Chennai Private Tours

Chennai tours, Chennai private tours, personal tours, ToursByLocals
In steamy, spicy Southern India, the city of Chennai is a hub for travel in and out of the country, as well as the surrounding state of Tamil Nadu. Formerly known as Madras, Chennai welcomes travelers with open arms. Take a private Chennai tour to discover India's 4th largest city with a friendly local guide.

A morning or evening horseback ride along pretty Marina Beach is a great way to catch some fresh sea breezes and join locals out for a family stroll. Your guide will happily instruct you on the best way to bargain for a deal in the Georgetown markets, and will also join you in a delicious "thali" lunch at a local restaurant. Out of Chennai, a trip to the holy city of Kancheepuram will let you experience spectacular Hindu temple architecture from the 8th to the 16th century.

Your guide is happy to customize a private Chennai tour that suits your unique travel interests in Chennai and Tamil Nadu - the heartland of Southern India.
