Brilliant and personal tour experience - Storyteller Hinaz who guided us on this unforgettable experience really helped us to understand this attractive area and to fully appreciate the variety of food which has been created from many different cultural influences. She lives in the area herself so has a real in depth knowledge of the buildings and atmosphere. We felt that we spent the 3 hours 15 minutes getting to know a friend. It was really good to be able to ask questions, many food related, with a guide who shared a common passion for flavours and ingredients. We stopped at 5 places where food was served. The first was soup at a famous inn, then an historic residence where we were served snacks as starters, then a delicious fish course at one restaurant, the third stop was at another restaurant where we ate chicken kaffir - a unique and delicious flavour which we probably would never have tasted without this tour but now will have the recipe to create at home. Finally another stop for a sugar hit. Thank you Hinaz for creating a holiday highlight.

I had a fantastic time on the Latin Quarters food trail with storyteller Hinaz - I had a fantastic time on the Latin Quarters food trail; our storyteller Hinaz was incredibly warm and a wonderful host. Whether it was about the cuisine, history, architecture, or archaeology, Hinaz paid close attention to every detail. The trail was thoughtfully organized, featuring a perfect selection of foods and locations that intertwined with the narratives, making it even more meaningful to hear stories from the locals and chefs running the establishments we visited. If you don’t participate, you’ll definitely miss out on something special. I would recommend it and would love to join again.

Fontainhas food tour - We had a fantastic tour with Hinaz. As a native Goan and resident of Fontainhas she is inextricably tied to and knowledgable of the area. She has a great interest in cuisine and food in general but is also studying the history of the cuisine of Goa. Needless to say she was incredibly knowledgeable. Moreover the dishes we got to try were delicious and well thought out. I highly recommend the tour

Amazing Latin quarter tour with Hinaz - Today we went on an amazing tour of the Latin Quarter with Hinaz. She took us around the area and she was a great explainer, explaining to us all the history of the area of Fontinhas. I would definitely recommend booking this excursion, and thank you again to Hinaz for being the best storyteller!
