Traveler Recommendations & Testimonials

Real stories and heartwarming words from travelers who explored South India and Auroville with Shlomit

Even if you’re not the type for a guided tour, sometimes it’s good to trust someone to take you to the right places. And if so, Shlomit. I know Shlomit from Facebook, but we never had any contact until I arrived in Auroville. When we arrived in Auroville, I got in touch with her and she happily met us. She dedicated time to us and gave us wonderful recommendations that only a local can give. Shlomit is lovely, very present and approachable. Highly recommend❤️

Shlomit, thank you for the stunning ring! I was worried about ordering a ring without seeing it and trying it on, but it turned out absolutely gorgeous and the delivery arrived within a day! Thank you for your patience and dedicated service🤍🙏

I wanted to say a huge thank you for the amazing trip! The itinerary was well planned and packed with content and special, diverse experiences. We especially enjoyed the delicacies we learned to prepare and the fascinating stories about this wonderful place. We were left wanting more. A huge thank you!!!

Letter of Recommendation

I am writing this letter with great pleasure, to highly recommend Shlomit and the special service she provides to travelers in Tamil Nadu. Shlomit opened the door for me to a world I did not know. Through her, I was exposed to the rich Indian culture, local customs and ways of life, and received in-depth explanations about life in Auroville and the lives of expats in the nearby villages and cities. She knew how to present the places not merely as tourist sites, but as real places of life with context and meaning. We spent time together in Pondicherry and toured Auroville, and Shlomit's recommendations greatly enriched the entire experience. She knew exactly where to eat, what to see, and what simply could not be missed, and she did so from personal and genuine acquaintance with the place and its people. I left her, equipped with knowledge, good recommendations, and the confidence to continue the trip independently. Anyone looking for a deep and authentic experience in Tamil Nadu — is in good hands. With warm recommendation,
