Authentic experience! - Ganesh was an amazing guide. We made several stops in Sowcarpet market to taste snacks we could never try anywhere else. Some of the food was quite spicy, so I recommend bringing water (although one of our stops was for delicious lassi to cool the heat). Also you might want to bring wet wipes because all the tastes were handheld finger foods, many with sauces. Highly recommend!

Great tour! - We had a wonderful food tour with Ganesh. He picked us up promptly in a nice clean car, and then gave us a fascinating tour of Sowcarpet Market. We tried so many new and delicious foods. We were stuffed! I highly recommend this tour, and Ganesh in particular.

Our highlight in Chennai. - This was a truly authentic and dazzling experience made possible by a very knowledgeable and personable guide. Thank you Neeshanth! We felt we stumbled onto something special as we didn't see other tourists and the places and the places where we stopped to eat were small 'hole in the wall' stalls or small restaurants. The food was epic!

Great fun - Neeshanth was a fantastic guide. He showed us the true delights of Chennai’s street food, made us laugh and offered a warm welcome to South Indian culture all while expertly dodging tuktuks. A trip not to be missed!

Food glorious food, but also a walk into the atmosphere of Chennai! - We had a short one day stop in Chennai and I am so glad we did this tour. Neesh our guide was warm and welcoming, he took us into bustling market streets that I would have avoided without a local guide. He took great care of us and was very diligent with navigating us through the traffic and people. At each stop he was informed about the food and had stories behind the dishes. Some of them were stories personal to him such as how many plates he could eat in one sitting! All the dishes were fabulous and this gave us the confidence to try things we never would have tried without this tour. Honestly really good value for money, a fab insight into the food and a walk and discussion on some of the history and sites within Sowmarket. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city.

Walking street food - Chennai - Neeshanth wa a great host on our street food tour . We tasted dishes that we would never have managed to order without Neesanth’s help . All the food was amazing and a great variety- from a refreshing spiced coffee to start to puris , lassi and more in between. We also saw a lot of the the early evening business of the local shops and stalls - and Neesanth guided us safely through the busy traffic! Come hungry and with comfy walking shoes !

Chennai Food Tour - We had a great time on this walking food tour. Neeshanth was really excellent, checking what we wanted to see and taste. We tried things we would never have got on our own and everything was really tasty. We did the 18.30 tour which meant the streets were very busy and exciting. Would recommend this highly

Best Tour I’ve Ever Been On - Nichee was an amazing tour guide! He is well educated on the cuisine and easy to get along with. This was the best tour l've ever been on! I feel like I really got to experience Chennai and experience something that many foreigners would be too afraid to do. I felt very safe with Nichee as a solo female traveler. I highly recommend this tour.
