Meet your guide at the Goa port . Then, we will continue to the Basilica of Bom Jesus. Built in the 16th century, this magnificent building is the most popular and famous of all the churches in Goa. The mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier, kept in a silver casket, are enshrined here. The casket was wrought by Goan silversmiths in 1636-37. Dedicated to Infant Jesus, this church is now a World Heritage Monument. then walk through the lesser-known but culturally-rich Fontainhas area of Goa, the oldest and largest Latin quarter in Asia. See heritage homes, appreciate Portuguese architecture, meet friendly locals, and experience the cultural side of Goa. Developed in the late eighteenth century, Fontainhas derived its name - "little fountain" in Portuguese - A strong Portuguese influence still prevails in this neighborhood, evident from the architectural style and the road names. we also visit Panjim flower market to het the life of Goa

Tour excursion ideal for...

Tour excursion ideal for cruise passengers as pick up was amended to work with the time in port so we got back in plenty of time. One thing I will say is that there's not a massive amount to actually see! The temple was stunning so was the church but the other sights were very average!

Great trip

Had a great tour of Goa with Savio our guide who was very knowledgeable, patient and passionate showing us around. The pace of the tour was great and nothing was too much trouble.

Not unless you really like old churches and sitting on buses…

Meh! If you like churches and temples.. Fine. Otherwise this is not for you. Lots of sitting on a bus, 1 Hindu Temple, 2 old churches, one city market, ..best bit was a short walk through old Portuguese part of the town. Would not do this one again. Guide spent more time telling us about new roads and bridges we were driving on than anything we were driving past. Did not seem well organised… we had a couple with us that was sent to the wrong bus… and did the wrong tour. They should have gone to see the beach areas…. And in retrospect, probably so should we!

Interesting stories in Goa

Our guide, John (hope we have that right) did a good job of differentiating Goa from other places we have visited in India. His background is evident in his story telling and he made the day informative as well as fun with his enthusiasm for Goa.

None

We had great expectations about Goa, unfortunately the area is not what it use to be. I am not sure even the best guide could have helped.

Great day in Goa

We were in port for a day and unfortunately you need more than a day (25 Jan) in Goa. The tour guide was excellent with a great sense of humour. The tour could have been better by visiting Goa beach for lunch or a snack before heading off to the wonderful churches and temples as we only had a short time there. Great value for money

Goa is a city full of history

Goa is a city full of history and worth to visit. Our guide talked a lot about the past history and nowaday life, also took us to the local market to show us locals' daily life. We like this tour and our tour guide.
