Day tour from cruise port. Excellent comms before arrival and our guide Sachin was present went we left the ship and was great all day, providing lots of info on Goa and its history.
The day out in Goa included, the capital, old Goa, the cathedral, basilica, spice plantation and Buddhist temple. Delicious lunch provided. Back at port on time.
Recommended for anyone wanting an alternative tour

My brother-in-law, sister, my wife and I took a small group tour of Goa, and we were quite disappointed with our experience. The town's presentation was poor, with litter scattered everywhere, including in the jungle and along the beaches. The tour guide was underwhelming and didn’t provide much insight into the area. Additionally, the bus was old, uncomfortable, and had nearly no suspension, making the journey less enjoyable. Overall, it was not the experience we had hoped for.

Spice plantation was awesome. Overrall whole tour was excellent. Guide was vibrant and knowledgeable and provided insights into the place. Food was deleicious. Lovely welcome to spice planatation with a special drink and 'nasto' (indian for snack food). Then we had a tour with another knowledgeable tour guide from the plantation. Ended with gift shop selling a variety of quality spices and other goods. This tehn ended with a buffet lunch which was alovely ending to tour. Highly recommned this tour and Viator booking in advance.

Group of 13 people from a Cruise Ship, timely meet up at port. Left as scheduled, shared highlights as the trip progressed but did not over communicate. Hit all the major tourist sites. Combined walking with Van touring so was just the perfect balance. Had nice lunch at Spice Gardens, returned to ship on time. Friendly guide, safe driver who would meet up with us after each walk. Definitely 2 Thumbs up. No hesitation to book again!!

An enjoyable day with a visit to a church, temple, dutch buildings and a spice plantation for lunch It was very well organised by Amaze Tours and our guide for the day was Ceasar.
The roads to the plantation were very bumpy and the coach suspension could have been better. We were delayed by constant traffic jams and at one stage we came to a halt with neither side willing to give way. Ceasar did a great job acting as traffic warden, negotiating with cars, buses and bikes. The plantation tour was educational but | would have liked to have seen the processes involved in producing the spices. The lunch however was excellent

Great and knowledgeable tour instructor from Goa. Great air conditioned minivan with little walking and amazing sightseeing.

Everything was excellent. Our guide met the six of us promptly even though he had to wait for us to exit immigration. He took us to all of the highlights of Goa, both old and new. Our tour at the Spice Plantation and lunch were excellent. Our guide and driver were conscious of the time and safely got us back to the ship in plenty of time.

It was quite an experience to see how Christian churches coexist alongside Hindu temples. We were lucky to have a well informed guide who told us many interesting stories about the history of the place.

We were met on time at Goa port by a driver and guide. The vehicle was and air conditioned personnel carrier. There was only five of us in the group.
The guide had a good knowledge of Goa history. We visited a number of temples built by different ruling dynasties.
This was followed by a lunch which was disappointing to us and could have been omitted from the tour
Finally we had an interesting visit and tour to a spice plantation
A pleasant way to see Goa on a short visit

We took this tour by ourselves. The spice plantation was very interesting and got to see the resident elephant. We enjoyed a lovely lunch there as well. Our tour guide drove us around Goa. Enjoyed the Kingfisher beer as well. The only downfall was our own expectation of Goa. When watching the Bourne Movie 2 with Matt Damon we were expecting a little more excitement, like in the movie. Goa is lovely, probably would have been different if we would have a beach tour instead. But we still enjoyed our tour. Tour guide and driver were very good.

spice plantation visit very good and tour of old churches at old Goa excellent
