Joe is amazing an amazing and knowledgable tour guide, delivering facts with humour and a little local flare. It was a full day tour but curated to your own individual timings which made a huge difference. Would recommend this tour if your first time in Goa or a retuning visit
Worst place to visit, they would show you maximum 4to5 plants n after that pathetic lunch, complete waste of money and time
Our guide Sucoro Dias was lovely. We appreciated his extra insight and attention detail. Thank you for a lovely day!!
I had a great time on this tour and Joe, my guide, was very informative! He took the time to explain, not only what I was seeing but also life in India.
Very enjoyable and informative. So many different and excellent experiences in one day. Our guide , Namita was very knowledgeable and obliging. She organised a tuc tuc ride for us as we hadn't one in Goa. Brilliant day. We highly recommend.
I have been having trouble with the heat so Joaquim made sure I didn’t get overheated which was most appreciated. The Portuguese mansion was my favorite stop in the trip but the sconce plantation was quite interesting as well. I would recommend this tour and ask for Joaquim; he was great.
Great tour guide with lots of knowledge. Tour guide at Spice plantation was brilliant. Would recommend this trip
Lovely tour guided by Joaquim (Joe) and a driver. Joaquim is a Vasco local with tons of experience and knowledge. He introduced us to the next destination during our drive there and then we were also guided by others during 3 of the 6 stops (museum, Portuguese mansion and spice plantation). He recommended a Portuguese mansion tour instead of the Big Foot stop and we were very pleased. Lots of variety was appreciated. Large airconditioned car was great. Skip Colva beach if you're already going to another more secluded beach. Colva is a standard, fairly busy beach. Tour took roughly 8 hours. You'll be charged an additional reasonable pick up fee if your pick up location is not in/around Margao. Make sure you have WhatsApp installed on your phone (available on Android/Iphone) to communicate. The tour operator contacted as you via WhatsApp.
I took this tour with my mother during our first visit to goa. We had a lovely time with joaquim as our guide. Th depth of his knowledge of goas history and about goa, in general could fill books. He and the driver were also very warm and kind, a delight to spend time with. Any tour led by joequim would be worth taking!
