There was once I travelled Chennai solo and an eeriely similar thing happened to me. A guy just randomly walked up to me and took it upon himself to show me around a temple even though I politely waved him off countless times and gave him TONS of tight smiles as if to say, 'thank you but I don't need help'. I tried to keep my distance but he kept tailing me anyway, finding all kinds of opportune moments to inject a fact or two - and in the end, he actually asked me to pay for his 'tour services'! Like you said, the fee is always nominal (and I'm sure they know it is nominal, which is why they're relentless at it); but it just leaves a very very NOT pleasant after-feeling. I love India so much but sometimes I really wish I could get through one trip with like, less than 10 of these daily occurrences at every twist and turn.]]> I’m glad your tour guide experience worked out okay-ish but boy did it bring back some SERIOUS flashbacks for me! A disclaimer before I continue, that my dad was born in India and I’m half-Indian by ethnicity, so I have a very deep love and connection for the country – but it is not a blind love 😅, and every trip back for me has always been plagued with a thousand and one ‘micro-negative’ experiences like these!

I know the cost is not much, but like you said, this can be somewhat irritating and might lead to bigger problems in the future. And if they see that you’re obviously not local, I worry that they might charge a lot more. Thank you for being honest about your experience though.
