It was a wonderful Tour, so informativ and inspiring. Culturawise and historically. We were so pleased by the variety of Impression

It's very nice event. This is my first time I attended Ceremony.

Dhanabalan picked me up on point and then we went into the temple. I learned a lot, from basics to detailed information you just can get from a local. Without him I would be lost in this big temple complex and wouldn't understand a lot of things. Thank you for your time and I wish you the best.

We treated ourselves to a private full-day “GuruWalk” tour with Dhanabalam in Madurai. We began at the local vegetable market, continued through the wholesale banana market and the famous Murugan Temple, and finished at the vibrant flower market. We were truly impressed and learned so much about the religions, culture, and history of Tamil Nadu. Because of the heat, we were glad to combine taxi rides with walking. Without our guide’s professionalism, we would never have experienced Madurai in such a meaningful way. It’s an absolute must! 😎🙏🥰☺️

Dhanabalan is a tremendous professional tour guide. He has a deep knowledge of Tamilnaru culture and India/Hindu history that would make your walking tour fantastic!

Dhanabalan was a passionate and knowledgeable guide. It was very interesting to hear him explain about the various temple rituals, Thiruvalluvur and the differ aspects of Tamil history. He also recommended good places to shop and eat and other interesting sights. If you love history and looking to learn more, he is the best person to go with

We had a truly divine time with Dhanabalan. He is a learned and wise individual, who instantly made us feel at ease. He was knowledgeable and engaging. We did not want the tour to end - it was that good!!! We highly recommend him, if you are in Madurai! Thank you once again Sir.

Mr. Dhanabalan Perumal was very accomodative throughout. My parents wanted to join the tour at the very last minute so he was kind enough to ensure that they got their breaks to rest in between. He also met us at a gate closest to us rather than insisting we meet at the designated point for he thought it would be easier for my parents. He was highly knowledgeable and gave us view points from all perspectives making the visit to the temple even more meaningful. His detailed explanations made the walk truly memorable. We are grateful to him for a wonderful experience.

Dhanapal was very professional! Really appreciate his time and effort! Thanks

I would just like to express my gratitude to Dhanabalan. He took me into the temple where I was so out of my depth and comfort zone. He explained really well the, in my opinion, such complex and complicated aspects of Hinduism. The temple itself is amazing and the people so friendly and welcoming. Thank you for such a lovely evening sir.

Dhanabalan was an extraordinary tour guide. He was really friendly, knowledgeable and professional. His English is perfect and you can see he really loves sharing his culture. First of all, he recommended starting early to avoid the heat and see the elephant temple, which we wouldn’t even have known about if it wasn’t for him. Then he showed us around, stopping at very interesting landmarks, sharing stories and always making sure we were comfortable. He was nice to talk to, very attentive and informative. Getting to know Madurai was a great experience and having Dhanabalan there made it a lot better. 10/10

Dhanabalan was an extraordinary tour guide. He was really friendly, knowledgeable and professional. His English is perfect and you can see he really loves sharing his culture. We really enjoyed the night ceremony and definitely recommend doing it with Dhanabalan. He knew exactly where to stand and where to go to see it without hassle. It was a great experience and having Dhanabalan there made it a lot better. 10/10

Dhanabalan was a great host. He shared a vast amount of knowledge of Tamil culture, religion and Madurai. He English was excellent and he checked regularly that I understood the information & answers lots of questions. Great guide, great tour to see parts of Madurai that are not obvious for a tourist. 100% recommend

We had a nice experience with the ceremony in the Meenakshi Amman Temple. Dhanabalan is friendly and enthusiastic in his storytelling. It is clear that he has a passion for his city, state and language. He introduces what the ceremony is about, and explains the steps, before you witness it yourself. That is good, because during the ceremony itself there's not really the occasion to talk about it. The ceremony feels a bit chaotic, with many people around, some movements from one place to another, and sometimes it's difficult to see exactly what is happening if other people are blocking the view. Afterwards Dhanabalan answers any leftover questions, regarding the ceremony, things to do in Madurai or any other questions. He also gives some nice recommendations, which is really valuable.

We enjoyed and learned a lot from Dhabalan in the ceremony tour. It was super interesting, super proffessional and realy good experiance. We also got great tips for our other trips. We highly recommend !!

Fantastic and unique experience! I really felt blessed to have experienced the night ceremony and had such a great guide to explain it all. Dhanabalan knew the best spots to witness the ceremony first hand and gave so much valuable information. Simple excellent. Don't miss the experience with Dhanabalan when you are in Madurai. Then you can go the next day to visit the temple and the thousands pillars at your own pace, it is unmissable while in Tamil Nadu.

Dhanabalan is a professional experienced & informative guide We spent a very pleasant & entertaining 4 hours with him We had a lot of questions for him about the Madurai temple and sites but also about Indian religion and life and he was able to answer at level we could understand and in perfect English We can strongly recommend Dhanabalan as a guide

Balan gave us a totally personalized tour with plenty of information about everything we wanted to know, like Hinduism, culture, society, architecture and the history of the places :) we can only recommend him as a tour guide

Fabulous way to visit the temple. Beware of traffic woes and start early to avoid large crowds. The tour was great and our guide was excellent with their knowledge of the temple and history. Enjoyed it immensely

The tour guide Dhanabalan Perumal made our walking city tour very interesting. Amazing attention to detail and knowledge. I would recommend him
