Itinerario
Anteriormente conocido como Porter de Gasper Dias por los portugueses, la playa pasó a llamarse Miramar después de que Goa se unió a los estados indios. Es una de las playas más visitadas de Goa. Está situado justo en la confluencia del mar Arábigo y el río Mandovi.
Si eres fanático de los amantes de las estrellas como Romeo y Julieta, este lugar definitivamente despertará tu interés. Lleva el nombre de la leyenda de Dona y Paulo, dos amantes cruzados que se suicidaron al saltar de un acantilado en el pueblo. Cuando se les pregunta sobre Doña Paulo, los aldeanos te señalarán imágenes de un hombre y una mujer en el acantilado.
La primera pequeña basílica de la India, Bom Jesus of Basilica, forma parte de las iglesias y conventos de Goa, Patrimonio de la Humanidad de la UNESCO. Se encuentra en la antigua capital de Goa, es decir, Old Goa y contiene los restos de San Francisco Javier
La Catedral de Santa Catarina fue construida por los portugueses para inmortalizar su victoria sobre un ejército musulmán en 1510. Ubicada en Old Goa, su hermosa estructura portuguesa-manuelina es algo que no te puedes perder. Tiene un cierto código de vestimenta para que los visitantes mantengan el decoro del lugar.
El templo de Shri Mangesh fue construido hace 150 años bajo el gobierno de Maratha, siendo su sitio original Kushasthali. Debido a una invasión de Portugal, el lingua de Mangesh fue trasladado al sitio actual en 1543. Es uno de los templos más grandes de Goa y también uno de los más visitados.
Shri Shantadurga o "Santeri" es una deidad familiar de muchos brahmanes Goud Saraswat en Goa. Como resultado, este templo fue construido por la comunidad después de que su templo original en Keloshi fuera destruido en 1566.

Fontainhas fue fundada a finales del siglo XVIII por un rico portugués llamado Antonio Joao de Sequeira. Él utilizó esta tierra para las plantaciones de coco. Pero, a principios de 1800, debido a la propagación de la epidemia en el Viejo Goa, la sede del gobierno portugués se trasladó a Panjim. Como resultado, esta área se transformó en el área residencial para oficiales administrativos y gobernantes portugueses. En 1984, la UNESCO reconoció a Fontainhas como una zona de patrimonio. Un recordatorio visual común de los restos portugueses aquí son las casas y cabañas construidas en arquitectura colonial y pintadas con fluorescentes y pasteles. Además de eso, los nombres de las calles estrechas y empedradas también se remontan a la época portuguesa en Goa, por ejemplo, la Rua 31 de Janeira (31 de enero Road) lleva el nombre del día en que Portugal se independizó de España el 31 de enero 1640; y la calle 18 de junio lleva el nombre del día de 1946 que marcó el comienzo del fin del dominio portugués en el país.
Ubicada a unos 6 km del pueblo de Ponda, el pueblo de Keri, inexplorado y no contaminado, tiene tierras extensas con variedades de plantaciones y aves encantadoras. Explore la naturaleza en su máxima expresión con nuestro guía mientras recorre estas hermosas plantaciones y disfrute de las fragancias de las especias frescas que crecen en los alrededores. Termine el recorrido con el delicioso almuerzo estilo Goa que se sirve.

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,
