The untouched natural beauty and the gentle rhythm of rural life create a deeply calming experience for travelers seeking peace and reflection.

It was a wonderful little spiritual tour (Chennai, Thiruvannamali, Auroville). As a 60-year-old first-time traveler to India, Christina helped me overcome all my concerns and uncertainties beforehand, gave me competent advice, always responded promptly, and spared no effort to make changes to the planning. I had a safe feeling from the start and was impressed by the high level of service. This was confirmed during the trip: everything went perfectly and I had an extra-prima-good time in colorful India. In any case, my driver Seenu and my Auroville guide Anantha Subbarayan also contributed to the unusually good success. I give both of them a standing ovation. Last but not least, my thanks also go to the local agency in Mamallapuram, Travel XS, with whom I hardly had any personal contact.
