Personalized Tour/Great Food - This is my 2nd tour with Make It Happen. They are committed to sustainable tourism and their storyteller/guides are very personable and knowledgeable. Today, Gauresh was my guide. Many companies would cancel tours if there were not a minimum number of participants. I was very happy to have a solo tour. Gauresh was very friendly and I enjoyed the food walk very much. The highlight was getting to visit inside someone's heritage home and experience a meal with them. The house had been in the family for 8 generations! The personalized touches and the partnership that Make it Happen has with locally-owned small businesses make this a special experience.

Delicious food trail - I want to thank Gourish (hope the name of the spelling is correct) for the amazing food tour. He is a smart, sweet and informative tour guide. My husband Denys and I both enjoyed his tour day. I would definitely recommend to have your with him.

Experience by Make It Happen - It was a really fun tour! During this pandemic, where we can't step out, seeing a place and learning it's history helps us to reflect. Also by knowing the history, we are able to connect to the society's roots. Make it Happen is allowing us to discover all these new places and places where we've been but didn't know the speciality of that place.
Anybody interested to explore Goa should be a part of the Make it Happen program where you would be fascinated by what you learn!

Pleasant - Getting to know the stories about the origin of Goa was one of my favourite parts! Along with that the parts of architecture shown also caught my eye.

Love Make it Happen - I took Virtual tour some days ago and I really loved it. They took us to a ride of the city Panjim in Goa and trust me it was very beautiful. They had mind-blowing knowledge about the place and how it has been changed over the years. Even though I have visited the place, I knew nothing more about it than I got to know from this experience. They covered every bit of the city and getting to know about history is just on the next level adventure.❤️
Thank you Make it Happen ❤️❤️ for this beautiful experience. I would like to suggest to all the people who like to know history and culture of a place.
