A wonderful walk through the village - I booked the tour on a whim and the tour was totally worth it. Adolfina was a wonderful host with great knowledge and experience. She went into great detail about the history of the curch which was the starting point of the trip. She provided information about the history of the village, and we got a chance to speak and interact with some of the locals. She also did click a couple of pictures for me. I happened to mention that I was interested in the paranormal or the supernatural, and she did give information about some locations on the tour known for it. Infact she went out of her way to show me one of the locations nearby that's not part of the tour. Will absolutely recommend this tour to others.

Nice walk of Saligao and surrounding village - As usual these boys do a good job! A mix of history and short walk of beautiful countryside of Saligao…thankfully the weather also helped and Koonan was great. And don’t walk from Calangute church crossing to this church starting point…it’s fairly long :)

The Saligao Experience - beyond spooky land! - It was a beautiful experience, also because we had an amazing guide - Madam Adolfine ! Architecture & local history explains this tour best… it was story telling all the way and it was amazing how well she also knew the locals… Highly recommend! And only thing that was spooooooky was - her story 😂🤣🤣 a small take away, this place is known for its haunted homes & paranormal activities… so might not be the right option for the weak hearted… but not that we had any such experience during the tour ! You might just catch the oldest haunted house of Goa if it’s not pulled down by the time you see it !

A memorable experience - I can't remember when I last enjoyed a walk so much. The walk was led by Adolfina Thamm from Soul Travelling, who is very knowledgeable and brings in 'lesser known' detail as the history, architecture, village lore, and more. She also pointed to the native flora and fauna that I was happy to learn about. The Monsoon rains added to the charm (as the lush landscape) and adventure, and the 'ambassador's' smiling presence was contagious. Standing by the cart at Atala's, grabbing the hot 'Beef chilly fry' bun and sipping the rose-infused tea on a rainy day was the perfect way to end the trail. A very memorable experience for me!
