Overall a decent tour with multiple locations covered

Sayantan_D, Mar 2024

Good cycling Experience, but was quite short. All areas written in the itinerary were not covered. It was the 1st cycling tour that I have ever gone on, but I'm sure the tours usually cover a lot more things. Further, the tour wasn't value for money at all.

The Wake Up Pondicherry Cycle Tour

KartikI, Oct 2023

We went as a couple in October’23 to the Sita Travels organised Wake Up Pondicherry Cycle tour. The tour took us through different areas of Pondicherry such as the French Quarters, the Muslim Quarters, The mixed Hindu quarters etc. The tour guide Manisha was friendly & enthusiastic but the trip felt okay ish. The major flaw in the tour is that you can tend to miss out on identifying places if you’re not cycling in close proximity to the guide & this is often as there are a good 7-8 cycles & the last person is a 10 - 15 feet away from the Guide’s cycle & may not be able to hear.

This was a great tour. Even though I...

Chris C, Feb 2016

This was a great tour. Even though I was the only person booked in it still ran. This tour provided an opportunity to visit a larger area than you would normally see when walking around. The guide also provided interesting background information to the history of the area. It is advisable to find the tour meeting spot if possible the day before, as it is a few streets away from the main Pondicherry area.

Découvrir Pondichéry en velo

paul_c, Mar 2023

Excellent moyen de faire connaissance de Pondichéry avec un guide qui vous fera découvrir la ville et son histoire. Après prenez votre propre veloet allez vous promener dans toutes les ruelles sans vous fatiguer (il n'y a pas de pente). Nous nous sommes nourris de belles histoires et de beaux points de vue , point de petit déjeuner.....
