Great Tour...you should take it!

This tour is a great experience for first timers to Goa who want to learn about the history of the area. Our guide Abhinav was friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely thoughtful about well being. Abhinav was a lot of fun and happy to answer my many many many questions about Goa.

Nice Goa Walk.

Our guide had a very good in depth knowledge of the church’s and history of Goa. My wife and I especially liked the remaining gate of the Shahs palace and the Holy remains of St. Francis.

Great experience!

A very detailed walking tour of old goa churches with a very knowledgeable guide Abhinav. Abhinav came armed with printouts, videos and personal anecdotes to fill in the blanks for things that are not possible to see. This truly added to the experience as it was above and beyond what I expected and is very much appreciated. Special kudos for acting as a photographer also! 100% would recommend
