My friend and I booked this private heritage tour, and it was hands-down our favorite day in Goa. Old Goa’s grand cathedrals felt so peaceful and historic, while the pastel-colored streets of Fontainhas looked stunning under the bright March sun—literally like a vintage postcard come to life! A few honest tips: Beat the March heat: It gets hot quickly this month. Having a private AC car to jump into between stops was an absolute lifesaver. Ask to start early at Fontainhas to get those empty street shots in soft morning light, then hit the thick, cool stone churches of Old Goa around midday to escape the sun. Bakery stop: While wandering the Latin Quarter, definitely pop into one of the historic local bakeries for a fresh wood-fired egg tart and an iced coffee. It’s the perfect recharge. It’s the perfect mix of culture, comfort, and amazing photos. So glad we did a private tour!

Our tour guide Dyandeep gave us an interesting and relaxing tour of Panjim and Goa. He would let us know about the sites and culture of the places we visited then give us some time to look around and take pictures as long as we liked. He coordinated with the driver real well to have near and safe pickup/drop-off locations too. We saw multiple churches that were awesome with very detailed architecture. Then we had a walking tour of Fontainhas with pretty-colored houses with lush flowers and plants decorating the neighborhood. We finished with a panoramic view of the Arabian Sea coast and got to see dolphins swimming around in the distance.

A pleasurable walk in the Fontainhas area, it's an attractive suburb in Goa with pretty colours of houses in Portuguese style. Has a few cafes around so you can also stop for a refreshing drink. We really had fun 🤩 beautiful and colourful buildings and Vibe places to hangout. The operator "Discover Activities" adds some spiritual flavour too, by showing the beautiful Portuguese era churches too!

Mr. Shailesh was an amazing tour guide. He was knowledgeable about history and culture. He was accommodating with our plans. He has 20 years experience and is very pleasant and welcoming. I would highly recommend him. On the other hand, The agency communication (Jai Singh ) was a bit short with me and said “ he was spending too much time with our correspondence” when I was having having difficulty trying to figure out how to pay with PayPal for a supplement for a cruise ship pick up location. I didn’t think that was very professional.
Dear Guest Many thanks for the kind words of appreciation and time taken to post the review. We feel honoured to know that we were able to match your expectations during your tour. Regarding the communications before the tour, kindly note we were doing our best to go out of the way and serve you from the port are of Goa. We usually pickup and drop from centrally located hotel only. We were sharing multiple communications yielding NO results, so you were politely told to contact your cruise company for instant resolution and it was not meant to be rude at all. However in the end we provided you the best of our services and you are also very happy with your tour and our services in the end. Hope to see you again. Best regards Jai Singh Discover Activities
