Excellent tour of centre sights - Kannan was extremely knowledgeable, answered all our questions in depth and made sure we took in the atmosphere of each location. He ensured we saw and understood everything possible and allowed us plenty of time to take in each location. The tour covers the city centre sights very well; I highly recommend this tour.

Amazing experience in Mylapore - Jainath was wonderful. He picked me up at the airport and managed the entire experience from admissions, to interactions and of course gave very helpful information on each of the 4 places we saw. He was also flexible and curtailed the trip to what I wanted to see and experience. I felt safe as a solo female traveler and saw a lot for within the half a day we spent together. I highly recommend 5 senses and Jainath

Very good walking tour of Mylapore - We did a great walking tour of Mylapore with Jainath from 5 Senses. He explained what we were seeing very clearly and answered all our questions. He told lots of interesting stories and was very generous with his time. Thanks so much for a great walk, Jainath.
