Travel Photography Walking Tours of Goa by Francisco de Souza

Francisco is an award-winning international photographer who has created a series of fully guided private walking tours through some of North Goa’s most interesting local markets and villages. On the tours he shares simple to understand (and remember) tips to truly enhance your photography skills and really boost your confidence when taking travel photographs. Much more than just photography tours – these cultural tours of Goa provide a unique insight into Goan people and places. All of the sites we visit are engaging and interesting in their own right, so non-photographers are very welcome. In addition you don't need a fancy camera to join a walking tour; point-and-shoot cameras and smartphones can also capture amazing photographs if you know the tricks and learn the right approach. The walking tours are a perfect mix of learning your camera's capabilities and perfecting your photography while enjoying local Goan life. Francisco also guides tours through North and South India.

We meet Mr Farooq and was a remarkable experience. Not only the warm welcome but the attention to details. Farooq has a fantastic knowledge of gems and the manufacturing is of perfect quality. He also can quickly understand the customer preferences and direct us to the sweet spot. Of course that when back in Europe, I took the jewells for assessment. Feedback was perfect. Definitely a reference to have... and if you want a perfect jewell, that is the place.

Goa Aquatics

Reviewed By Rohan178

We were looking for a place to try diving as we had never been before. The owner, Anindya, was very welcoming and knowledgable and made the pool diving lesson very fun. The open water diving was amazing, diving around a shipwreck off the coast of a beautiful island in the ocean (Grande Island). The staff we dived with, Bruce and Gayatri were really good at taking it slowly, making sure we were comfortable with everything and they were PADI certified. The equipment was safe and they provided all of it - no need to bring masks or anything. They catered for our dietary needs (vegetarian) and provided lots of delicious local food for lunch during the open water diving. Also, on site there is a really nice street food vendor who sells yummy samosas and hot chai tea. We would 100% recommend getting some food from him as it helped to keep the kids occupied during the journey to the island! Another hidden gem was the Literati library and cafe. We came here after our dive as it is just down the road from the dive centre and enjoyed the library and luxurious chocolate brownie! The cafe is well documented on google maps but easy to miss, tucked away into a side street. This is a great place to come for beginner and experienced divers and we'd definitely come again!
