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!

Saligao is a beautiful village you will pass by without ever noticing its true colours. From the Gothic Mãe de Deus Parish Church built in 1873 to the Indo-Portuguese houses , Saligao has created a niche for itself. This trail explores the beauty of this picturesque village. We explore the village through its village clubs, chapels, houses and the culture of the village. Who were the original settlers of this village? How does this village get its name? Why does a ward in this village have villagers with the same middle name? Find out this and much more on this journey filled with stories :)

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 were unsure what Agate Travel would be like as we found them on the internet and had never come across them before. However we should not have worried as they delivered exactly what they promised showing us all the sites promised. We had 3 separate guides who were all friendly and knowledgeable and 1 main driver Anand Singh who looked after us and was great company. Would certainly recommend Agate Travel.

Organising was easy online and I was able to watsapp to confirm hotel pick up. Driver was punctual and polite (Satish ) Trip was to waterfalls. For anyone with back problems to note the Jeep ride from the base is very rocky and quite long (over 30 mins). There is then a 15 min walk over rocky path. You are given 1 hour at the falls which is sufficient 2nd stop was spice plantation which was interesting and not too hard a sell to buy spices. Traditional buffet lunch also provided. Note drinks must be paid for. Final stop was 2 churches in old Goa - would have been helpful to have guides included for these Overall enjoyable - we left hotel at 7am and came back by 3.30
