Amazing food tour - The food trail was an amazing experience, and Alita was an amazing guide. I enjoyed a lot talking about food, tasting some amazing dishes from Goan cuisine and wandering around the city experiencing the central market as well. I really recommend this tour, especially since Margao is a beautiful city in which its cuisine mirrors its cultural beauty!

Margao city food trail with Pawan - We did the Margao city food trail with Pawan. He is a story teller! We learnt a lot with him about that old city and about the small local histories. We also went to small local places to have snacks and drinks and we felt almost like locals. The tour takes place in south goan out of the main tourist places. But it’s worth it worth it the city is far from being crowded and the countryside is so green. You have to do that food trail !

Amazing experience to discover city and Goan food - We’ve done the food trail in Margao city with Pawan and it was a wonderful experience ! His way to tell the story of the city, the big History and small ones, is amazing ! He knows a lot about each details of architecture and he was very interactive with us. The city is really nice and the places where we had snacks and drinks are typically goan ! I recommend this tour. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An Engaging and Passionate Storytelling Experience with Pawan - I had a wonderful experience with Pawan on this trail. His knowledge is deep and his style of storytelling and the details he paid attention to made the whole walk very very interesting. For his age, the amount of passion he has for his work is highly appreciated and this was reflected during the 4 hour walk.

Would highly recommend - Pawan was a great storyteller, he gave such a good in-depth history of Goa, in particular Margao. The tour was very authentic and we got to try and experience things we wouldn’t have otherwise done, very much worth it!

nice, competent and recommendable - Pawan was a very nice guide. He knows a lot about Margao, Goa and the colonial history. The tour lasted almost 4 hours but the time went by really quickly. An absolute recommendation for people who want to get to know Goa away from the touristy areas.

Happy and Tasty Learning - This was just simply an enthralling 3 and a half hours with Pawan. We visited the church, and in its shadow, he told us in a delightful story book style of the relatively recent history of Goa, and as the tour progressed, he told us more of the ancient history, its leaders and legends. Interspersed with this we had three food stops sampling local delicacies, bread made in traditional ways and banana bread with five different flavoured accompaniments. He explained to us much about how life evolved in Goa and how different communities favour different foods and how houses have been constructed and temples have evolved. A trip which will take you away from the beaches and beer and give you an enjoyable way to learn more about where you are staying.
