Beautiful spiritual...

5.00Beautiful spiritual history and architecture. Professional guide and friendly driver. Bring some money to tip them usually RS. 500 or above or as you wish, and bring some extra for shopping. When using restrooms only at stores they prefer small tips as well.
Wonderful trip!

5.00Wonderful trip! Got to see beautiful ancient temples and learn about their history. I asked the tour to include an additional temple (The Brihadeeshwara temple at Gangaikonda Cholapuram), which they were able to accommodate for a small price. We were all very happy with the service we were given.
