Our guide Jonas and driver Daniel were amazing. It was great having a local guide and driver tell us about Goa and Indian living in general. They answered all questions in a knowledgeable, engaging and open manner. It was well paced and I learnt a lot!

The guide and driver were both really nice throughout the day. Not once did they make me feel uncomfortable or unsafe. The guide was extra cautious when trying to cross streets as well. He was super knowledgeable and knew all the history.
