Really enjoyed the tour of the old Portuguese area of Panjim. Our guide, Joaquim, was very knowledgeable in the history and architecture. We discovered parts of the area that we would never have found (Read More) by ourselves including a lovely old bar and excellent restaurant that we tried after the tour finished.

Narain was excellent. Tour was informational but also well-paced so that we were able to take pictures and get to know the area. He even showed us hidden gems included a delicious Portuguese bakery.
