Great Tour...you should take it! - This tour is a great experience for first timers to Goa who want to learn about the history of the area. Our guide Abhinav was friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely thoughtful about well being. Abhinav was a lot of fun and happy to answer my many many many questions about Goa.

Highly recommend Abhinav and this tour! - I can't say enough positive about this tour and our guide Abhinav. His English was very good. He was accommodating to special requests and EXTREMELY knowledgeable. He answered all of our groups questions including some rather unusual ones! He was also very considerate about the heat and proactively suggested we sit in the shade at times for him to share information with us! I learned so much about the history of Goa and particularly the Portuguese influence. I would HIGHLY recommend Abhinav and this tour!

Great experience! - A very detailed walking tour of old goa churches with a very knowledgeable guide Abhinav. Abhinav came armed with printouts, videos and personal anecdotes to fill in the blanks for things that are not possible to see. This truly added to the experience as it was above and beyond what I expected and is very much appreciated. Special kudos for acting as a photographer also! 100% would recommend
