What you can expect

Your private luxury tour of Chennai begins with a spiritual and architectural immersion. At the majestic Kapaleeshwarar Temple in Mylapore, your expert guide will decode the stories within its intricate Dravidian sculptures. You'll absorb the vibrant atmosphere, filled with the scent of jasmine and incense, experiencing one of the city's oldest cultural hearts.

A short journey away, the serene San Thome Basilica offers a beautiful contrast. This neo-Gothic cathedral, built over the tomb of St. Thomas, provides a moment of tranquil reflection, showcasing Chennai's harmonious religious diversity.

Next, indulge in a curated culinary experience at an exclusive restaurant. Savor a tasting menu of authentic Chettinad or Tamilian delicacies, from delicate dosas to richly spiced curries, all expertly explained by your guide.

Rejuvenated, you'll explore the Government Museum, home to the world-renowned Bronze Gallery. Here, your guide will bring to life the exquisite Chola-era masterpieces, including the iconic Nataraja statue. The ancient art theme continues with a dynamic Kalaripayattu martial arts demonstration, a breathtaking display of agility and power (subject to availability).

As the afternoon mellows, a drive along the vast Marina Beach during the golden hour offers a perfect photo opportunity. The tour culminates with a visit to the Kalakshetra Foundation emporium, a premier showcase for authentic handloom silks and traditional crafts, where your guide will help you appreciate the heritage behind each piece.

Your day concludes with a comfortable return transfer, leaving you with rich memories of Chennai's soul. Should you wish, we can secure reservations for an unforgettable dinner at a premier city venue.
