Heritage walk in Pondicherry - The French quarters walk is fascinating one. 5 senses walks had provided a wonder guide. We saw fascinating french buildings and a colour indian temple as well. There are so many stories about this region which are amazing. I would highly recommend this walk to anyone who wants to understand Pondicherry a little more.

Wonderful way to explore Pondy's French Quarter - I love learning about India's incredible history, and Pondicherry's is pretty unique. Vinoth was a wonderful guide on a relaxed and very informative stroll through the streets of Pondy on a Saturday afternoon. Well worth it!
