    One of our best tour experiences!

    LindaCowan_E, Feb 2025
    Had the best tour in Goa yesterday with Mario from Exotic Goan Excursions. He truly is one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. He will email you after booking your tour and ask you for any specific needs, what you like to drink etc. The car was comfortable, very clean and roomy with excellent A/C. His driver is super safe. He’ll have cold water/ soda for you and ice cold scented washcloths for you- it’s HOT in Goa! He is constantly anticipating your needs and watching the time so you have the opportunity to see everything. He meets you right outside the immigration area and on the way to the first stops gives you an in-depth history of Goa. He took us to a Hindu Temple first and gave us a very in-depth education on the Hindu religion and Temple practices. From there we visited the current capital, Panjim with its colorful colonial homes, cute streets and a wonderful bakery. We heard-so many stories and learned so much. Saw the city fruit and vegetable, flower and fish markets. From there we went to Old Goa and visited St Katherine’s Church and the Basilica that houses St Francis Xavier’s, the Patron Saint of Goa, bones. Had a delicious Indian lunch, then toured the spice plantation and spice market. Mario explained everything in depth and made the day fly by. He even goes through immigration with you at the port then his driver takes you all the way up to the ship. He left us with a little gift as well. Mario is a structural engineer by schooling but has a passion for history and has been doing tours for a very long time. He knows everyone it seems and it makes everything go very smoothly. He speaks perfect English and is so knowledgeable and kind. Do yourself a huge favor and book him - you will be so happy you did!!!
