The Feni & Tapas tour
The Feni & Tapas tour is an absolute must for anyone visiting Goa! Mine turned out to be a lovely private tour, and my guide Petulla was wonderful — she explained the local culture and the whole process of making feni in such an engaging, heartfelt way. She made sure I got to taste a lovely variety of fenis, and every moment felt thoughtful and special. It's the kind of experience that really stays with you. I can't recommend this tour enough — if you're in Goa, don't miss it. Thank you, Petulla, for such a memorable Evening!
A sip of Goa
Petula our guide was a really sweet lady who went out of the way to ensure we soak into the culture and enjoy ! A beautifully curated experience , just the perfect way to enjoy goan culture
One of the best experience
Went on the Make It Happen food trail and honestly did not expect to enjoy it this much. Skip the usual tourist stops, this one actually gets you into real Goa. We wandered through the old lanes and within ten minutes it stopped feeling like a tour and started feeling like a walk with a friend who happens to know everyone. Our host had a story for almost every stall, some about a recipe, some about how the neighbourhood used to be before the tourists showed up.
Exploring Fontainhas one Feni at a time
We had a wonderful experience with Make it Happen and truly got to explore a side of Goa we never would have seen otherwise. The Fontainhas are a slowly discovered gem and our host Petulla, who is a Goan, was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She is a true foodie and took us to the best spots for Feni and authentic Goan food. There was karaoke at one bar, walls of graffiti in another, typical thali meals at one restaurant and the finale at a beautiful Portuguese style bungalow. Interacting with locals and hearing their stories was an incredible experience. It took us around 3 hours and time just flew by. Highly recommend doing this tour and you’ll be lucky if you get Petulla as your guide.
