A great Goan excursion

December 31, 2022

We were a family of 8 and some visiting India and Goa for the first time. We were greeted at our hotel by Mario and a mini coach to take us on a memorable tour of Old Goa and the Bom Jesus Basilica, St Catherine’s Cathedral and then the tropical spice plantation in Ponda ending with a heritage walk in Panjim.

Mario is very knowledgeable, interesting and personable and guided us on the history of Goa under Portuguese rule and the liberation in 1961. He also showed us and explained the rituals of a very old Hindu temple near Ponda.

A very enjoyable day was had by all and Mario’s contribution made us all very relaxed. Thank you Mario.

Truly Excellent

We just completed a full day tour with Mario today. I can’t say enough good things about him. He was highly professional, flexible, knowledgeable, gracious and a genuine pleasure. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anybody. Both he and his taxi driver or consummate professional.

Fantastic Day Tour!

December 8, 2022

We had an incredible family day with Mario who showed us the beautiful sights of Goa. We have been to Goa before but Mario taught us a lot about Goan history and showed us many hidden gems. We especially enjoyed walking through & learning about Fontainhas and experiencing the wonderful spice garden. Mario was not only very knowledgable but also had a great sense of humour and could answer any question thrown his way. Highly recommended!
