"A very enjoyable tour with a guide who is clearly passionate about his work. The tour was varied and detailed where required, but relaxed and laid back when appropriate. Well organised, there was history, architecture, a window into local life as well as a tasty lunch and a plantation visit. Cooling towels and chilled water kept us refreshed."

"Mario is exceptional. His years of experience and high levels of knowledge are evident throughout the day. He left no question unanswered as he guided us expertly through a glimpse of the political, cultural and religious history of Goa. The day started at a wood fired bakery were we ate many pastries. The market was bustling , check out the produce and the art work. We got to visit historic churches and temples with detailed and interesting information along the way. The spice plantation gave us a great insight into the cultivation, harvest , dietary and medical uses of many plants. The plantation also served us with the most delicious meal that was beyond our expectations. Our comfort was considered throughout the day and water and cold towels were offered frequently. We finished the day with a swim at the beach and the door to door service was great. Communication was prompt and informative and we would not hesitate to reccomend Mario to help you enjoy a wonderful day in Goa."

"I had the distinct pleasure of being guided through Goa by Mário, whose professionalism and expertise made the entire experience exceptionally rewarding. Mário possesses an impressive depth of knowledge of Goa’s history, which he conveys with clarity, enthusiasm, and a genuine passion for the region. His explanations struck an excellent balance between detail and accessibility, allowing for a rich understanding of both the historical context and the cultural nuances of the area. What truly set Mário apart, however, was his remarkable ability to adapt the experience to my specific interests and preferences. He took the time to understand what I wished to see and experience, and from this, he crafted a thoughtfully tailored itinerary that maximised both time and enjoyment. This flexibility and attentiveness ensured that every moment felt purposeful and engaging. In addition to his professional capabilities, Mário is an exceptionally pleasant and courteous individual. His warm demeanour and natural friendliness made the experience not only informative but also genuinely enjoyable. His command of English is excellent, facilitating clear communication throughout and allowing for meaningful and fluid conversation. I would not hesitate to recommend Mário to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, adaptable, and personable guide in Goa. His dedication to delivering a high-quality, personalised experience is evident in every aspect of his work."

"I was fortunate enough to tour in and around Panaji, Goa with Mario a few weeks ago. His service is incredibly polished. He was punctual, flexible, courteous and proffered ice-cold water and towels throughout the day. However, the keys to success of the trip were Mario's deep knowledge and irrepressible PASSION for Goa's history and culture. He brought the sights to life with insights and anecdotes that you can't find in any guidebook. Even while travelling between attractions he was at pains to point out interesting sights at the roadside. I thoroughly recommend Mario to anybody travelling in Goa. "
