A very enjoyable tour with a guide who is clearly passionate about his work. The tour was varied and detailed where required, but relaxed and laid back when appropriate. Well organised, there was history, architecture, a window into local life as well as a tasty lunch and a plantation visit. Cooling towels and chilled water kept us refreshed.
Mario is exceptional. His years of experience and high levels of knowledge are evident throughout the day. He left no question unanswered as he guided us expertly through a glimpse of the political, cultural and religious history of Goa. The day started at a wood fired bakery were we ate many pastries. The market was bustling , check out the produce and the art work. We got to visit historic churches and temples with detailed and interesting information along the way. The spice plantation gave us a great insight into the cultivation, harvest , dietary and medical uses of many plants. The plantation also served us with the most delicious meal that was beyond our expectations. Our comfort was considered throughout the day and water and cold towels were offered frequently. We finished the day with a swim at the beach and the door to door service was great. Communication was prompt and informative and we would not hesitate to reccomend Mario to help you enjoy a wonderful day in Goa.
Whenever my husband and I travel to new cities around the world, we hire guides to showcase the city we’re in, and to teach us about its history and culture. In all of our travels, Anish ranks number one among guides. His language skills are impeccable, and he is super intelligent about everything. He’s a relaxed teacher who appreciates all questions. His intimacy with Varanasi’s hidden alleys made for very special experience. He also arranged for us to have excellent front row boat seats at the evening ceremony (Aarti) near or hotel. We hired him again the next day to take us to Sarnath, the site of Buddha’s first sermon, and to a silk cooperative, also enlightening. Can’t say enough good things about him. He was the best. Thanks Anish!
