Tidligere kendt som Porter de Gasper Dias af portugiserne, blev stranden omdøbt til Miramar, efter at Goa sluttede sig til de indiske stater. Det er en af de mest besøgte strande i Goa. Det er beliggende lige ved sammenløbet af Det Arabiske Hav og Mandovi-floden.
Hvis du er fan af elskere med stjerner som Romeo og Julie, vil dette sted helt sikkert øge din interesse. Det er opkaldt efter legenden om Dona og Paulo, to stjernekrydsede elskere, der begik selvmord ved at hoppe ud fra en klippe i landsbyen. Når de bliver spurgt om Dona Paulo, vil landsbyboerne vise dig marmoritbilleder af en mand og kvinde på klippen.
Indiens første lille basilika, Bom Jesus of Basilica, er en del af kirkerne og klostrene i Goa på UNESCOs verdensarvsliste. Det ligger i Goas gamle hovedstad, dvs. Old Goa, og rummer resterne af St. Francis Xavier
Se Cathedral de Santa Catarina blev bygget af portugiserne for at forevige deres sejr over en muslimsk hær i 1510. Beliggende i Old Goa, er dens smukke portugisisk-manuelinske struktur noget, du ikke må gå glip af. Det har en vis dresscode for de besøgende for at bevare stedets indretning
Shri Mangesh-templet blev bygget for 150 år siden under Maratha-styret, og dets oprindelige sted var Kushasthali. På grund af en Portugal-invasion blev Mangesh-lingaen flyttet til det nuværende sted i 1543. Det er et af de største templer i Goa og også et af de mest besøgte
Shri Shantadurga eller 'Santeri' er en familieguddom af mange Goud Saraswat Brahmins i Goa. Som et resultat blev dette tempel bygget af samfundet, efter at dets oprindelige tempel i Keloshi blev ødelagt i 1566
Nyd landskabet med en kulisse af tæt skov og hav
Fontainhas blev grundlagt i slutningen af det 18. århundrede af en velhavende portugiser ved navn Antonio Joao de Sequeira. Han brugte dette land til kokosnøddeplantager. Men i begyndelsen af 1800-tallet, på grund af spredningen af epidemien i det gamle Goa, blev det portugisiske regeringshovedkvarter flyttet til Panjim. Som et resultat blev dette område omdannet til boligområde for portugisiske administrative officerer og herskere. I 1984 anerkendte UNESCO Fontainhas som en kulturarvszone. En almindelig visuel påmindelse om portugisiske rester her er husene og hytterne bygget i kolonial arkitektur og malet i fluorescerende og pasteller. Ud over det kan navnene på de smalle brostensbelagte gader også spores tilbage til den portugisiske tid i Goa, for eksempel er Rua 31 de Janeira (31. januar Road) opkaldt efter den dag, hvor Portugal fik uafhængighed fra Spanien den 31. januar , 1640; og 18th June Street er opkaldt efter dagen i 1946, der markerede begyndelsen på afslutningen på det portugisiske styre i landet.
Beliggende omkring 6 km fra Ponda Village, har den uudforskede og uforurenede Keri landsby udbredt land med forskellige plantager og dejlige fugle. Udforsk naturen, når den er bedst med vores guide, mens du tager turen til disse smukke plantager og nyder duften af de friske krydderier, der vokser rundt. Afslut turen med den lækre frokost i Goan-stil.

We received a message to let us know when our taxi driver would pick us up from our hotel. We assumed he was going to drop us off to meet our tour guide. When he arrived he didn’t introduce himself or explain the process. After driving for 30 minutes or so he just pulled up outside a building and said “There’s the museum, you can go and have a look”! The plus side of this arrangement is that you can decide where to go, how long to spend and if you want to skip bits. I wasn’t feeling well so we were able to shorten the day. It’s also good value with entry to the Spice Plantation & lunch included. There just needed to be better information and communication about how this tour works. Some reviewers have mentioned a boat cruise but this was not offered in our itinerary. So if that’s something you’re looking forward to, best to contact the provider to clarify.
Highly recommend. Excellent tour guide who organized the South Goa tour very well, detailing all highlights, and giving adequate time at each place. Excellent car driver too.I was picked up at time and dropped off in time.
