Excursão privada ao sul de Goa com plantação de especiarias e almoço no North Goa Hotel

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.
