The Christian Art Trail at Old Goa with Priyanka Phadte - Priyanka weaved stories in and around the local history, architecture, and cultural migrations. She knows just the right timing and place for every story, reference, and to draw connections. Not a dull moment with these stories and so much beauty in the churches she took me to!

An enriching experience - learned so much! - I’ve been to old Goa three times and I’m very keen on Christian art but Adolfina showed us many, many things we had not seen before or even realised were there - we were blown away by this tour! Adolfina is a very interesting and knowledgeable guide able to tell us many stories and point out so many unusual things we simply could not have got out of any guidebook. I feel so privileged to have done this tour meeting nuns and seeing inside so many beautiful structures. Thank you so much Adolfina! I hope we can meet again one day. I feel so inspired to find out more about the history of Christian’s in Goa.

A day at MOCA - The trail was amazingg! My second time around on this trail and loved it. Adolfina was amazing and very kind. Got to learn a lot and see a lot. Couldn’t have asked for a better ambassador on this trail. Even on a repeat trail there’s always so much to learn and experience. Ended with a great goan snack and chai! Def recommend to everyone.

A Day out with Soul Travelling - Our trail was amazing and historic for us as we went on a nostalgic educational trip about the deep roots of Goan heritage. Visiting Goan houses inspired and made by the Portuguese and churches with old history was the most fun I had on this day. Our trip for the day was over but we wanted to spend so much more time with the guides Adolfina and Pankaj. We shared stories, laughed and enjoyed on a terrific day full of history in offbeat Goa with Soul Travelling ❤️ The architecture was mind blowing and the churches and houses we visited was extremely beautiful. We ended our trip with an amazing meal of Goan delicacies. This was a fun new change for us and we will surely do this again and return for more Soul Travelling.

Amazing day, Good vibes and very informative and educational. Guides were very helpful, fun and sweet.Perfect experience - Me and my friends went out for something new and special to enjoy our trip to goa. Us 16 year olds, being from Mumbai were very interested by the deep roots of Goa that people don't talk about much. One of my closest friend aarya, trying to make her career in architecture was very interested to do this trail. Me and my friend shramya being obsessed with history we joined in with the excitement to take this as a new adventure to educate ourselves with the wonderful views of Goa. We visited many churches and homes of old and South Goa and understood the deep history behind it all. We were astonished by the churches from the 1400's and houses aging back to almost 700 years old. Our guides were so helpful and wholesome. We didn't once feel like outsiders and we never lost interest. We loved talking to them and sharing stories as well. We were always welcomed and taken care of. We met some amazing people on the way and visited beautiful Goan/indo-portugese/Indo-European homes. They took us in with open arms and showed us around. We saw the architecture and tools people used back then way before electricity and modern technology. We saw the genius innovative minds the people used in those times. Our overall experience was terrific and we will surely return to do all the trails and meet more amazing people and visit mindblowing architectural sites and homes. I would love to spend more time with the people i met and talk to them about the history of this state and country. This was surely extremely memorable for us and very fun for sure! - Shree Kutty.

Very fun and informative tour with an amazing guide! - What makes the whole concept of the tour is the tour guide. This tour was a clear proof of this argument. My guide Adolfina was just so engaged, professional, knowledable and experienced at her work. I was thinking a tour focusing simply one form of architecture, which is church, might be boring. However it turned to be very interesting because of magic touch of my dear guide Adolfina. She is into the topic, she is at the center. She is not showing it. She plays the story and also takes you in it. I really enjoyed alot also their lunch box. It was super fresh and delicious. The route was perfect, the start and the end. It was really poetic and a greatly studied route. One little suggestion would be that being in a new environment, taking pictures is an important thing to live the moment in memories. So maybe guide can suggest some good spots to take good pictures too. She is a great person, I highly recommend you to have her as your guide.

Best tour in Goa! - The tour was fascinating and really enriched my experience of Goa. I learnt about history, art and tradition in the region with its many cultural layers. My guide was really inclusive and helpful in guiding our small group around these historic cultural sites. As well as this sensitivity was shown to people of all backgrounds and religions. I could easily do this tour again as there was so much to learn and experience. On top of all of this, the group was gifted delicious Goan delicacies, which was completely unexpected, as well as a soul travelling light weight carry bag. Really thoughtful operators, safe and kind.

Christian Art Trial - Old Goa - The walking tour of the Christian Art Trail was one of the highlights of our visit to Goa. Bob and Karan were a great team. Not only did they provide history of the art and architecture of the three standing churches, one church site now in ruins and the artifacts in the museum we visited - they were able to answer all kinds of general questions that came their way. The tour takes you to places about a mile away from the main tourist area of Old Goa, so it really completed our day as we were able to take in the other sites in addition to the Christian Art Trail. After the walking tour, we enjoyed tea and snacks with our hosts which really made the entire experience special. We highly recommend this tour and look forword to signing up for other trails that Soul Travelling offers.
