One of the highlights of our Goa trip was meeting Pankaj! We were very impressed with his wealth of knowledge and ability to answer all our questions, inane and otherwise :) He was super warm and friendly and helped us with our travel to the bus stand as well. An absolute delight and highly recommended!
We had an amazing experience . Out ambassador Tavanya is such a positive soul, and our walk with her felt just like being shown around by a local friend. She possesses a deep knowledge of her city and its history. Strolling through the neighborhood and seeing the beautiful, historic houses was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Exploring the unique architecture and history really makes you appreciate the legacy of our ancestors. Tavanya also provided great recommendations for nearby spots and took us to some amazing small cafes and bakeries. I highly recommend this walk to anyone looking to understand the significance and the quiet, 'susegad' lifestyle of Madgaon.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! 💛 We're thrilled you got to experience Madgaon through Tavanya's eyes. She has a way of making history feel like catching up with an old friend over chai—and we're so glad that came through! 😊 Here's to more beautiful streets, hidden cafés, fresh bakery stops, and plenty of susegad moments. We can't wait to explore Goa with you again!
Wonderful, well planned walk. Informed and friendly guide.
We were a group of ten, with our youngest being 10yrs and the eldest 81yrs This had something interesting for everyone. Pankaj did well to manage each ones pace and needs. His stories and facts from history were relevant and engaging. The rains weren't a deterrent to everyones enthusiasm to have a good time.The Chai and food were the icing on the cake. Thank you Pankaj and Soul travel. Your postcard will add to the memories.

The Margao Cultural Walk was a very insightful and enjoyable experience. The trail beautifully showcased the rich history, architecture, local stories, and culture of Margao. The guide explained everything in an engaging and interactive way, making the walk both informative and fun. I especially loved exploring the heritage houses, local markets, and hidden spots that I would have never noticed on my own. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the entire experience felt authentic and well-organized. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore the cultural side of Goa beyond the beaches.

Today’s cultural walk in Margao was truly a memorable and enriching experience. The journey beautifully captured the essence of the town. A perfect blend of vibrant everyday life and deep rooted history. What made the experience special was how seamlessly different cultures, faiths, and stories coexist here. Walking through Margao felt like stepping into living history, where every street and structure has a story to tell. This wasn’t just a walk, but a soulful experience that gave a deeper understanding of Margao’s heritage, spirit, and identity. Truly worth experiencing.
We had an amazing insight into the history of Goa and the culture which shaped the city and homes of the people. Some of the 500 year old houses are beautifully preserved with people still living in them. Our host was very knowledgeable and kept the walking tour engaging and interesting!
We had an absolutely wonderful time on the Cultural City Walk in Margao with Soul Travelling. Our young guide, Medora, was fantastic—she was so nice, highly informative, and led the entire tour with real aplomb despite the intense heat and humidity. When we mentioned our passion for photography, she went above and beyond by flexibly adjusting our route to include a walk through the vibrant fish and vegetable market. It was a perfect, personalized touch that gave us exactly the kinds of shots we were hoping for. Highly recommend booking with Soul Travelling and asking for Medora!
Very pretty but almost all houses bear the inscription forbidden to take pictures
