    We don't want to spill the beans and kill the excitement, so come on this walking tour and explore the city's gems that you would easily miss if you are exploring the city on our own. Though the highlights of the tour will be following 1. École Française d'Extrême-Orient - heritage building and library is home to over 11,000 Indology books and a series of Sanskrit, Tamil and Manipravalam palm-leaf manuscripts. 2. An embroidery eentre housed in a stunning 18th-century building and run by a local convent and supports underprivileged women. 3. A lane with old cafes, houses build in frech architecture, lively markets of Pondy. 4. Old lanes, houses, winding streets and Academy of Western Music 5. Bharati Park - the greenest attractions in Pondicherry along with important government buildings of Pondicherry surround this park. 6. A vibrant Hindu temple known for its elephant blessings, ornately carved stone walls & golden chariot. 7. A French War Memorial and Pondicherry Beach

    Walking companion not guide
    The tour guide was more of a walking companion than guide . He was not informed or knowledgeable . His introduction to every site was 2-3 lines . Although I booked a tour in English he preferred to speak in Hindi . He was a sweet person but did not seem to have any history background so was not able to tell me much .

    Beautiful city once ruled by the French. Superb food and a brilliant view of the Bay of Bengal. Unfortunately the beach is very littered

    See the inner workings of Pusicherey!
    Rohit was great but did not grow up in Puducherry so on one hand provided some good context but on the other hand was not a local. He spoke French (impressive) and we did some of the markets, Good way to walk the city.

    Small town , easy to get around
    A small tourist destination. Auroville was most interesting. The colonial history seems to be everywhere. The sunday market at MG road , excellent bargains.

    Exploring Auroville over a weekend
    We did an amazing exploration of Auroville during the recent long weekend. My wife's cousin who lives in Auroville showed us some rare and unique parts of Auroville. We did a couple of treks in the Aurolville forests (revelation farm) and did couple of farm tours (Sadhana forest and Solitude farm). Of-course we being vegans, we got the opportunity to indulge in vegan delicacies at Naturellement, Neem Tree, Sustenance farm and other places. Overall, we all had a wonderful time

    Guide didn’t arrive
    Unfortunately we did not go on the tour, the guide didn’t turn up. We messaged and called the tour operator, but no response. Throughly disappointed and a total waste of time. On the plus side Trip Advisor were quick to respond and confirmed we will have a full refund.

The walking tour that we all looked forward to did not go well. The guide Neerajkumar was helpful and pleasant and even adjusted his time to accommodate us.
But he did not know anything about Pondicherry and the sites. The history or significance of the place.

Guide was clueless. It was terrible and ended in 40minutes . It was a complete waste of time and money. There was no set route or plan and guide seemed extremely disinterested. We had to literally dig information by asking questions to salvage our time
