An experience worth trying for sure - We went for a night walk at this place. Shiv was our guide. We enjoyed the night walk, weather and definitely the informative dose of history that Shiv shared. It made the whole experience wholesome. It got me curious about the history of the place which definitely is am sure what these places are preserved to do. Moreso, the day we were there, there was a fun fair with some shows and food and fun stalls which was an icing on the cake. Would definitely recommend the place and the experience.

Amazing! - Our experience with "make it happen " began with the fort and Aguada jail heritage walk and it was amazing . Shiv is a great storyteller and we had a wonderful time. Even though we visit Goa regularly, this visit was more than the beach and the food and we saw Goa with a different perspective. Thanks shiv. I hope your stories are enjoyed by many more people.

Definitely recommend - Booked the evening tour of the jail heritage walk. Our tour guide, Pawan, was very friendly and told the historic stories with in depth knowledge. We decided to get dinner in the fort beforehand and then do the walk which worked well for us. Make sure you ask your taxi to wait though as there arent any available up there. Our tour was about 1hr 15. As well as knowing about the fort and it's history, Pawan answered other questions we had about Goa, getting around, and made some great recommendations. Highly recommend this company as an insight into Goa.

Must do in Goa - The Fort Aguada night walk was a great evening spent in Goa. The tour itself is very interesting and gives you a great understanding of how the fort was used by the Portuguese and how Goa won its independence. Our guide Pawan was knowledgable and friendly and I would highly recommend him and the make it happen team.
