjoyable. It was a great way to enjoy Mylapore and I wouldn’t have been able to do and see a third of what we explored if it wasn’t for Satish. Great tour!

Great Tour!

Tour was very informative and interesting, Mr Natarajan did a fantastic job and even helped me get a few souvenirs on the way!

Walk through Mylapore

Published on Mar, 2025

We had an interesting tour through Mylapore. Our Guide was friendly, helpful and could answer all our questions. He showed us different temple and provided many information about the spiritual and historical backgrounds. He also invited us for a cup of tea and helped us with a Auto ride after the tour. We recommend this tour with guide Mr. Natrajan.

Memorable historic walking tour of Mylapore, Chennai

Published on Mar, 2025

I highly recommend this tour and the company that organizes it (Five Senses). My guide for the day, Hareesh, helped bring this historic Chennai neighborhood to life for me, and showed me things which I certainly would not have discovered for myself. If you have a few hours in Mylapore, spend it on a Five Senses tour and ask for Hareesh, you will not regret it!

Wonderful walking tour

Published on Mar, 2025

Wonderful walking tour with Jainath, who was very knowledgeable and friendly. I booked a group tour but it ended up being just me! Great way to walk around and learn more about this interesting city. Delicious coffee break too. Great communication prior to tour and he waited with me until the Uber came to bring me back to hotel. Would highly recommend!
