Mahabalipuram & Kanchipuram with 5 Senses
W2306YIbernardf
, Dec 2019
This was one of 3 tours we did with 5 Senses. All went very well, including an excellent guide, Kannan, good driver, and lovely Indian lunch. This is a trip that is well worth doing. It is grat to get out of the bustle of Chennai, and the sites are well worth visiting. Unfortunately we had some heavy rain on our day, so didn't get the best out of the trip. But fortunately 5 Senses provided some excellent photos so we could see what it would have looked like in sunshine!

Muy contenta con el trato recibido, con el recorrido y con mis dos fantásticos guías: Vijay y Ramesh. Soy Española y mi inglés no es muy bueno, además viajé sola y fue muy pero muy enriquecedor. Vijay sabe mucho sobre historia y gastronomía, siempre abierto a consultas. Fantástico!!! Very happy with the treatment received, with the tour and with my two fantastic guides: Vijay and Ramesh. I´m Spanish and my English isn´t very good, I also traveled alone and it was very, very enriching. Vijay knows a lot about both history and gastronomy, always open to inquiries. Fantastic!!
