Interesting trip - It was very interesting seeing Auroville and Pondicherry. I enjoyed it very much. It was quite a long drive from Chennai though.

Great tour - This was a great tour of the area. The focus was really more on Auroville and its movement rather than Pondicherry. My guide went into great detail about the movement’s spiritually and we also visited their ashram in Pondicherry. We also did some sightseeing in Pondicherry but it wasn’t the focus as much.

Amazing day and experience - Auroville, learning about the Mother was a moving and spiritual experience. Pondicherry was simply lovely, the beach, the museum and the temples and French buildings. Most of all our guide Sonu was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about your beautiful country. She was amazing throughout the day. Our driver was brilliant. Don’t think I could ever drive here.

Nice and interesting day-trip - This was a fascinating and wonderful day-trip to Auroville and Pondicherry. The local guide (Smiriti) was most informative with a great sense of history. Smiriti happily answered any additional questions or queries I had and would willingly take any photos at all of the stops. As it was a warm and humid day, there was always the offer of refreshments to maintain hydration. Thank you also to the driver. It was a comfortable journey in an air-conditioned vehicle and the driver offered rest stops in each direction of the trip.

Visit of Auroville. Beautiful walk in Pondicherry especially the French Quarter with lots of little stories. - The guide is very competent. In addition, he is perfectly bilingual: French - learned at the French Lycée of Pondicherry - and English. Moreover, he knows his subject perfectly well.
