Plus, exploring with a guide means that you’ll discover info that you’re unlikely to find in the guide book.

As a solo traveller I was well taken care of by Dnyandeep. He was very knowledgeable about all locations. The tour turned out to be much better than described in the aviator itinerary. We did so much, it was truely a great time for my first time in Goa.
