IndiaI am here to give you 5 stars on request of my daughter who is attending your workshops 303. She loves your workshops. It amazes me how much she absorbs from these sessions and then processes the information for the rest of the day. Kohinoor, Mangoes , the British ...It's heartening to see her interested in topics which are otherwise challenging to introduce.

Thank you so much for offering this amazing camp!!!! Much delighted, appreciated and grateful for what you are doing. I am shamelessly eavesdropping from the next room and enjoying your content, your delivery and pace.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!

Singapore"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."

And listen to an excellent story teller describing the sacred origin of the dance, the infinite nuances of the performer’s gestures, with their evident or hidden significances. I’ll keep in my memory the beauty of that experience."
