“great experience at Madurai”

Reviewed 27th, January 2025

Both a Throughlocals manager and guide meet me at the hotel lobby, as promised. All went according to plan, and we did 5 stops, Palace, Temples, church, etc in about 4 hours. The guide and manager offered to continue the tour, if I wanted to go elsewhere, but I opted to head back and look ahead to supper. Overall, a private tour at group tour price. Money well spent. Thank you
