Was a an ok tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and guide us through the city well. Unfortunately there was miscommunication from the organizers that the guide wasn't aware that the tour included food tour. But the food we got was just Pastéis de nata and prawns rissóis. That barely qualifies as a food tour though. Could've been better in the organization and food aspects.

I have enjoyed exploring the Portuguese-influenced Goa on foot with Padmaj. A knowledgeable, well-spoken young man who knows his way around the Portuguese-influenced quarters. He even took time to taste pastries of the authentic bakery of Goa. He helped me to understand and gain knowledge of Portuguese-influenced Goa and answered all my questions and more.

The guide and the tour was nice and the tour. However the company yotours was bad: they called us 2 hours to inform about a minimum fee, after the booking was done while they advertised online that the tour is FREE. Totally confusing and instrasparent

We were guided by Mario on the tour who was very curt and professional. He waited patiently as well as we were 5 minutes late. The introduction was really good and informational and as it progressed we came to know about a lot of new information. The walk was also a really nice one. It could have been a bit more engaging. Since we were just 2 folks, we had the whole walk to us but the experience was kind of stretchy a few times. Probably some kind of activity could have been introduced. We give it a 4/5. Thanks Anirban

I booked my sister and I this tour when we were staying in Panaji. We really enjoyed spending two hours with Padmaj on this tour - what a great guy! He answered all of our questions, is a really friendly guy, and a pleasure to learn from. Thank you for making our trip so special. Highly recommend this tour to all

The tour gave a really good insight into the Portuguese influence in Goa, which we were specifically identified and were told about. The guide Padmaj was inspiring, knowledgeable, friendly and spoke perfect English. Don't miss this trip! Worked fine for my 11-year-old daughter because Padmaj took the time to explain things to her.
