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.

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.

Excellent tour with Katienne, who made 2 hours fly by with anedoctes and historical facts about the quarter. I really found cute both the stop at the bakery and the fact that Make it Happen gives you the chance to send a postcard anywhere in the world, taking care of the shipping. Well done!

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.
