Goa in a cashew nutshell….. - Dnyandeep is a fantastic and knowledgeable guide. And Amar is a fantastic driver. You definitely get your money’s worth and literally see the key sights in one day. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely day 😄 - We enjoyed the day very much indeed. Our guide Shailesh was friendly, knowledgable and accommodating, and our driver Prathamesh was driving safely and carefully. We saw a lot in one day. We particularly enjoyed the visit to the spice plantation, which felt more authentic and less commercialised than the one we visited with TUI. The setting was beautiful and the food was very tasty indeed. In the end we decided not to go on a mini river cruise but have visited the Latin Quarter in the city instead. The whole experience was a lovely mixture of sightseeing, culture, history and nature. We can recommend this tour whole-heartedly.

A full day in Gos's churches and historical sites - The tour guide was well informed, and I learnt a lot about old heritage houses and local residential areas, and he also took many photos of me near each attraction. Well worth a booking and certainly value for money. You'll feel exhausted towards the end of the tour due to the full-packed nature of the day. The only drawback of the tour was having to pay extra to be collected from my hotel, which was quite costly. Lastly, the meal at the plantation was really an added bonus.

South Goa in a day - Excellent trip - great combination of activities to cover South Goa in a day ! We stayed away from the pick up point and a car was arranged (extra cost) to collect us. The driver stayed with us all day but we had a guide at the churches and the spice farm who were excellent. Also some free time and a boat trip! Very relaxing, reliable and value.
