Great Goan experience with Amreen ! - Exploring Panjim's culinary scene, we visited Kokum Curry, Venite Hospedaria, and Viva Panjim. At Kokum Curry showcased authentic Goan flavors. Venite Hospedaria, with its historic charm, offered delightful tapas blending Portuguese and Goan influences. Finally, Viva Panjim's vibrant ambiance was perfect for savoring local feni and an array of tapas, each dish a testament to Goan culinary tradition. This food trail provided a delicious and immersive experience into Goa's rich gastronomic heritage.

A must do Feni and Tapas trail - Having done the Latin qtr trail with make it happen in the past, I wanted to try something new, so I decided to do the Feni and tapas trail this time. What a wonderfully curated walk with the right amount of history and an easy flowing narrative. Absolutely enjoyed it. I got to taste absolutely unique Feni cocktails that were unique yet blended beautifully with the all that I ate and drank. Special call out to My storyteller Pawan without whom the experience wouldn’t have been as wholesome as it was. He was authentic and easy to connect with. Highly recommend the walk and the amazing storyteller

Fabulous tour - We had the pleasure of being taken around the hidden gems to try the local feni cocktails and delicious goan specialities with the lovely bubbly Patulla. She was very informative and good company. We had a great time with her! The cocktails were all very yummy and sweet. Our favourite one was the signature cocktail in Kokum Curry and all of the dishes were delicious, but the pork roast in Welcom Heritage Panjim was just a cut above. Thank you. Highly recommend!

Lovely experience - The food and feni were really good. Gave an insight into tasty vegetarian Goan food. Had a great time connecting with the others on the tour too. The guide Pavan did a good job. The price could have been lower (~2k) so that more people can sign up.
