The tour was fantastic! Great communication from Jeul and Cross Travels Agency. Stanley and Ashwin are experts and true Goans. They know all the important sites and ways to get around safely. Very much enjoyed the great conversation, detailed professional tour explanation of Panjim, Aguada, Reis Magos, the deep history of Goa and all religious sites, churches, temples and religions of India. I could not ask for better guides for Goa! They are fantastic!!! All the treasures and history of Goa are right there with Stanley and Ashwin. Highly recommend and looking forward to returning back to Goa! They made it very memorable and give them 5 stars plus.

A great trip with Sachin and driver which covered many topics of interest regarding Goa and the history of the region. We went far and wide from the new capital city to old Goa.
Such a knowledgable guide and such a safe driver.

Trip was nice. Lots to hear, wonderful things to see. Our guide was especially helpful...............

Traveler beware of the bait and switch. This tour is advertised as a private tour, but I ended up having multiple other parties in a large bus and single tour guide. This is a large group tour and the tour operator declined to address this discrepancy with me after the tour finished.

Great cruise day tour, good overview of Goa. Well timed, prompt pick up & return. Our guide Cleo was excellent, pitched the info perfectly & answered all our questions. Bus & driver really good too.

If visiting Goa, avoid Calangute Beach. Crowded, noisy and dirty.
Visit the best Churches and walk the old Portuguese neighborhood in Old Goa

Excellent tour. Excellent guide. He was very frank and open about life in Goa. It was very interesting. We enjoyed his commentary and the ensuing discussions. Goa's history is fascinating. The walk through the old residential area was especially interesting.

This tour was great, we were picked up directly outside of immigration at the Goa Port after getting off our ship. Our tour guide, Sachin was really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The tour is based around history and Goan culture, if this is what you’re looking for then this is right up your street. After walking around the area, the air conditioned bus and bottles of water are an absolute dream.

This was our first time in Goa and this tour captured everything we were looking for. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly!
Robert_L, Dec 2024
Exhilarating (and tiring if you are over 70). Our guide was beautiful person who relished her work.
I personally liked the last part of the tour the most, the museum for the liberation warriors even thought I was exhausted by then
Jaclyn_L, Dec 2024
Great tour our group are very happy. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and the driver was excellent. We will definitely recommend to our friends back home
Graham_S, Mar 2024

Aysha_G, Mar 2024
We had a great experience. Our guide Antonio was really knowledgable and explained really well. Would definitely recommend.
Roseann_V, Feb 2024
Would definitely take this excursion again. Manual was right on time (actually early) and easily spotted when we arrived Manual was an excellent guide. Very informative and attentive. I highly recommend him. Nicolas (sp?) drove like a pro, keeping us on the road. Which is not so easy in Goa. We are very happy we took this tour.
Conorjames_M, Jan 2024
My tour guide was excellent. His English is excellent and his historical knowledge is excellent. I’m coming back to Goa in the next few months with my fiancé, I’m definitely going to bring her to this because it was excellent
Rachel_K, Jan 2024
