Amazing Experience | Would highly recommend
Did the heritage walk with Calvin and I’m genuinely so glad I decided to do this experience. Calvin was extremely knowledgeable, but what impressed me the most was the way he brought the stories of Fontainhas to life. From the history and architecture to the small cultural details you’d normally miss, every part of the walk felt engaging and meaningful. His storytelling kept the entire experience interesting from start to finish, and you could really feel his passion for the place and its heritage. Even though my roots are from Goa, I was still amazed by how much new information and insight I gained through this walk. It gave me a deeper appreciation for the culture, history, and charm of the place in a way I hadn’t experienced before. I’d highly recommend this to anyone wanting to explore Goa beyond the usual tourist experience. Right after completing the heritage walk, I signed up for the Feni and Tapas experience and I’m so happy I did. I had the pleasure of meeting Vimala, and since it ended up being just me, the entire experience felt very personal and intimate. We had some wonderful conversations, and I got to learn so much not just about Feni, but also about local Goan traditions, food, and everyday life. Vimala was warm, welcoming, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout. It honestly felt less like a formal experience and more like spending time with someone passionate about sharing their culture. This is definitely one of those experiences I’ll remember long after leaving Goa.

What a great night! Pawan was knowledgeable, insightful of both Goa and food. We were fortunate to be the only guests on the tour and we thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed approach to the evening.
