  We did an early morning walk in the lanes around the temple learning about the history, mythologies and religion. Swarna was a fascinating guide and took us at just the right pace, explaining everything clearly and with humour. Many memorable moments and little details that brought it all to life. Highly recommended.

  Excellent Tales! My charming storyteller was articulate, amusing and professional...she enlivened my visit to Madurai hugely and I commend this experience to anyone interested in the mythological roots of modern India

  What a lovely way to see the city of Madurai in a different light, to understand a little of its history and culture through stories beautifully told by our guide, Priya, in the atmospheric streets around the temple. It was a really special evening, thanks.

  We got off to a 7am start outside the North exit of the Meenakshi Temple when it was cooler and not busy. Our guide, Swarna, was an excellent storyteller for our small group of 3. She brought great context and understanding of Hinduism through the lens of Madurai culture and customs. And good humour! She also helped me get appropriate medical attention for a foot infection. Thanks again, Swarna!

  Spice trails in Madurai was an interesting visit to a house to learn about cooking. We made a drink if ginger, green chilli, yogurt, salt, water (coriander and curry leaves churned) and garnished with coriander and curry leaves. Delicious. We loved doing the home cooking in the host’s own house. Such a good vibe for an authentic experience.

  Don't just visit the temple, when in Madurai, because this tour takes you into the small alleys around the famous monument. Lots of stories there, great tour, wonderful guide. I really enjoyed ist, thank you Swarna!

  Swarna was our guide for the tour and was superb. It is all well planned and executed, from placing the booking, to having a sign at the meeting point so that you can be sure you are in the right place, to the earpieces they provide so that you can hear all that your guide says and breakfast at the end. The group was us and one other couple and we found that there was plenty of opportunity to ask questions, which Swarna was superb at answering. Really glad we chose to do this tour - highly recommended.

  A very entertaining visit to the surrounding area of the main Madurai temple, with a mix of local history, legends and the never-ending adventures of Hindu gods. Great to discover hidden corners, such as the Jain temple and the 11 pillars. The guide was very kind and used her voice skillfully to enhance the presentations.

  This is a great way to see Madurai and to find some excellent and safe food when there. We tried delicious foods that we would not normally have tried. Everywhere Praveena took us to was excellent and the food, snacks and drinks were delicious. There are lots of courses and snacks to try to pace yourself to fit it all in! Praveena gave us the background and ingredients to each dish which was fascinating. Super highly recommended. Praveena was a wonderful guide and host to her city

  I really enjoyed my tour with Swarna who bubbled with enthusiasm telling her tales about the history of Madurai, its myths and customs. Her stories helped put the temple in context when I visited the next day. I really enjoyed the pace and wit of the tour. Great value for money.
