More Than Beaches: A Time-Travel Day in Goa - Confused about what to do in Goa besides beaches and food? Same—until we discovered Soul Travelling. Turns out, it’s the perfect answer. Our ambassador, Tavanya, was amazing and made Goa’s history come alive with stories that were actually interesting (yes, history can be fun!). We visited a gorgeous heritage house, and just walking through these old homes felt like stepping into a time machine. Came for an experience, left with a new curiosity about Goa’s past—and zero regrets.

Dive into colonial history of Goa - Amazing tour of centuries-old houses from the colonial era of Goa. The tour was very informative and gave an excellent view of the lifestyle, types of artifacts, and religious pluralism that make Goa a unique place in india. This tour is definitely one-of-kind for lovers of history and religions! 10/10

The experience with the places and the ambassador - Soulful and mystical These are two words which I can say for this tour experience of mine We were immediately soaked into the stories and the culture and the energy of the places we visited , especially because of Tavanya, our ambassador (guide). Her words and ways of explaining really pierced our hearts as they were so genuine and detailed Looking forward to more such trip

The owner shows around - Be prepared to get in gear and that it is about 2 families showing their home through generations ahead. If you are willing to ask questions, you can learn a lot about Indian culture and history. If you're passive, you'll be shown the families' antiques and that's it
