Some confusion as to which of their tours we were doing (they took us to a first stop that was not on our itinerary) but they quickly corrected it and the rest of the tour was smooth. Guide is a Chennai native and very knowledgeable of the city and navigation. Excellent driver as well. Due to the mistaken first stop, we did not have time to stop at the Chennai Railway station, just did a drive by to view it. Overall though, it was a wonderful private tour and the highlight was definitely the street food tour of Sowcarpet!
