Reviews: Mahabalipuram Private tour from Chennai by car with guide and lunch by Wonder
Guest User2025-08-07
I had a great experience learning about the history of Mahabalipuram. Luckily the weather is just okay though it's the rainy season. I had 1 hr travelling time to go and another 1 hr to get back to my hotel; and 3 hrs to look at the places as mentioned in the itinerary. We didnt go to the lighthouse, we just passed by it. On top of that, lunch was great too.

A perfect day trip from Chennai.Our guide and driver picked us from hotel then drive to Mahabalipuram. They also used the local guide to cover more places.

Our tour guide was very professional, he communicated very clearly and even we arrived late he accommodated. We saw all the monuments and temples and there is a bit of walking but we wanted to check all of them. He explained us very well about the religion and the history of the Mahabalipurum site and also knew that we are not very much familiar with the details so he helped us to learn more about the religious aspects of the monuments.

It was a truly remarkable experience. Kessan made sure we were comfortable. He was also very flexible with our needs and adjusted accordingly. The tour was planned out well. We also learned a lot because Kessan was really detailed. Other than the tour, another highlight would be lunch. Core memories were created. I highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Reviews: Mahabalipuram & Kanchipuram by tourism ministry approved company

Exploring Kanchipuram and Mahabalipuram with Nivi was an amazing, unforgettable experience. I saw beautiful temples and loved learning about their history and significance. I really enjoyed our stop at a traditional home and seeing a silk loom. We shared a delicious lunch, my first time trying paneer dosa in India! Ramesh was also a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable, thoughtful and took amazing photos me throughout the tour of Mahabalipuram so I can show my friends and family. I never felt rushed because they both gave me ample time to explore on my own as well. I cannot recommend this tour enough as a solo traveler in Tamil Nadu.
Reviews: Pondicherry day trip from Chennai by Wonder tours
Guest User2025-11-22
Rajesh has been excellent. His communication prior to my excursion was superb: he confirmed my pickup venue and time well in advance which was both helpful and reassuring. The day itself was excellent. Rajesh was waiting for me ahead of time and walked me to our vehicle and driver for the day. The vehicle was clean and was well stocked with bottled water. Driver was brilliant - navigating the insane Indian traffic safely and with no signs of stress. Driver was also super courteous. The guys had no issues stopping for breaks on the long journey down to Pondicherry. Pondicherry itself was lovely - totally matched my expectations: calmer than Chennai. Rajesh was a great guide, spending time at each of scheduled sites to explain the history and back stories. I highly recommend Rajesh and his team: they ensured I got the most from my day and made me feel safe at all times.
