The trip started a bit weirdly as our driver did not speak much English but was pleasant. We then met our guide later on at the Palace , Mr Dhanapal , who was excellent. He then proceeded to gain us entry into the temple and we missed so many queues it was almost embarrassing as we got preferential treatment over 500 plus locals. He was super knowledgable also and gave us some very interesting facts while also entertaining us with his quirky sense of humour. A nice guy and decent man. We would definitely recommend. The Rick shaw ride itself was an eye opener as you really do see behind the scenes in Madurai. Great trip.
