Flavors and Stories: A Latin Quarter Food Trail with Make It Happen - Exploring the Old Latin Quarter in Goa with @makeithappengoa was an unforgettable journey through history, culture, and flavors. Vimala, our storyteller, brought the past alive with her incredible narrations, making every moment feel special.
From savoring vegetarian Portuguese-inspired dishes to enjoying a delightful mix of soup, finger foods, and dessert at heritage establishments, this food trail was a feast for both the mind and the palate.
The charm of the Latin Quarters, paired with the rich local flavors and diverse influences, made this walk truly magical. Highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting Goa! 🌿✨

This food walk is an unusually good value! - I’ve taken many food walks in my travels and this Panaji , Goa, Latin Quarter food walk was one of the best. It was excellent value. In three hours Hinaz Shaikh, my guide and “story teller” took me to five establishments where we tasted a wide variety of Goan specialties - from a wonderful sea bass escabeche, to a spicy rachedo masala squid - along with various refreshing drinks and a finale of tea infused cookies and cupcakes. Make it Happen is a refreshingly new type of enterprise that employs an amazing variety of very knowledgeable local folks that turn a walk into a stimulating learning experience of local history and culture. I expect to book additional walks from this company.

Personalized Tour/Great Food - This is my 2nd tour with Make It Happen. They are committed to sustainable tourism and their storyteller/guides are very personable and knowledgeable. Today, Gauresh was my guide. Many companies would cancel tours if there were not a minimum number of participants. I was very happy to have a solo tour. Gauresh was very friendly and I enjoyed the food walk very much. The highlight was getting to visit inside someone's heritage home and experience a meal with them. The house had been in the family for 8 generations! The personalized touches and the partnership that Make it Happen has with locally-owned small businesses make this a special experience.
