Tour Description & Additional Info:

  • Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
  • Service animals allowed
  • Public transportation options are available nearby
  • Please advise any specific dietary requirements at time of booking
  • This experience includes a visit to a neighborhood supermarket rather than an open market. Due to traffic and the bustling nature of roadside vendors, the open market has become increasingly difficult to navigate, making the supermarket a more convenient and immersive option.
  • If you join Sundari for dinner or a weekend session, you’ll also meet her husband, Krishna—a true foodie who enjoys meeting new people and adding lively conversation to the experience.
  • If you prefer to learn to make a tiffin (South Indian dosas, idlis and vadas with a variety of chutneys and sambar) instead let Sundari know ahead of time.
