What You Will Do
A private day tour designed to show off Chennai's cultural beauty
Start an immersive trip through Chennai, the city that beats the heart of Tamil Nadu and is known as the center of India's long political and cultural history. Chennai is known as the "Gateway to South India," even though it doesn't have any famous sites like the Red Fort or Marine Drive. This is because it is the oldest modern city in India.
The Coromandel Coast wraps around this city, making it a treasure trove of unmatched charm. Chennai is famous for its beautiful beaches, intricate textiles, historic sites, soul-stirring Carnatic music, and captivating classical dances. It has an old-world charm that comes from its rich history of trade, culture, and building.
Its story is told through a rich tapestry of colonial effects from the times of the British and French. Chennai is like a miniature version of Asia; it is full of different kinds of people, cultures, and customs that have been around for a long time.
