Our guests' experiences

Excellent customer service from Sangeetha and Karthik. Booked 3 months earlier for the photoshoot session but did not reconfirm until the actual day. They were polite and kind enough to arrange for a session. Everything was very professionally done.

It was a special experience for me.Sangeetha is so kind and make me relax. Saree was really beautiful.Makeup was perfect! I want to do again,if I'll have a chance. Thank you so much!

Sangeetha was an amazing host! We enjoyed our time learning about Indian cooking and Indian culture. She also gave us a number of recommendations for other things for us to do while we were in India. I could not recommend this experience more if you are looking for a personal and intimate experience.

Not only was I made to feel welcome in Sangeetha’s home , but she and her mother explained the health benefits/ purpose behind every ingredient as well as the care in selecting the cooking utensils for each dish.

Sangeetha was a wonderfully warm host who helped my friends and I enjoy a fun afternoon shopping in Chennai. Sangeetha had great local knowledge and tailored the experience for us perfectly.

Great experience to get orientated in Chennai. Sangeetha was a great host. Made us feel really welcome. Visiting a Sari shop specialising in wedding outfits was a highlight. Such amazing colours.
