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.

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

Had a great time ! Drive to the falls was breathtaking amid lush green forests. Jeep safari from the gate to the falls was the most memorable part of the trip apart from the Waterfall. Next we were taken to the spice plantation where we had a hearty lunch. Food was simple but very rustic. Loved the aroma! After that a guide took us on the tour of the spice garden and explained about the different varieties. I would like to thank Tripbea for this amazing experience and would strongly recommend this trip to everyone.
