Visiting from Scotland. Easy on line booking experience. Our guide Ramesh was prompt and called in advance to confirm meeting place and time. All tickets entries were taken care of. Ramesh outlined what we would be doing and checked with us in terms of walking distance and provided options. Very knowledgeable. He also made sure we had some time to walk and take pictures at each site before moving on. All in all a really enjoyable and enlightening experience. We were ready for a rest and an ice cream at the end though!

Absolutely superb walking tour around the numerous Mahabs temples with Gopal as our local guide. His excellent knowledge and explanations from Hindu mythology brought everything we saw into vivid life, as we walked through this stunning place. Couldn’t have a better guide and walking tour, this is definitely a 6 star experience.

Ramesh was an amazing guide. He had planned the tour extremely well. He explained everything with the utmost detail which made the experience quite enriching. He also ensured we got ample time to explore the sites by ourselves. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Mahabalipuram.

Wonderful tour guide. He thoroughly explain everything about this place. If not for him we wouldn't know what is what and not knowing what is going on. Big thank you to his service and immense knowledge of the place.

I booked a group tour but turned out to be a one-on-one. The experience was authentic and my guide, Ramesh, was awesome. He was full of knowledge, and very accommodating. The weather was really hot but he helped me carry water and umbrella while we explored the different sites. Really enjoyed the time there.

Ramesh had an amazing amount of knowledge about the monuments we toured and took the time to make sure we understood the significance of the history and culture of each one. We learned so much about the incredible stone carvings and also about the engineering process and labor involved in the building of them. It was interesting to learn more about the religious beliefs and practices. We would highly recommend Ramesh for your walking tour.
