What to expect

Once known as the ‘Rome of the East', Goa is packed with religious monuments, grand cathedrals and colonial relics. On this full day tour, you'll visit both her capitals, past and present. Panaji – the current one – and Old Goa, the former seat of Portuguese power. Along the way you'll have an expert guide and enjoy a delicious lunch.Where better to start your journey than the former capital, Old Goa. As the seat of Portuguese rule for 200-years, it's steeped in rich history and architecture. In the Basilica of Bom Jesus, you'll discover sacred relics before moving on to the Se Cathedral to see its golden bell – the largest in Asia.Then, it's on to Panaji for a shopping stop in the city centre. And after a tasty lunch at the Goa Marriott or Vivanta by Taj, you'll head for a rickshaw ride around the city's old quarter. Trundling through narrow lanes and small squares, you'll round off at the bustling daily market where free time to shop or explore ends your day.

Good itinerary. Historic church visits very interesting but rushed with only 10 minutes in each church. Then we were given 40 minutes free time in the vegetable market which was excessive - especially following security warnings by the guide! After objections the time here was reduced to 25 minutes but most people were ready to leave even earlier.

There was a lot of waiting around, including in a gift shop which was not on the itinerary. The tour was a good way of seeing a lot in a day thought. Lunch was good!

The overall experience was very good. A couple of minor things would have made it perfect. One is that when we arrived at the temple, a little better explanation of what it was all about and the background behind the offerings and walking around the back of the altar would have given a better insight. The other thing was that the time allowed at the fruit and veg market was a little too long. It was interesting to see but we just stood around talking until the time was up

A coffee break mid morning would be good. We were walking the old Portuguese part in old Goa, stopped at a little bakery but we had to move on straight away. Also we could have walked from there to the fruit/veg market and the hotel where we had lunch. Instead of on/off the bus. Both myself and my friend walk with sticks and getting on and off is harder than walking. X
