Excellent tour! - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour, which we decided to do on our first full day in Goa. It was enhanced by the extremely safe driver and knowledgeable, friendly guide. Highlights were the stunning setting at the spice plantation, the beautiful Fontainhas area and not being rushed. Highly recommended and many thanks 😊

A memory that will stay forever - The trip was excellent. Our ambassador, Zena, is a very pleasant, warm and knowledgeable girl. She made this experience, memorable for us. Her sound knowledge and her clarity while explaining the historical aspects, is simply outstanding. Would highly recommend this trip.

Amazing experience created by soul travelling team - A huge thank you to the entire team at Soul Travelling for creating such amazing experiences! We recently joined the Margao City Walk, and from the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Pankaj and his incredible team. Our journey began at the Holy Spirit Church, where Pankaj captivated us with fascinating insights into the history of the church and the surrounding architecture. Throughout the two-hour walking tour, we explored over 400 years of history, learning about Goa’s evolution from its early settlers to the present day. Pankaj’s knowledge and storytelling skills brought the past to life, making every moment engaging. We also discovered the significance behind the colorful buildings, intricate designs, and the social hierarchy reflected in the architecture—details we would have otherwise missed! The time flew by, and we are now excited to explore more experiences based on the team’s recommendations. Once again, thank you, Soul Travelling, for making our holiday even more memorable!

Fascinating history of Goan architecture, culture and customs - We did the Margao walking trail with Azaan and it was fantastic. I have been to Goa a couple of times but I had no idea about the really interesting Indo-Portuguese history and the impact it has had on the local architecture, food and religion. Azaan was a great guide - engaging and passionate about the subject. Highly recommended.

Great Tour in Margao - The tour was a great opportunity to learn about the history of Margao (and Goa) while walking through the town, Heidi was a great guide, she not only explained about the past, but also showed us the present highlights of Margao. Definitely a worthwhile trip.

Not what the Viator site had promised! - The young guide was enthusiastic but appeared not to be very knowledgable on the Margao area, history or heritages, barring an anecdote or two for select houses. I had opted for this tour based on the group tour of Fontainhas (in 2022), that I had joined. That one was definitely more informative about the history linked to the architecture, The narrative here was disjointed and on the whole the tour lacked the focus on the promises in the Viator site, that was the reason for my booking.
