Immersive Goan history, stunning architecture, engaging storytelling, unforgettable experience. - Today we had the incredible opportunity to join Soul Travelling's "House of Chandor" tour, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, the tour was perfectly organized, and every detail was thoughtfully curated to give us an authentic glimpse into Goa's rich history and heritage. Our host Tavanya Coutinho was simply outstanding! Her passion for storytelling, combined with a deep knowledge of the history of Chandor and its significance, made the tour come alive. She took us on a journey through time, sharing fascinating stories about the royal family and the architectural beauty of the house, all while keeping the experience engaging and interactive. Their warmth and hospitality made us feel like we were guests, not just tourists. The "House of Chandor" itself is a hidden gem, filled with timeless charm, antique treasures, and an aura that transports you to another era. Every room, every corner had a story to tell, and we were mesmerized by the beauty of the architecture and the preservation of Goan heritage. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Goa beyond its beaches. Soul Travelling has truly outdone themselves with this experience, and I can't wait to join more of their tours in the future!

Amazing Houses - This was our second tour with Soul as well as with our ambassador Zena. The houses that we covered were grand and full of history. It started raining heavily in the middle of the tour but that somehow made the tour even better. We had an amazing time.
