Fun Day in Pondicherry - My husband and I had a memorable day in Pondicherry with our guide Rajesh. We went to a temple, checked out several fun restaurants and got to spend time in Auroville. Rajesh provided interesting insights about the history of Pondicherry and was quite accommodating during the whole trip. It was a fantastic day!

Fabulous tour!! - We recently toured Pondicherry, the experience was a combination of French colonial charm and Indian culture. The town’s unique architecture, colorful streets, and serene beaches made it a peaceful getaway. Walking through the French Quarter, with its vibrant buildings, cozy cafes, and tree-lined avenues, felt like stepping into another world. The Promenade Beach offered stunning views, especially during sunrise and sunset, making it a perfect spot for relaxation. The food in Pondicherry was fantastic, with plenty of options for both French and South Indian cuisine. I particularly enjoyed trying out the French pastries and local seafood. The vibe of the town is calm, slow-paced, and ideal for unwinding. Overall, Pondicherry offers a charming blend of history, spirituality, and coastal beauty, making it an unforgettable experience.

Super tour of a beautiful town. - Wonder Tours has been good to me so I took a 3rd tour with them on this trip. Rajesh knows much about the history of India and keeps me interested as I learn more about the area. Pondicherry is a great trip and the visit to Auroville was interesting.