Interesting and varied trip. Good to see different places. Worth the time away from the beach Helpful
South Goa is the perfect destination for anyone looking for calm, beauty, and a relaxed vacation. Unlike the busy beaches of North Goa, South Goa offers a peaceful atmosphere with clean beaches, soft sand, and stunning sunsets. Visiting the spice plantations in Goa was an amazing and refreshing experience. The guided tour takes you through lush green plantations, where you get to see, smell, and learn about various spices and medicinal plants.
Our Goa tour with this company was extremely disappointing. The driver did not take us to all the locations listed in the itinerary — including Miramar Beach, Dona Paula, Se Cathedral, and Fontainhas. When we asked, we were told some of these places were “closed.” We were also never offered the river cruise that was clearly advertised. At each stop we did visit, the driver simply parked the car, told us to “get out and look around,” and then went to sleep. There was no guidance, no explanation, and no effort to make the experience enjoyable or informative. When we raised our complaint, the company responded saying the driver did take us everywhere and that we “chose to stay in the car” because of rain. This is completely untrue. Why would we come all the way to Goa and then choose not to get out at key attractions like Miramar Beach or Fontainhas? It’s frustrating to be dismissed and have the truth twisted rather than the issue taken seriously. Overall, this was a poorly managed and misleading experience. I would not recommend booking with this company.
Alicia was helpful and organised a hotel pickup for us. The driver and a car us all we got. The driver was not a guide and would just drop us at a point and we had to find our way around A crucial thing like dress code is not mentioned in the trip details. We could not enter a Cathedral since we were wearing sleeveless dresses. Spice plantation was overcrowded and while our guide Shrutiks was good, the food was lacklustre. We skipped it. Skip this. Not worth it. Hire a cab and gi by yourself, because that’s all you get here. Cab and a rather quiet and unfriendly driver for 10 thousand bucks. Cab outside will charge 60% of that and not a penny more
We had a drive by tour of capital of Goa. Plantation was a very good idea, we learned a lot about all the spices. Lunch was excellent. Would highly recommec it if you are in the area.
Overall, the sites on the tour were amazing, and the lunch at the plantation far more than expected. As far as the tour company, the driver was late, and then when he had arrived, it turns out he had been given the wrong location and that was more then an hour away. So by the time he got to us, it was 2 hours later for us to start. This pretty much shifted our entire day then. Any concerns or questions sent to my original tour company contact went unanswered. When we finally started the tour, everything seemed rushed, and the tour guide didn't seem to know which sites we were going to, so we had to make sure to hit the ones that were important to us. The guide did a good job of not rushing my aging mother, and making accommodations for her needing a cane, which was considerate of him. Overall great sites, but I wonder if another company would've helped folks tour them better.
Fabulous day out with Stanley our guide and Raju the driver. Stanley's knowledge of Goa was exceptional, some great sights and wonderful lunch at a spice plantation Would definitely recommend
This tour promised a lot on paper, however it fell very short on what it delivered and didn't meet our expectation! We were picked up from our hotel by a friendly driver who was simply that..the driver. He had no itinerary! There was no guide nor a leaflet provided giving information on the places we were visiting. We visited one church , given directions to walk to the next stop Fountanais, and then back to meet the driver where he dropped us off! Then only one stop (as the next two stops were closed )at a Temple, before visiting the Spice Plantation and lunch, which we did enjoy. I would NOT recommend this tour as I could simply have booked my own taxi at far less cost and told the driver where to take us! I have given it 1/5 and that is for the friendly driver.
Dear Manjitkb2019, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We deeply regret that your experience did not meet your expectations. Due to a local exhibition by the government, access to Old Goa was restricted on that particular day, which impacted our planned itinerary. Unfortunately, the closures of the local churches were beyond our control. Additionally, Fountanhas is a small Portuguese village where cars are not allowed due to the narrow lanes. This may have contributed to the walking directions provided during your tour. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this caused and for not providing the level of service you anticipated. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the Spice Plantation and lunch, and we appreciate your kind words about our driver's friendliness. For future reference, we also offer a variant of the tour with a guide, which would have provided a more comprehensive experience in line with your expectations. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we strive to improve our services. We hope you consider giving us another chance in the future to provide you with a more enjoyable experience. Kind regards,
