Old Goa Exklusiv: Kirchen, Tempel, Gewürze & Gaumenfreuden

Diese Tour ist etwas lang und man deckt fast die ganze Strecke ab. Das Mittagessen in einer Gewürzfarm entspannt Ihre Sinne und erspart Ihnen den langen Tag. Das Personal von Discover Aktivitäten war super und hilfsbereit

Our driver and an amazing guide picked us up right on time, we visited several interesting spots and below 02 were the most memorable: The Basilica of Bom Jesus was truly a memorable experience. This historic church carries a deep sense of spirituality and architectural beauty. If you’re in Goa, this iconic site is definitely a must visit. A symbol of Goa’s colonial history and religious heritage, and offers a calm break from the beaches and parties. The scenic Spice plantation: A Wonderful 100-acre private property, we tour a small part of it with a guide that educated us about the therapeutic, cooking properties of the various herbal plants grown there. The visits were followed by a sumptuous lunch buffet and is worth it. Highly recommended for nature lovers, spice enthusiast, or someone looking for a break away from the beaches in Goa.

We booked this amazing tour since we wanted to visit Old Goa along with a fabulous spice planation visit. Goa has many faces! But Old Goa is just a stunning canvas painted with amazing architecture, colonial monuments, cobbled paths, and impressive scenery that is coastal. Tropical Spice Plantation Art is a haven for nature lovers, art enthusiasts, and those seeking a holistic experience. As you step foot into the plantation, you'll be greeted by the aromatic scents of various spices that fill the air. Explore the sprawling plantation and witness the cultivation of a wide range of spices like cardamom, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Learn about their origin, cultivation techniques, and medicinal properties from knowledgeable guides.

Niandeep was a an excellent, knowledgeable guide to spend the day with. Great communication on timing and adapted to our i Terese’s. The spice plantation was very interesting and we are happy to be taking many spices home. Raju, our driver was not only very safe but also a great conversationalist Highly recommend this tour to learn about Goa

This is a fantastic tour with our guide who is very knowledgeable, providing us the Goan history. We also visited wonderful churches and the oldest Hindu temple.  The spice plantation tour was interesting, including scrumptious lunch. Although the weather was very hot, the vehicle that we were travelling in, was very comfortable and kept us cool. Compliments to our driver, he was very polite and safe driving. This is a highly recommended trip, thank you!

My Aunt, sister, wife, and I had a great time on this tour. The tour guide, Narayan, was extremely knowledgeable and was willing to be flexible. The driver, Satish, was also very good. We saw Old Goa, Mangeshi Temple, and a spice plantation. We learned history, culture, and all about spices. Lunch at the plantation was delicious. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to get an idea of what Goa is like.

Today was exactly what I had hoped for. My guide, Savio C, was incredibly knowledgeable about Goan history. In Old Goa, he pointed out and shared fascinating stories about the churches and basilicas, highlighting what made each one unique. On our drive to the Hindu temple, he took the time to explain the Hindu faith, and we were fortunate enough to enter the temple and experience the beauty of the religion firsthand. The visit to the plantation, followed by a delicious Goan lunch, was the perfect way to conclude the day. I feel I received a top-tier tour, and the care and insight Savio C provided were unmatched. Additionally, our driver, Rasheed, was very careful, and I felt safe throughout the entire journey.

The tour was beautiful and interesting. My driver Sachin and guide Shailesh shared interesting information and kept the tour at a good pace.

One pf the best activities we had in Goa. The churches and cathedrals we visited were impressive: monuments of faith dating of more than 500 years, and the plantation Farm really worth visiting We were luck enough to see the body of Sao Francisco Xavier in the last day in the Basilica do Bom Jesus, iconic church and important pilgrimage centre in India. At the Plantation Farm we experienced one of the most fragrant and tasty meals in Goa. Really lovely food and interesting walk around with a local guide to get to know Indian spices Our tour guide and driver were so kind and ready to take us wherever we wanted in Old Goa and surroundings . Tips: when entering the churches and temples, make sure you are wearing appropriate attire (no short or short dresses) out of respect Ask to taste Feni at the Farm, a fragrant liquor made out of cashew apples. Very strong

We had an excellent experience on this tour - visiting the historic sites of Goa and learning about the colonial history, the impact of the Catholic Church, as well as the still very strong influence of Hinduism - the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Bom Jesus Basilica with the relics of St Francis Xavier, the Church of St Francis of Assisi, and the Sé (St Catherine) Cathedral, were amazing to behold and to participate in the Hindu arti ritual at the Shree Mangueshi Temple was also a special highlight. Our tour guide, Dnyandeep, was super - he was very knowledgeable, friendly, patient and accommodating. We were never rushed at any of the sites on the tour and were able to take our time and take in the specialness of these religious sites, with Dnyandeep providing historical information and social and cultural details. The Tropical Spice Plantation tour was also excellent - our guide, Susmita, was very helpful in providing information on many of the plants, trees, fruits, and spices on the grounds of the plantation. The lunch was plentiful and delicious, with a lot of options and the food was made in the local Goan style. The cashew feni tasting was a fun way to end the tour. Our driver, Krishna, was also excellent and friendly, and drove us around safely from place to place. Definitely highly recommend this tour.
