“Two of us did a Heritage tuk-tuk tour with Padma & Priya around Pondicherry & amazing what we learnt & saw. The girls were knowledgeable with information & driving. The flower market was a real highlight. Thanks so much & will be recommending to friends who visit Pondicherry to learn deeper insights to this charming French- Tamil town.”

“I enjoyed the heritage tour- I’ve been to Pondy a few times but this time on this tour I could appreciate the deep history behind all these beautiful buildings. Vignesh was courteous and accommodating of my request for a last minute tour, and is a really good guide- recommend!!”

“Wow, our bicycle tour was the highlight of our trip. Venkat taught us so much about Pondicherry. He was very generous with his time and hid love for his hometown showed through the stories he told us. Don’t be intimidated by bicycling. If you’re comfortable with city biking you will be fine. Booking directly was also very easy.”

“Super se bhi upar Experience for us. We did 4 activities. Walking tour, Chidambaram, Auroville Tour and Sound healing on Venkat’s recommendations. All were better than other. knowledge and patience are key for best experience. We wish Venkat all the best!! And thank you.”

“Happened to take this amazing heritage cycle tour organized by Venkat Anna in the heart of pondicherry . If one wants to know about the rich history of pondicherry then this is one of the best ways to explore . Venkat Anna has got in-depth knowledge on this . Whether it's the main cathedral or notre dame , or the French quarters , indian quarters or muslim ones , anna takes you on a journey in time to know the depths of our ancient history in modern relevance. Also , don't forget to visit the peaceful Sri Aurobindo Ashram and the famous kappi house for some good coffee vibes. Overall , a great tour in 2 hours time .”

“Despite my last-minute request, they kindly organized a tour just for me! I joined because I wanted to learn about Hinduism, and even though I had almost”

“I’ve been living in Pondicherry for a few months and had already walked past many of the streets and buildings included in this heritage bicycle tour. What surprised me was how much I hadn’t really seen until Venkat explained the stories behind them. The tour was beautifully paced and covered the history of White Town, the French and Tamil architectural influences, Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Notre Dame des Anges, and several stunning hidden courtyards that I would never have noticed on my own. Venkat’s strength is not just his knowledge of dates and buildings, but his ability to connect history, culture, and everyday life in Pondicherry. By the end of the two-hour ride, the city felt less like a tourist destination and more like a living community with layers of history beneath its colourful facades. Easily one of the most memorable guided tours I’ve taken, and I would highly recommend it to both first-time visitors and people who think they already know Pondicherry.”

“We had a wonderful tour of Auroville, and everything was perfect from start to finish. The driver picked us up from our hotel and brought us back safely afterward, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Our guide was exceptional. He gave us a genuine idea of the life in Auroville. He was kind and always happy to answer our questions. We especially appreciated his philosophy of life, which made the experience even more meaningful. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Auroville!”

“It was great kayaking experience with the team, they were patient and explained instructions well ,easy for beginners as well and also on the rare experiences during the kayaking over circuit..Safe and must try experience!Hope you enjoy your kayaking as well..”

“Bala is a great instructor, he made our kayaking experience wonderful for a first timer. Our kids enjoyed the experience as well.”

“Our Wheat Bakes team had a fantastic kayaking experience in Pondicherry. The entire activity was well-organized and thoroughly enjoyable. A special mention to our guide, Mr. Bala — he was extremely friendly, professional, and guided us throughout the experience with great care and expertise. Highly recommended!”

“We went on the tour of Auroville, guided round the innovative and inspiring, spiritually rich Auroville by Gopi, an equally inspiring life-long resident there. You must go, it will change your life!”

“That was the highlight of my trip. Thank you very much for the biking experience around Pondi. The explanation was very clear and the guide very friendly. I highly recommend :-)”

“We had a wonderful kayaking experience in the beautiful mangroves of Pondicherry with our instructor, Bala. He was very kind and friendly, and made us feel comfortable right from the beginning. Before we started, he gave us clear instructions for about 10–15 minutes, which helped us a lot during the activity. The kayaking itself was peaceful and enjoyable. Throughout the kayaking session, Bala guided us really well, took us to the best spots, and even shared interesting facts about Pondicherry’s nature and history. He also clicked many photos and videos of us, which made the experience even more memorable! We were two females, and at no point did we feel unsafe—Bala made sure we felt secure, respected, and relaxed. He also gave us honest suggestions on where to go next and how to plan the rest of our day in Pondicherry. Overall, it was a fun, safe, and unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Pondicherry!”

“I found about this through Google search. I was initially sceptical, as the water was looking a little dirty, just like we have in Mumbai, but we went ahead nevertheless, as we had never done kayaking before. Sharon explained everything perfectly, and he helped us make this an extremely memorable experience. He also suggested us things to do and eat in Pondicherry, as we were new here. Overall, this place is much better than Goa, definitely something to consider. Lady luck blessed us as well, as there wasn't much rush before diwali. Something you should tick off on your bucket list.”

“Had an amazing time kayaking! Big thanks to our instructor (bala) for being so patient, friendly, and making it super fun. Highly recommend! Will definitely try again when I come back to pondicherry !!!”

“I spontaneously inquired about a cooking class and Venkat immediately organised it with his friend for the next day. Dhinesh picked me up and brought me to his home. It was a great experience! He was super nice, introduced me to his wife and parents, showed me how to cook two different dishes and had already prepared so many more! It was super delicious and I felt welcome the whole time. Can highly recommend the cooking class with Dhinesh!”

“Mr. Venkata Subramanian, our tour guide for Pondicherry was a real repository of knowledge and information about Pondicherry and its attractions. He was erudite and had a very sunny disposition. It really was great having him guide us through the interesting and historical details. He made it point to give us advice on not only the sights but also the vast gastronomic variety on offer. We were lucky to have him as a guide.”

“I took a guided tour of the French Town and the Tamil part of Pondicherry with Venkat. He's a knowledgeable and passionate guide. He extended the tour duration beyond the standard one and half hours so he could give me the complete guide. He's very well mannered and professional..”

“Venkat provided a great service from start to finish, and organized a memorable visit to a local medicinal repository—a special interest of mine. He is a knowledgeable and friendly guide, and passionate about Pondicherry culture in all its aspects. Highly recommmended.”
