Georgetown heritage walking tour of Chennai’s first settlement

About This Experience

Step into the labyrinthine alleys where Chennai began. This isn't a "tour"—it's a portal to the 17th-century East India Company trading post. As a Ministry of Tourism-approved organization and proud IATO member, our Cultural Evangelists reveal the city's hidden power structures.

• Trace the legacy of the elite Armenian bankers, whose global financial reach once dictated trade, and the enigmatic Dubashes—the bilingual power brokers who wielded the real influence behind the colonial throne.
• We navigate the vibrant chaos to uncover the secret architecture and stories of the diverse merchants who built Old Madras.
• Winners of the Outlook Responsible Tourism Award 2025, we ensure your journey directly supports the local merchants and guides who keep this heritage alive.
• Experience the grit, the glory, and the hidden history of Chennai.
