Beautiful Divar Island - The Tour with Swynne was really good. She brought me to really nice and calm places on the Island. Lunch in the house of a local family was so great - local food cooked with love. Swynne had such a cheerful nature and she was so lovely!

Divar island - One of the best experiences we had in Goa! Visiting Divar Island was truly special, and our guide, Pawan Kalyan, made it unforgettable. His storytelling and deep knowledge of the history behind each place kept us completely engaged—we didn’t even realize how quickly time flew. The walk through the island felt immersive and authentic, giving us a real sense of Goa beyond the usual tourist spots. The highlight was the high tea at a local resident’s home, which added a warm and personal touch to the entire experience. A big thanks to Pawan and the Make It Happen team for such a wonderfully curated guided tour. Highly recommended!

Offbeat - Had a great time with a bunch of strangers led by a very knowledgeable local guide touring an overlooked part of Goa. This is what Goa must have been like before tourism got commercialised.

A great visit to a quiet island - We had a great day at Divar Island. Swynne brought us closer to the beauty and peculiarities of the island with great enthusiasm. It was once a different view of part of Goa, and we had enjoyed enjoying the tranquility of the island away from the hustle and bustle of the city and without mass tourism. The highlight was a lunch at the home of a Goan family with a great hostess and good Feni. Last but not least, we were impressed by the small talk of a singer with songs. Thank you Swynne!

A beautiful morning spent... - We had a most wonderful morning !!. This was our second experience with Make it Happen. Swynne was our story teller and what a mast story teller she is...Having someone taking you through the history of our land is the best way to enjoy and immerse oneself in the culture of a place. A must recommend for all. Suggest morning slot as Feb is now getting warmer by the day. We also had a gentleman sing for us at breakfast which was just beautiful.

Thankyou Swynne. Fabulous trip. - Amazing trip, mainly due to our fantastic guide Swynne. She was a pure delight and taught us more about the history of divali than I thought possible. A great afternoon/evening topped off by high tea with great company and fantastic hosts. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of visiting.

Essential to do in Goa! - We have tried four experiences through the company. You have loved each and every one of them tremendously. Would recommend trying at least one of their guided tours and I am sure it will be an integral part of your Goa trips. You get to see a side of Goa that you did not know existed.
