Discovering Madgaon’s Rich Heritage - I thoroughly enjoyed the heritage walk through Madgaon. Our hosts, Heidi and Varun, were incredibly informative and guided us through some truly fascinating and lesser-known local spots. Heidi’s handbook filled with old photographs added a unique touch, offering a vivid glimpse into the city’s rich past. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone interested in the culture and history of Madgaon.

Margao walk - Rajat the ambassador was super knowledgeable and friendly, it was great getting to know little facts about Goa, specifically Margao and the old buildings around... Was very nice to have a glimpse into the local culture and lives of people too, loved meeting the pao aunty, visiting the quaint bookstore and saying hello to the cafe owner along the trail. Nice way to spend a couple of hours productively in Goa

"A Walk Through Time in Margao – Culture, Stories, and Goan Flavours!" - We had a wonderful time exploring South Goa with our warm and knowledgeable host, Tavanya. She gave us a detailed and insightful tour, especially about the rich history and culture of Margao. Tavanya was incredibly friendly, helpful, and went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable throughout the experience. Walking through the old, charming lanes of Margao and admiring the forgotten Portuguese-influenced architecture was like stepping back in time. The tour concluded with a delightful tasting of local snacks from a beloved Goan bakery. A must-do for anyone who enjoys history, culture, and authentic local experiences.

Transporting back in time - The walk with Tavanya was a beautiful experience for me. She filled my historical curiosity effectively and walking on the Margao lanes with her were like being transported back in time. We also had amazing Goan snacks at a local cafe there and she even helped me navigate public transport to reach at my stay safely :)

Excellent tour! - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour, which we decided to do on our first full day in Goa. It was enhanced by the extremely safe driver and knowledgeable, friendly guide. Highlights were the stunning setting at the spice plantation, the beautiful Fontainhas area and not being rushed. Highly recommended and many thanks 😊

Amazing experience created by soul travelling team - A huge thank you to the entire team at Soul Travelling for creating such amazing experiences! We recently joined the Margao City Walk, and from the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Pankaj and his incredible team. Our journey began at the Holy Spirit Church, where Pankaj captivated us with fascinating insights into the history of the church and the surrounding architecture. Throughout the two-hour walking tour, we explored over 400 years of history, learning about Goa’s evolution from its early settlers to the present day. Pankaj’s knowledge and storytelling skills brought the past to life, making every moment engaging. We also discovered the significance behind the colorful buildings, intricate designs, and the social hierarchy reflected in the architecture—details we would have otherwise missed! The time flew by, and we are now excited to explore more experiences based on the team’s recommendations. Once again, thank you, Soul Travelling, for making our holiday even more memorable!
