I wasn’t very familiar with Georgetown but I did learn so many interesting facts from my guide Hareesh as he was very passionate about the area. It was a nice walk to discover the area. He was very knowledgeable of the area and felt safe during the tour. I’m glad I had the opportunity to join the tour

The tour was well organised and the guide Mr Natarajan was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. He was courteous and made sure that I got the all the historical information I was seeking about Fort St George , St Mary’s cathedral, the Armenian church. Mr Natarajan went out of his way to answer my detailed questions on colonial history

We had an such a nice afternoon and an excellent tour of Georgetown and the Fort museum with Hareesh. He was so knowledgable about the history of the area and so patient with our questions... and he sorted out our trip back to the hotel too. Recommended!!

Hareesh brought me around this fascinating walking tour of Georgetown and Chennai. The private pick up car was comfortable and the tour was well paced. Hareesh was very knowledgeable of the buildings and history and I’ve learnt plenty from him. Highly enjoyed this experience and got to explore Chennai from a local perspective. 10/10!

Natarajan was a very good guide. He knows plenty about the history of Chennai / Madras. As well as history he was most informative bc about food and culture

We had an awesome tour with Satish! So much history to learn about Chennai and the impactful history of South India more broadly. Satish lead at a friendly, considered pace, and it was great to learn both within the St George Fort Museum and walking about the streets. Would highly recommend.
