Nice place but not properly maintained, water was stinking because of which standing their was quite uncomfortable. Can be made much better if good flowering plants are planted

Thanks Vijay for a wonderful day trip on a Royal Enfield. Due to my time constraints we had to modify the plan, but I still managed to have a great experience on the road. Winding in and out of Kanchipuram, the silk Saree capital, we were greeted by groups of wedding parties in their vivid red and glistening gold sarees, illuminating the streetscape. There is nothing like exploring India on an Enfield, it is totally immersive, you are part of the action, see it, hear it, smell it, taste it, while feeling the thumping Enfield engine propel you along for more. Then into the sanctuary of the temple with informative descriptions by Vijay of the stories, legends and history of this very holy site. Thanks for a great day! James

What can I say apart from wonderful. Got picked up from hotel by Jay and his driver who took us on a wonderful full day trip to the tip of India. Our guide Jay was wonderful. So knowledgeable about this beautiful country. Nothing was too much trouble. Any questions we asked were met with a wonderful detailed reply. Jay’s ability to enthral us in the stories and beliefs of gods were so wonderful to listen too. Thank you Jay. Stopped off for lunch at a local restaurant which was fab and then carried on for our tour. Our driver was great. The roads are manic but we felt very well looked after. The whole trip was wonderful and detailed. Great value for money and would highly recommend this trip to anyone. Returned to our hotel 12 hours after we started. Loved everything about this tour. Thank you xxx
