Published on Sep, 2024

The guided city tour of Pondicherry was an enjoyable experience. Our guide, a knowledgeable local, demonstrated good hosting skills and genuine care for our comfort and enjoyment. His attentiveness and accommodating nature added to our overall experience. We explored a variety of significant sites throughout the city in a comfortable air-conditioned sedan. There was never a dull moment; we built a good rapport with him and discussed a range of topics. Additionally, he went beyond expectations by offering to assist with personal errands, which we appreciated. Overall, his dedication made the tour memorable and worthwhile. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors. If you’re seeking a similar experience in Pondicherry, this guided tour is highly recommended.

Memorable & Enjoyable tour. Will recommend it to anyone.
