Fort St. George er den første engelske fæstning i Indien, grundlagt i 1639 ved kystbyen Madras, den moderne by Chennai. Byggeriet af fortet gav skub til yderligere bosættelser og handelsaktivitet i det, der oprindeligt var et ubeboet land.
Kapaleeshwarar Temple er et hinduistisk tempel dedikeret til Lord Shiva beliggende i Mylapore, Chennai. Formen for Shivas konsort Parvati, der tilbedes ved dette tempel, hedder Karpagambal, er fra tamil. Templet blev bygget omkring det 7. århundrede e.Kr. og er et eksempel på dravidisk arkitektur.
Government Museum er et museum for menneskelig historie og kultur beliggende i Government Museum Complex i kvarteret Egmore i Chennai. Det startede i 1851 og er det næstældste museum i Indien efter Indian Museum i Kolkata og er det tiende ældste museum i verden. Det er særligt rigt på arkæologiske og numismatiske samlinger.
Fort St. George har en imponerende arkitektur og er dets museum. Opkaldt som Fort Museum, det kan prale af en varieret samling af antikviteter, der er godt præsenteret i forskellige gallerier. Du kan besøge Portrætgalleriet for at se portrætter og oliemalerier af Madras guvernører såsom dronning Victoria, kong George III, Sir Arthur Havelock og Robert Clive. Eller du kan udforske Indo-French Gallery for at opdage udstillinger som ure, frimærker, møbler, lampeskærme og århundreder gamle britiske mønter.
Et andet interessant monument inden for grænserne af Fort St. George er St. Mary's Church. St. Mary's Church, der betragtes som den ældste anglikanske kirke i Asien, har indviklede træmøbler sammen med glasvinduer og teak-plader, der stadig skinner. Denne bygning, der dateres tilbage til år 1678, har stået med tiden og er et besøg værd for alle.

The museums in the complex are excellent and well worth the time to visit. I was very disappointed to learn The Museum Theater is not open and there are no performances. Definitely take time to visit the National Art Gallery and see the traditional paintings.
Thank you for your kind encouragement and review for our services. Museum Theaters are governed by the adminsitration and open for limited duration. We hope to see you soon and be of service to you.
I literally only had 1 free morning in Chennai, so this was the perfect sized tour for me. The driver and guide were great and flexible. For example, I wanted to go and paddle in the sea, so they planned this into the itinerary.
Thank you very much. Your feedback is really important to us.
First and foremost the communication between the company who runs these tours (Muthu Kurman) and the customer looking to pay good money for the tour is horrible. After confirming our pickup times and locations twice they still sent the driver to the wrong location which then caused an hour delay. This delay was at no fault the tour guides. He was a freelance tour guide and he was great, he had explanations for all of our questions and was very apologetic for the early morning delay even though it was not his fault. The temples were very fascinating as well the St. Thomas church which had an underground bunker where they were giving live sermons. This was a very cool experience. Next, on the way to the museum our guide pointed out multiple universities and beaches. The museum was a bit different than anticipated. It is located in what westerns would call a gymnasium and takes only a few minutes to get through. Overall the tour was informative and interesting and I see why you have to have a guide because most of the places you would never find otherwise. Great tour guide experience from Mr. Muniswamy. However, very rude communication by Muthu Kurman who was the company you book from through trip advisor with. Thanks Mr. Muniswamy for providing a positive tour.
<p>The local guide was SO informative and professional. He also really made me feel comfortable and safe. I would love to take this tour again. So much history to absorb!</p>
<p>It was a great experience. The tour guide was very knowledge and explain both the culture and the artefacts is was presenting. I got to see lot of the main sights. The car was lovely and air conditioned, and the lunch was in a fantastic restaurant. All in all, a great experience.</p>
<p>It was a good tour. I had a very knowledgeable and professional young lady as a guide, a nice car and driver and the tour was worthwhile. I saw a lot in four hours. It will not have been the same, doing it on my own.</p>
<p>We enjoyed our tour! Our guide and driver were very attentive and courteous. They even worked it out to pick us up at the port and then drop us off at the airport. We highly recommend using Viatour. They have many options and will work for you from all over the world!</p>
