An informative tour with a very knowledgeable guide. He ensured we are aware of the dress code, and spent time before we started the tour to provide the necessary background to help us understand what we are looking at during the tour
A good way to learn about the history of Old Goa. Geronimo, my guide, was truly very knowledgeable and a local who knows his history.
Nice tour and very informative guide. Only churches but some beautiful ones - thought I might some other landmarks in Old Goa. Guide Joaquim really knew his stuff and was entertaining. My day was disrupted a bit by the moving of the tour from 4pm to 2pm but Joaquim explained that was because the churches close at 5pm. Viator should have known about this and never scheduled the tour for 4pm in the first place
The knowledgeable guide and the rich history of the place. Be prepared for the long walk. As we did it in June, the heat was intense. Coupled by the humidity, it is good to bring water, sun-screen n a cap along.
