Really entertaining tour - A really interesting and well planned tour. Joaquim, our guide was excellent and very entertaining. Our driver Marlon also did a fine job with both being real gentlemen. This is a perfect tour if you want to see a bit more of Goa outside the hotels, with lots of additional information on Goan history, life in Goa and India also included.

Old and new Goa key sites in one hit!!! - Great trip that captures the key sights in both old and new Goa as well as an educational spice plantation tour and local lunch. Our guide Joaquim was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant and answered every question we had with in-depth responses. For the Hindu temple you do need to remove shoes and socks to enter the complex. The spice plantation offers both veggie and non veggie options for lunch.

A must experience! - Caesar (tour guide) and Shivam (driver) were amazing! They picked us up and showed us all the Goan delights. Caesar has a wealth of knowledge when it came to the churches and temples and also gave me a little time off to get some shopping done. My partner's mother is Goan and Caesar kindly made a detour to show us around that area. The Spice Plantation is a very interesting stop too; Caesar and Pooja gave us the VIP treatment and the lunch was very tasty! Highly recommended tour to get an overview of Goa!

Excellent tour of Goa - This was an excellent tour of Goa. The tour guide was great, punctual, very knowledgeable, and entertaining. The driver was also great and the private vehicle was a newer car in excellent conditions. The food at the spice plantation was great and the staff was very friendly. The churches and temples visited were full of history and great memories and pictures. The tour was definitely worth it.

Goa 101- A day well spent! - I am so grateful that Cesar was my guide for this experience. There are regular guides, and then there are gifted guides, like Cesar. Guides who truly exceptional at what they do. The tour he took me on was very well done, surpassing my expectations. His identity as a native Goan, as well as his mastery of history makes him an astute storyteller of Goa's past. I could also tell throughout the interactions with locals during the tour that he is well respected in his community. I would recommend this experience to those who want to have a Goa 101 lesson- and if you can get Cesar, even better!!
