Enjoyed the tour immensely. It was made even better with Mario who had great knowledge and took us interesting places, especially the locals house. The car and driver were also good.

Thank you Anita it was an exciting tour of Goa with you and your friend. It was my pleasure to showcase the different sights of Goa we visited and sharing my knowledge of Goa with you.

Truly Knowledgeable Tour Guide

November 14, 2019

I was so grateful to have Mario guide me, according to my interests, through Goa. Rather than a trite, memorized speech at each stop and step of the way, Mario knows all the background deeply. He’s clearly studied and delved into the history, art, food, environment, industries, and languages of Goa, and he’s a local. If you have a question, he’ll answer in detail. He’s also a great conversationalist, but not incessantly babbling on like some guides.

He also gave a thoughtful gift representative of an unplanned bonus on my tour: seeing a coconut picker up in a tree on the road!

Mario goes above and beyond

Mario was a fantastic tour guide. We had a full day packed in with a lot of sites to see, and provided us with very clear historical information for every site. Not only that, but Mario goes above and beyond to ensure that the customer has a good time and has their needs provided for, with appropriate stops of food and water and times to rest and enjoy the sites! From historic forts to famous churches, so riding elephants, our day was packed with so many fun things and so many memories made! If I ever came back to Goa, I would definitely go with Mario again as a tour guide!
