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!

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.

I must say, it was excellent working with Crossmiles travel for organising my engagement in Goa, end to end. From booking the hotel and tools, the management of the decor and venue for the engagement, as well as transport for the guests, everything went off extremely smooth and in the best price. Willy and his team were personally involved as if we were his family and I can't thank him and his team enough. Excellent to work with and zero tension.

The discovery begins with the local Tinto (Market) where all the produce from the three villages are sold. Then we witness the large sized conventional machinery that are used to squeeze coconut oil in the purest form. The British have their mark in the making of the village transport system that still carry memories of the colonial past. We explore different items and stories of how the Portuguese developed trade in this region with the help of the British. Not to forget the tales of the legends of the village that have aided the liberation movement in Goa. Following which we head to the oldest church in the village that was known to have been connected by a waterway in the past. Finally, the infamous mystery behind the three kings chapel and why it became popular as the most haunted place in Goa.

We are in the city of Chandrapur which also happens to be the Oldest known capital of Goa. Picture the days gone by where it had armies, fortifications, battles and flourishing trade. Right from the Bhojas to the Silaharas, Chandor was a thriving settlement due to the connectivity that the river Kushavati provided to the travelers. The village is famous for the legend of the Queens curse that was brought upon the village as a result of treachery of the warriors of the kingdom. We will be exploring Chandor as it stands today speaking of its rich past and we meet the current generation of the family members of one of the most prestigious heritage homes in the village. Join us as we take a look at Chandor through its houses.

Had a wonderful tour of Chandor today with Ram. He was also generous to add a few additional stops, since I was the only person in the tour and hadn't been in the area before! He was incredibly knowledgable about Goa history and really filled in a lot of gaps for me in my understanding of the history of this area. Really appreciated the attention and his tailoring the tour to me and my knowledge level (quite low when it comes to history, in general, much less Indian history) and made it relatable to me, making it more likely I will remember it!
