Lovely insight into Portuguese history, architecture and culture.

Published on Mar, 2025

Karan was our guide. Great at storytelling, backed by good knowledge of history and also funny and witty. Patiently he walked us through the streets and provided great stories and backgrounds to different houses, streets and churches. We were also allowed inside one of the houses which was 188 years old and the owner did share the history and items within. We enjoyed our small bite and drink at confectionery 31 January. Lovely bakery where we purchase biscuits of different types. Very enjoyable and highly recommended for those who want to learn about Portuguese history of Goa and their culture.

Great experience

The tour guide Bob was amazing, full of knowledge and civility. Highly recommended for anyone who loves walking tours and wants to learn about the culture of a place.

Great guide, and a well-curated walk

Published on Feb, 2025

This was an absolutely wonderful experience. Our guide, Joshua was a great host and gave us the right amount of information. Never did we feel like it was a long history lesson. He kept it easy, and interesting. Also, kudos to Soul Travelling for including a walkthrough of a local's house. What a lovely home to tour! Thank you for this experience. It was a slice of Goa that's away from the beaches and the drinking. And, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Enriching experience in Goa’s Latin Quarters

Published on Feb, 2025

left India 47 years ago with the perception that Goa was all about the seaside/beaches. This tour humbled me and Bob introduced me to Goa’s rich past, vibrant culture and tradition. This was only made possible by Bob who shared his knowledge and love for Goa in an engaging way. Joshua his assistant was with us ensuring that we stayed safe, together and took our group photos which I would love to see. My husband and I thank the owner, Mr Andrade who as a true Indian host welcomed us graciously to his Casa. The tour concluded with us being treated to freshly baked snacks and a refreshing Kokum drink at Confeitaria 31 De Janeiro bakery. Will definitely use them again….we may make Goa our winter getaway from Canada.

Excellent view into history of Goa

The latin quarter walk was extremely interesting and informative. This was particularly due to my guide, Bob, as he knew so much about the area - architecture, history, language, botany - and shared his knowledge in a warm and engaging manner.
