Amazing City tour and food experience with incredibly good story tellers - We wanted to try something new in Goa and came across this tour. Very good value too. Our two guides Pawan and Alila were just fantastic always smiling and knew so much about Goan history and Food. We were taken to three restaurants and a bakery for food, which was just delicious.. we visited various places of interest including a temples, churches and places of significant interest. The tour finished with a walk around the market. We followed them on our scooter but don’t be put off about transport there are loads of Rickshaws who will do just the same.

Great food and history tour of Goa - We had a lovely tour of Goa with Pawan and Alita today. The food was delicious and Pawan is an engaging and entertaining storyteller. In addition to our food stops, we got to visit a temple (probably my favorite part because I loved the stories of the gods) and even had time to visit the market and do a little shopping. I highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Goa and ask for Pawan as your guide. He was a delight and even helped me order a book he showed us about Goa.

A culinary masterpiece - Pawan was the best guide ever! Lots of historical knowledge plus incredible meals curated with pure local cuisine. Best indo-Portuguese food I’ve had in Goa! Reasonably priced and a great hang. Great for international travelers, I am a chef from USA and this was exactly what I was looking for!

Pawan - The awesome Storyteller - At the 28th of December me and my Girlfriend decided to have some good Times at Margao. So we met Pawan there - And I just can say: It was definitly the right decision. We‘ve had such a great Time. The Knowledge about Goan-History and the Way he talked and communicated with us was unbelievable. Every FoodSpot was extremly nice and all those Restaurant-Runners had a lovely Heart. Every Story and Information Pawan gave us felt so good. The Temples and old ruins were great Spots in Margao and the Food just: BOOM inside our Mouthes. We loved the Sweets. We loved the Chickpeas and especially our First Time Fenny feeld so good and funny with Pawan. That was definitly one of the best Guides I‘ve ever had a Tour with! Greetings from Germany and please be that handsome, pleasent and likable Storyteller! :)

Foray into Madgaon's history and culture - I had been to Madgaon a few times in passing and for some work. But this was the first time I was exploring the city. I really enjoyed learning about it's history and architecture, the different houses and the stories behind them. We enjoyed visiting The Goan Kitchen and learning about new Goan cuisine which I hadn't come across so far elsewhere. Our guide was knowledgeable, entertaining, and friendly. Overall, it was a great experience.
