Event Schedule

Best Tour!! Once upon a Madurai is in the ‘Top 3’ of my 12 day trip. Swarna was a fantastic story teller, engaging and easy going. You will learn about the ‘heart’ of Madurai.

I had recently enrolled in the Exploring India 101 workshop. It was such a wonderful experience. The narrators Akila, Lakshmi, and Nayantara were knowledgeable and so charming. You can see they were  passionate about their stories and had childlike enthusiasm the whole session. The stories were well told and they kept the audience engaged throughout the session. They also kept the audience alert by asking crucial rapid fire questions at the end. I can’t wait for the next set of workshops!

What a refreshing change from the guides that you hear stating the obvious. Through tales, stories, legends Madurai reveals herself.

The trail provided a sneak peek into the importance of gold in Indian culture. A must do! We can’t wait to do the other StoryTrails!

What a way to explore the little French Riviera! I am not new either to walking tours or to Pondicherry and yet I was surprised by both. I had taken the Moscow Free Tour when I was in Russia last year. For a long time, I considered it one of the best tours I’ve done. But French Connections has blown me away with it’s the attention to detail and depth of research. The stories of generals and generals, wine and women came alive and took us back in time.
