Not sure that I would do this tour again. This is not because of the guide but the sight. There is nothing spectacular about Auroville except the dome which we had to view from a distance. The rest of the tour of the city was good. Again, there was a problem with communication between the local office, Delhi and the guide regarding what was included in the tour. This took some time to be sorted out.
