Things to do in Goa, India: The Best City Tours
The sandy coast of Goa is perfect for reclining by the sea. Nestle into a cushioned chair at a beach shack and savor a curry while you sip a Kingfisher beer, watching the sun slip lazily below the horizon. In Old Goa, the beautiful Basilica of Bom Jesus is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a fine example of baroque architecture. Visit during Christmastime to experience a fantastic religious and cultural mash-up of East and West.

I booked a domestic, international Meet and Assist transit service with your company for the first time. To say that I am very pleased with the service is to say nothing. I was met with a name placard just at the aircraft, taken by cart to a luggage pick-up area, and stayed at an arrival lounge for several hours to wait for my international flight check-in. Your customer service representative, Ajay, was extremely professional and attentive, really took great care of me as a solo female traveler with a few big suitcases, it was important to me to get an assist and feel safe during my transit time. When the time for my check-in came, another employee, Beny, with her colleague, accompanied me to the check-in counters and helped me go through all the procedures, taking me straight to my boarding gates. It was the best airport experience I had in India. Definitely worth every penny. Highly recommended!

The people of this area have managed to still keep its quaint familiar charm. The beautiful decorated ‘Azulejos’, the narrow alleys of this neighborhood gives way to striking views of the cityscape.

Organising was easy online and I was able to watsapp to confirm hotel pick up. Driver was punctual and polite (Satish ) Trip was to waterfalls. For anyone with back problems to note the Jeep ride from the base is very rocky and quite long (over 30 mins). There is then a 15 min walk over rocky path. You are given 1 hour at the falls which is sufficient 2nd stop was spice plantation which was interesting and not too hard a sell to buy spices. Traditional buffet lunch also provided. Note drinks must be paid for. Final stop was 2 churches in old Goa - would have been helpful to have guides included for these Overall enjoyable - we left hotel at 7am and came back by 3.30

Really fantastic day-trip. Just the two of us, together with our guide who seemed to be a bottemless pit of knowledge about the sites we visited and their history. But almost more importent to us was her willingness to share her experience and wealth of knowledge about everyday life in Goa today. Our only disappointment was that we were not able to enter the caves - especially having seen similar caves (in North Goa) on line. Not sure whether she felt we were too old to cope with the physical effort involved or the access was no longer possible. But it really didn't spoil the whole experience and we would recommend it to anyone interested in the historical and archaeological background to the region.
