Chennai to Puducherry Destination Reviews

NR
The trip itself was comfortable, but company sent me gps coordinates of pick up point and then called to tell me they were unable to pick me up at that point. So I’m a mad rush I had to find transport to take me to the pick up point specified over the phone (after much confusion)! This incurred additional costs and stress….
