Amazing Panjim City Tour
I have came with a group of 20 people. Rachana Maam was there to assist us all for the day. It was a walking tour and trail and I must say we didn't felt bore a single minute as all the time was well utilised she took us back in the olden times with her knowledge of history about Panjim city and museum along the way we did activities like sketching and painting,enjoyed the local bakery and cafeteria. It's was total fun. Thank you so much Rachana Maam and entire Make it happen team.
A lovely guided walkthrough at Museum.of Goa
I had a guided walkthrough with Niranjan from "Make it happen" at the Museum of Goa in pilerne. It's a lovely museum and the experience was made all the more special with Niranjan's detailed explanations.of the various exhibits with a generous sprinkling of history and cultural context. I thought I.knew history well.enough but niranjan's.probing questions left me fumbling. it was good to fill in the blanks and leave with a deeper understanding of how religion, culture and art comingle in the complex history of goa through famed artist Subodh Kerkar's lens.
Walking with Mr Bu. Art Saunter in Panjim
Very interesting history, learnt how to use watercolours. Vaibhav was kind and patient, would recommend this walk for other art/history enthusiasts
Art and all about Goa!
If you’re interested in art, culture, heritage and history- then MakeItHappen is the what will make it happen! Despite having visited Goa multiple times in the past, I was still largely clueless about it’s history, and this why I opted for the Panjim Art Saunter by MakeItHappen. It has been wonderfully curated by Raysancia who guided us through the tour with stories along the beautiful alleys of Panjim. The colourful buildings of Fontainhas and the cute cafés out there came alive with the narratives that were new to us. What was most interesting was having to sit and sketch plein air with our guide Raycancia who is a wonderful artist herself, making this a perfect way to imbibe the city and its beauty. Go ahead and check out this walk to add a special sparkle to your holiday here in Goa!
An immersive Goan experience
The art saunter was an excellent amalgamation of history, culture and art of Goa. We learnt about historical monuments, stopped to make sketches, and got to absorb the local vibes. It was very well organised with high quality materials given to every participant, and was great for art enthusiasts as well as amateurs.
