What to expect
Goa has long been known for its churches and beaches. Most visitors to Goa make it a point to visit the monumental churches of Old Goa and come away with a few images of the monumental churches. However, there is something more to these churches that meet the eye!
There are absolutely astounding works of art on the walls of these monumental buildings that will amaze you. From simple child-like drawings on the walls made in vegetable dyes and mineral pigments to the ancient art of KAAVI made with a paste of soil and charcoal filled into an etched design, these walls are, literally, worth a thousand words.
Join us on a uniquely different tour of the churches of Santa Monica, Our Lady of Rosary, Royal Chapel of St. Anthony and the ruins of St Augustine and listen to these ancient art walls speak.
The trail is for locals as well as tourists.

This was our 2nd walking tour with Soul Travelling and Bob. We were so engrossed in the stories that we never stopped despite the rain. Bob and his associates made sure we were always comfortable and entertained. We learnt so much about the history of Old Goa! It makes the world of a difference when you have such knowledgeable guides. We also loved the snack stop at the end which was like a trip down our childhood memory lane. Thank you Bob (and the lovely associates)! I hope you guys expand into different parts of India and Europe.Amazing trail with Adolfina who loves goa christianism and history!
