Excellent walking tour with 5senses In Chennai - I went solo on the British architecture walking tour from 5senses. The tour was great and I enjoyed viewing, and when possible, entering multiple grand and beautiful buildings designed by the British but built by local Indian labor. My guide Hareesh was excellent. Very knowledgeable, has outstanding english and a lot of fun and interesting to walk with. I also enjoyed the short local train ride we took from one of the amazing British designed train stations and a tuktuk ride so we could see more sights which was really needed given May is the most hottest (and i mean HOT, and HUMID month of the year). I highly recommend 5senses and Hareesh my local Chennai guide and am glad I have already booked another tour with Hareesh fron 5senses for tomorrow too.

British architecture in Chennai - Had a great morning with Hareesh visiting several British colonial buildings. We also took a train ride on a local line and had a coffee in a local café which was very flavourful. Hareesh is a very personable and knowledgeable guide and is keen to share his insights on the architecture of the buildings visited. I can highly recommend this tour. Five stars!

Friendly and informative tour. - What an unexpected delight. I was looking forward to seeing some of Chennai's less visited sites but this was insightful, well delivered and gave a balanced context of British colonial influence. I think I took us off the planned agenda but Hameesh took it all in his stride and made it a truly enjoyable experience. Chennai is now a special place to me.

Great tour with Hareesh - This was the first tour I did with Hareesh and it was the perfect introduction to Chennai. He was waiting for me at the agreed time at Egmore Railway Station and gave a very useful overview of the architecture we were going to see. I enjoyed listening to Hareesh talk about the different British-built buildings as we walked around this part of Chennai. We also got to experience a ride on a local train. Hareesh is a great guide - knowledgeable, enthusiastic and personable. He also kindly gave me some suggestions for other things I could do in the city for later in the day. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend taking a tour with Hareesh. Great to see a company like 5 Senses offering a different, immersive kind of tourism.

Highly recommended - We had a great experience. It was really interesting to see how styles from different cultures came together in the conceptualisation of the original Chennai. Our guide, Hareesh, took us on a train journey from Egmore Station to Chennai Central, and after exploring the area, we ended up in a typical coffee shop - a pleasant end to the afternoon.

Walking tour - Hareesh is an exceptional guide who brings the culture to life and explains things in a story telling way that is fun. His English is exceptional and the best of any guide I had in India. He knows his stuff and has a great way to Sharron. He keeps it interesting and is fun to listen to. The tour was well wirth it!!

Great tour with a wonderful guide! - Superb tour of British colonial buildings in Chennai by Hareesh who is an absolute gem: friendly, knowledgeable, impeccable English, and a joy to talk with and learn from. We went at the perfect pace and never felt rushed; he even waited for us so that we could walk through the museum at Fort St George. The tour ended with a short stop for some sugar cane juice, which we had never had before and was a real treat. Totally worth the money, and appreciated the confirmation from Five Senses the night before and the text from Hareesh in the morning to let us know that he was on his way to meet us. You will see a lot and learn a lot about the British in Chennai / Madras. Highly recommended!

Eye opening informative tour of Chennai - This was a half day tour of some famous sites in Chennai City showcasing British architecture. For someone who's lived a long while in the city it was an eye opener to see how the British fused various architecture styles including Indian to create imposing buildings. Hareesh our guide was well informed pleasant and patient

Comfortable waking tour - Very comfortable and professional guide, Mr. Srikrishnan, and helpful with other traveling info about Chennai. I will recommend.

Wonderful afternoon in Chennai - We had some spare time on arrival in Chennai and had a wonderful afternoon with Srikrishnan on the British Architecture tour. He picked us up on time, with an excellent driver in a well maintained car. Both were really accommodating and ensured we were safe and comfortable. Srikrishnan was very knowledgeable and happy to expand and explain in answer to all our questions. He provided a tour of the main buildings we had seen in photos of Chennai and even a trip on a local train between sites. It was lovely to have the photos brought to life by Srikrishnan and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him as a guide and this tour.
