As someone who wanted to visit Fontainhas not just for the photos but for the stories behind the beautiful architecture and art. Karan was amazing, super fun and knowledgable, and we had a wonderful time hanging out with him. Highly recommend everyone to take this walk to add more meaningful to your otherwise colourful photos :)

Had a great time exploring the colourful lanes of this town with Koonan’s detailed stories. I had done this walk 4 years ago, but I learnt so many new things this time too!

We did the Velha Goa to Nova Goa trail with Karan Koonan after about n year later. Surely recommend this trail for an immersive experience in Goa's heritage and culture through centuries. Karan is a great ambassador, and made the trail memorable for us !!

Story telling, the history, and the house, 3 hrs went by just like that. One of the most amazing experiences with soul Travelling all thanks to Roy! Very friendly and informative. This was my third experience with soul Travelling but not the last.

Had a wonderful time here. Roy was an amazing guide. He took through an old goa house here and introduced to an amazing bakery. A Must guided exploration!!

An absolute pleasure to be taking this tour. The tour was 1:1, unlike others. You are not jostling for attention or taking away bits and pieces of information from a standard (read mundane) script. Koonan, my guide gave me insights about the city that I never knew. Be it the poi bread story or the old mint house owned by the Portuguese government. Highly recommended tour. Enjoy.

Seeing and walking through Panaji with our local guide Roy was truly a impressive experience. We were able to experience a lot of different things about Goan history, cultur, architecure and people. Roy was very knowlegable and was open to answer our questions. Would highly recommand this experience.
