Traveler reviews
Walk down the history lane
The tour was great and Raynan is a gentleman who conversed well about everything and made the tour memorable with his knowledge and wittiness.
Aguda fort
"We had an incredible time exploring Fort Aguada, all thanks to our guide, [yashasvi]. They didn't just rattle off dates; they told fascinating stories about the Portuguese battles, the massive freshwater storage system, and the old lighthouse. They knew the perfect spots to avoid the crowds and take stunning photos of the Arabian Sea. If you visit the fort, make sure to ask for [yashashivi]—they truly make the history come alive!"
A Must-Do Heritage Tour in Goa
We, a family of four, visited the Fort Aguada Jail & Campus Private Tour in May 2026, and it was truly an amazing experience. A special mention to our storyteller, Yashasvi, who brought the history of the fort and jail to life with her engaging narration and deep knowledge. Exploring the old prison cells, chapel, kitchen, secret passages, and other areas not usually accessible to visitors was both fascinating and memorable. The tour offers a unique glimpse into Goa’s colonial past and freedom struggle, complemented by breathtaking views of the Arabian Sea. It was informative, well-organized, and enjoyable for all age groups. Highly recommended for families and anyone interested in history, culture, and heritage.
Great experience with Yashasvi
Great tour experience of Aguada Jail Complex with Yashasvi, who guided us through the experience and was very well-versed with the history of the place. Highly recommended if you want to explore something not so touristy in Goa.
Very informative. Worth it.
Very informative tour. Even got to visit some of the areas closed to the general public. Yashasvi was a really knowledgeable guide.
