Itinerario
Comience con la ciudad de Panaji, también conocida como Panjim, que es la capital del estado de Goa, en el suroeste de la India. Situada a orillas del río Mandovi, la ciudad tiene calles empedradas llenas de coloridas villas y edificios de la época colonial portuguesa. La playa de Miramar, bordeada de palmeras, se encuentra en la confluencia del río y el mar Arábigo. Situada en una colina que domina la ciudad se encuentra la iglesia barroca de Nuestra Señora de la Inmaculada Concepción, construida en 1619.
El recorrido a pie en Fontainhas es un antiguo barrio latino en Panjim, capital del estado de Goa, India. Mantiene su influencia portuguesa, particularmente a través de su arquitectura, que incluye calles estrechas y pintorescas sinuosas como las que se encuentran en muchas ciudades europeas, antiguas villas y edificios con balcones proyectados pintados en los tonos tradicionales de amarillo pálido, verde o azul, y techos hechos de azulejos de color rojo. El ambiente patrimonial de Fontainhas representa la influencia tradicional portuguesa en el área.
Old Goa, también llamado Velha Goa, está al lado del río Mandovi en el estado de Goa, en el oeste de India. La antigua capital de la India portuguesa, es conocida por los monumentos de la época colonial como la Basílica de Bom Jesus, con los restos de San Francisco Javier y la iglesia abovedada de San Cajetano, inspirada por San Pedro en Roma. Cerca de allí, la gran catedral de Se, construida en los siglos XVI-XVII, tiene capillas ornamentadas y un campanario.
El templo de Shri Mangesh se encuentra en la aldea Mangeshi en Priol Goa. Este templo es uno de los templos más grandes y visitados con mayor frecuencia en Goa.
El esplendor de la naturaleza va bien con las tradiciones antiguas. En The Spice Plantation, la naturaleza se ha esforzado por mantener las tradiciones en armonía con la naturaleza. Damos la bienvenida a nuestros huéspedes de una manera tradicional al ofrecer Aarti, Kumkum y una guirnalda de flores. Luego los invitados son servidos con té de hierbas. Los alimentos saludables y nutritivos se sirven de manera tradicional en una hoja de plátano.

My friend and I booked this cultural day tour in June, and despite it being the start of the monsoon season, it was a fantastic experience! This tour perfectly captures Goa's diverse heritage, showcasing both the historic Basilica of Bom Jesus and gorgeous Hindu temples. A few practical tips for a June visit: The spice plantation is at its best: The June rains make the spice plantation incredibly lush, vibrant, and green. Walking through the tropical canopy smelling the fresh rain and plants was so therapeutic, and the traditional buffet lunch on-site was delicious. Be prepared for sudden downpours: Monsoon weather is highly unpredictable. Always pack a sturdy umbrella or poncho in your bag. Also, wear waterproof sandals with good grip, as the stone pathways around the temples can get slippery when wet. A great escape from the heat: Compared to the scorching summer months, June actually brings a welcome drop in temperature when it rains. It's much cooler and more comfortable to sightsee as long as you don't mind a bit of rain. Overall, it's a wonderfully comprehensive tour that perfectly blends history, religion, and nature. Highly recommend for a rainy season itinerary in Goa!
This is the best tour of the lot. I highly recommend this tour. Jonas, my guide, provided historical, cultural, political perspectives plus he addressed my onward travel issues - train schedule, shops for good Goan goodies etc. so I could relax and enjoy the day. For my next day, Jonas gave me tips on great shops and restaurants to enjoy. I noticed that Goans are more like islanders than other Indians. Goans have a joyful and happy demenour which could be the food, sandy beaches, beautiful sunsets or other things. When I shared photos with my family, my niece said that she has been to Goa - from her US navy post in Kuwait and she also loved Goa. My thanks to Viator, Jonas, and the Goan people for a great experience. Yes, you may publish my words. Judi Ann Carlsson 713.854.2710
Our guide and driver was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning about Goa. The last stop at the Spice Plantation was over crowded with tour buses. The tour was with a larger group with a plantation guide and its basically a garden with examples of all the spices. It was not a plantation or at least we did not get to see a large plantation. Lunch at the plantation was unexciting. Also ladies need to have shoulders and knees covered for these churches and temples.
Mario knows everything. And everyone. He provided a delightful, fun in-depth day around Old Goa and the surrounding area. The spice plantation was a nice add-on. And if you need tips on where to go next...ask Mario.
I had a great experience with a private tour guide Socorro who explained the history of Goa and showed me all the important sights. I particularly enjoyed the spice plantation. The lunch was great and I loved smelling all the different spice plants!
A really interesting and well planned tour. Joaquim, our guide was excellent and very entertaining. Our driver Marlon also did a fine job with both being real gentlemen. This is a perfect tour if you want to see a bit more of Goa outside the hotels, with lots of additional information on Goan history, life in Goa and India also included.
Great trip that captures the key sights in both old and new Goa as well as an educational spice plantation tour and local lunch. Our guide Joaquim was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant and answered every question we had with in-depth responses. For the Hindu temple you do need to remove shoes and socks to enter the complex. The spice plantation offers both veggie and non veggie options for lunch.
Caesar (tour guide) and Shivam (driver) were amazing! They picked us up and showed us all the Goan delights. Caesar has a wealth of knowledge when it came to the churches and temples and also gave me a little time off to get some shopping done. My partner's mother is Goan and Caesar kindly made a detour to show us around that area. The Spice Plantation is a very interesting stop too; Caesar and Pooja gave us the VIP treatment and the lunch was very tasty! Highly recommended tour to get an overview of Goa!
Our guide Jonas was one of t he very best we've had! He was extremely engaging and informative! A wonderful day and tour!
Great way to see & experience Goa with a very knowledgeable guide. Xavier was fantastic & adjusted the tour to suit us. Very comfortable, air conditioned car with a great driver too.
