Overview
Riding in a "tuk-tuk" (Autorickshaw) is a fun experience in itself and very unique to Asia. You can hop on and hop off at places of interest. You will be visiting some truly local and significant "Must see" spots along with a few off the guide book spaces that range from ancient temples, gothic churches, crafts markets, artisans, and a beautiful summer palace.
This tour also includes a traditional southern Indian Brunch or Lunch which you can choose as you trail along.
This is a guided experience and includes a meal.
Note: Some of the tour attractions cannot be experienced on Sundays/ Public holidays as they would be closed, that being the silk weaving and dyeing units. However, we do have an alternative option to walk about the jewellers & crafts/fabric street/market and visit a unique temple known for black magic and voodoo.
