Rejseplan
Det første stop er på den private rundvisning i Chennai er Fort St George, det første fort bygget af briterne i Indien, færdiggjort i 1639. Det var her historien om Chennai startede. Fortet huser et interessant museum og St Mary's Church, den ældste anglikanske kirke i Indien. Det er dette fort, der gjorde det muligt for briterne at overtage "juvelen i det britiske imperium", Indien.
Santhome-basilikaen blev oprindeligt bygget af portugiserne i 15 e.Kr. Katedralen er i dag en storslået bygning i nygotisk stil. Portugisisk tradition siger, at St. Thomas ankom og prædikede i Chennai mellem 52 og 72 e.Kr. Det menes, at det er her, St. Thomas blev begravet - hvilket gør det til en af de 3 kirker i verden, bygget oven på en grav af en Apostel.
Kapaleeshwarar-templet er et gammelt "levende" tempel - et tempel som stadig er i daglig brug. Templets alder er kilden til megen debat. Den almindelige opfattelse er, at den blev bygget i det 7. århundrede e.Kr. af den regerende Pallavas.
Kør langsomt forbi Marina-stranden - en af de længste bystrande i verden. Der er mange bygninger fra kolonitiden på facaden, og du vil blive engageret i livlige samtaler om dem
Vi kører forbi et fiskemarked. Dybhavsfiskeri foregår ikke med store trawlere, men ved brug af små både. Hver dag begiver fiskerne sig ud i havet og kommer tilbage med fangst, som derefter sælges på stranden
St Georges katedral er en storslået kirke bygget af briterne i 1815 ved hjælp af en lotterifond. St. George's indtager en vigtig plads i den protestantiske kristendoms historie i Indien. Kirken har nogle fantastiske farvede glasvinduer, samt meget interessante mindesmærker, tavler og statuer. Vi vil også gå en tur i kirkens kirkegård - en af de ældste anglikanske kirkegårde i Indien. Hvor uhyggeligt det end lyder, er det ikke, og det er ret fascinerende. Nogle gravsten har virkelig historier at fortælle her!
Egmore-museet er et af de fineste og ældste museer i Indien. Bronzeskulpturgalleriet er et højdepunkt og har udstillet nogle af de største antikke skulpturer, der nogensinde er lavet.
Pondy Bazaar er et blomstrende marked, og vi vil gå igennem

The tour was minimal hassle (hotel pick-up and drop-off), comfortable (airconditioned private car), and informative (tour guide is informative and experienced). We learned a lot from the friendly guide and had a great time seeing a mix of Indian and British historical sites, including museums.
I have been in Chennai many times for business but never had the time to see parts of the city. This tour gives you a great overview of Chennai. I can highly recommend it and also thanks to our tour guide Ramesh who did a fantastic job.
Chandan is an expert guide and historian of Chennai and India. He is one of the best tour guides I have met with one of the best driving and backing I have seen in a while.
Haha, thanks for the review Richard! But let’s not forget I couldn’t back into that parking spot that day, there wasn’t enough space! Thank you being patient while I tried and for being an excellent customer!
I had an amazing Chennai City Tour experience with my guide Ramesh. He was really helpful, offering great explanations about Southern Indian culture and religion. Also he make up for weekly close of Fort St George Museum, visiting the beautiful Daksxhina Chitra. My best ratings!
I didn’t realise it was a private tour. Guide was very well informed and I got an awesome history lesson. Saw the highlights as I had to catch a plane later that afternoon
Chandon provided me with just the day I was hoping for, punctuated by wonderful, stimulating and thoughtful conversation. Don't hesitate to engage him!
Chennai is a culturally rich environment with major Hindu and Christian sacred places and important British colonial relics. My visit offered an excellent introduction to them all. The guide was quite knowledgeable and a pleasure to travel with. A really delightful day!
I went on the Mahabalipuram tour with my two children ages 9 and 12. Chandan interacted wonderfully will the children and made the tour fun. The area was beautiful and Chandan was very knowledgable about the sculptures and stories. We will be returning to Chennai and look forward to booking another tour!
It was unfortunate that the museum was closed because it was booked on Friday, We enjoyed the Wildlife Preserve and Takhini Hot Spring tour. We also took some time to take pictures. It was great to take a lot of photos. I am very grateful to my guide, SK. Thank you very much.
Fantastic and immersive day tour of Chennai My wife and I recently took a day tour of Chennai and it was an incredible experience! Our guide, SK, was knowledgeable, friendly, and ensured we made the most of our time. The tour covered all the major attractions, including the Kapaleeswarar Temple, Fort St. George, and the Marina Beach. We also got to try some delicious local cuisine at a popular restaurant. We also travelled in a comfortable SUV. What impressed me most was the guide's ability to share insightful stories and anecdotes about Chennai's history and culture. It made the tour feel more immersive and engaging. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Chennai. It's a great way to experience the city's rich heritage and vibrant culture in a day .
