CULTURAL & HISTORIC DAY TOUR ATTRACTIONS - Churches, Temples & Spice Plantation
My wife and I booked this tour for the day the Celebrity Constellation was in Goa. What a day! We saw so much of the religious, social and cultural life of Goa in 6.5 hours. Our guide, Neves, and driver, Antonio were top notch. We saw many churches not on most tourist itineraries (St Ana church, Mary on the Mount, St Sebastian), as well as the ones you'd expect (Church of the Immaculate Conception, Bon Jesus, Se Cathedral). We also went to local markets, explored the old town Portugese architecture, saw a sidewalk cobbler, and visited the Sri Mangueshi Temple, an example of Indo-Portugese temple architecture. We finished at the Tropical Spice Plantation for a meal and tour of the spices grown in the area. Despite having an hour and a half to make a less than one hour trip, a traffic accident nearly prevented our returning to the ship on time. The coordinated skills of Neves and Antonio, going down back roads, got us to the ship just in time. Thanks again for a spectacular tour!

    Colonial Goa and Spice tour
    Angela_S
    , Mar 2020
    An excellent day tour. The morning was spent visiting old Goa, seeing the colourful Portuguese colonial houses, churches and temples. (Take a scarf to cover your head while in the churches and temples and knees should also be covered.) Our excellent guide, Jo was full of information about the buildings and their history. The afternoon was spent in the organic spice plantation where a buffet lunch was served. Vegetarians and vegans are catered for as well. We had a fascinating tour of all the various spices and their uses. You can also buy spices and ointments at the plantation. The spice plantation is surrounded by a lake and grounds where we were delighted to see a kingfisher.

    Interesting experience

    , Jan 2020
    Quite an interesting experience especially the spice garden and the many uses of herbs which are not very well known and their simplicity and naturalness. The visits to churches and temples was also of interest and the guide ( Avinash if I remember correctly ) was quite knowledgeable about the history, traditions and beliefs of the many religious philosophies. No regrets on taking this tour. Very comfortable and courteous driver and guide.
