    We book a day tour from 5 Sense Walks (Product code: 104659) to explore the interesting sites around Chennai city yesterday. The transportation they provided is excellent, the car is tidy and clean, driver smart dressed, service code followed, comfortable ride through out the journey. Kannan the tour guide was very friendly,polite,and we are being well look after. Thanks to his professional good introduction and description, we had a better knowledge about Hindu temple culture and history. Great service and will definitely use this operator again for the next visit. With offices all over India, shouldn't hard to choose a good sightseeing tour.Highly recommended!

    We recently toured Pondicherry, the experience was a combination of French colonial charm and Indian culture. The town’s unique architecture, colorful streets, and serene beaches made it a peaceful getaway. Walking through the French Quarter, with its vibrant buildings, cozy cafes, and tree-lined avenues, felt like stepping into another world. The Promenade Beach offered stunning views, especially during sunrise and sunset, making it a perfect spot for relaxation. The food in Pondicherry was fantastic, with plenty of options for both French and South Indian cuisine. I particularly enjoyed trying out the French pastries and local seafood. The vibe of the town is calm, slow-paced, and ideal for unwinding. Overall, Pondicherry offers a charming blend of history, spirituality, and coastal beauty, making it an unforgettable experience.

    Enchanting chance to learn and see >1000 year old history. Ramesh the guide on site, and Nivethitha for the journey - were fabulous. Polite and kind, knowledgeable and honest; but I also loved the way they (and 5 senses) support local charity, business and staffing.

    But the real treat is the amazing history - to touch, see and walk through hand carved granite buildings…. Carved from huge blocks of rock - from sea front to in land - quite fascinating. And impossibly clever engineering!

    Very interesting tour in Chennai with Rajesh . Started from vast and colourful Marina beach, fish markets , then visit many historical and religious sights . Rajesh was very helpful and knowledgeable with explanations on points of interest. Driver has shown defensive and responsible driving during the tour.

    This was a fascinating and wonderful day-trip to Auroville and Pondicherry. The local guide (Smiriti) was most informative with a great sense of history. Smiriti happily answered any additional questions or queries I had and would willingly take any photos at all of the stops. As it was a warm and humid day, there was always the offer of refreshments to maintain hydration. Thank you also to the driver. It was a comfortable journey in an air-conditioned vehicle and the driver offered rest stops in each direction of the trip.

    I learned two vegetarian dishes at her house. He taught me recipes that I can make even when I return to Japan. Ms. Julividia was very friendly and kind, and explained things carefully in a way that even those of us who are not good at English could understand. I am happy that I was able to spend this precious time with you. Highly recommended!

    We really enjoyed our cooking class with Kamala. She was helpful and responsive before the course so we knew we were in good hands. We learned a variety of local dishes and she was also happy to discuss others. It was very personal to have the class in her home. She also provided notes afterwards so I will be able to recreate the dishes for my family in the UK.

    It was a brilliant tour, stunning dances, interesting temple, Tharon was a great guide. He explained very clearly the religious history of the temple. Nice walk to St Thomas. Tharon even taught me the correct way to eat off a palm leaf, right hand only.

    Best food tour I've ever been on, guide was extremely passionate about sharing his favourites places to eat and the dishes plus full of knowledge of every street, stall and surrounds. Even was kind enough to get me back to my train station on the chennai metro which I wouldn't have even attempted by myself... Absolute legend.
