Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I visited on the day of gurupurnima. I did a last minute booking and sathish was extremely helpful and immediately responded to my queries about the booking. I did a day trip from Chennai and came back the same day. He made sure I reached the correct pick up location. That day cars were not allowed in the city due to the festival and Sakthi came to pick me up on his bike. He was polite, safe and a very sweet. He made sure I was careful while climbing down the hill, which I found a bit difficult because we were barefoot. He made sure I had adequate time to meditate at various points in the beautiful quiet caves and ashrams.
I highly recommend booking with them if you're looking for a day trip.
The ashrams is beautiful , with many peacocks, monkeys and trees!
The day of Purnima is when devotees travel there to do the pradakshina of the holy hill so it was very crowded, but it was a lovely atmosphere to see hundreds walking the street ,barefoot for many kilometers.
The darshan of the main temple however wasn't possible for me as it was a huge line...the paid line was 2hours long as well and I was short of time.
Over all had a lovely day, as they made sure I saw maximum things in a short time and very punctual, polite and warm.
Thank you to Sathish and Sakthi.

Itinerary is very vague. Can you please explain the details what if Girivalam and temple is included in this? And we have a guide?
